There's numerous vendors in here that can hook you up, but i'm the build it yourself sort. Not got one done for my 60 yet as i'm still in the design stage. Good fortunes to finding one you like
I built mine years ago. The prospects were $2500 then for bumper and swing-outs. I bought a Hypertherm Powermax45 for $1800
and built my own. There is a build thread on here from days gone by. edit: found it
I wanted to build my own rear bumper. I have a 4+ on the front, and it's fantastic! Really well made and just enough without being too heavy. I got it as I was in a hurry to go north for a moose hunt and we were going into new territory and I needed a winch for the 'just in case' that might happen. North being 300 kms north of Ft St James, BC.
Had my eye on this one FJ60/62 Rear Bumper - https://dissentoffroad.com/products/fj62-rear-bumper
I also like the design 4x4 labs bumper, but... I bought one of their bumpers for my 80 complete with powder coating and it was the worst powder coating EVER. It started flaking off almost immediately and now it's a rusted mess. I bought a slee front bumper around the same time and it looks perfect to this day. It's like 4x4 labs (or whoever they had doing their powder coating) did nothing to prep the bumper. So, yeah... And the tire swingout rattles like crazy. Love the departure angle and protection design though - just disappointed in the fit and finish.

While DIY is awesome, there are solid vendor options. Trail Tailor, Dissent, 4x4labs, 4plus, coastal off-road.
I did Dissent front and rear, with white knuckle sliders
