There's not alot of choices for a prerunner style bumper. They are a few though. I have not seen one with a 2" receiver. Easy to add though.

I made my own bumper. Cost about $150 in materials.

I don't have welding skills unfortunately. Want to make me one or sell me yours?

Metal Tech and Demello are the two most common ones. There have been some others that don't make them anymore. I have seen a couple of others on the forums, but I don't recall the companies that make them.

If I had the time, I would make you one, but currently prepping the race truck for the upcoming season, and I have to finish my roll cage in the FJ.

Check with some local fabricators. Bring them some photos of a bumper you like, and see how much they'll charge to make it. If I recall, the Demello is around $800.

I would google pre-runner bumpers for the fj and then look for a used one for sale so then you could modify it to your specs. Or contact a company that makes them and ask for a receiver be added. Remember, Google is your friend. I have a Metaltech tube w/ winch mount, they are great bumpers and those guys make a non winch version also, they are pretty flexible guys maybe they would mod one up for you, good luck
