Who made this ladder?

I've not seen that one before, but voyager racks makes a tube ladder similar to that but standard length. This is the one I have on my truck.

Never seen it, but it looks annoying large. I really do prefer the stock one in the case of the ladder
Stock ones are garbage. They go from new to rusted out in about 4 years, ask me how I know.. The one Buddy linked is tight.
The one the OP asked about could be a BajaRack one. I thought they made a full length ladder for D1.
Edit: The BajaRack one looks different. http://store.adventuretrailers.com/bajarack-ladder-land-rover-dicovery-1/
I wonder if its the frontrunner rack

The truck also had the stock winch basket (with some kind of modified brush guard, and limb risers...which come in really handly here in Abu Dhabi). May go back and see if its a parts rig.
All my efforts to find Saudi spec grills keep getting foiled b/c they are all beat to shit.

The voyager one doesn't look good though, and the rust issue is because of where you live haha.
I've got the Voyager ladder too. Much beefier than oem, but surprisingly light. Feels better in actual use.
I disagree, I think it looks better than the stock one. And it rusts because the flat mounting pieces are paper thin.
Technically you're incorrect, unless you're referring to comfort. Traction wise the two edges on the square tube offer more support. It's easier to slip off a round tube than square.
And like I said this is about aesthetics.
Personally I like the Voyager one better. I had a regular one in excellent shape with minimal rust and I still bought the Voyager one. Granted I bought it at an event auction for far less than their asking price. But it's much beefier and feels much sturdier than the standard size. It Makes a really nice handle for opening and closing the door.
i prefer to duct tape a Werner ladder to my spare tire.....
Then when I need a regular ladder i just cut the duct tape off. Bam.....tactical ladder

What if the ladder has a spot to zip tie a machete to it? Oh....and the shovel is hidden inside. Definitely tactical!
Maybe it's because I'm tall, but I've never used the ladder on the back of my truck to climb onto the roof. I use the ladder (factory LR) as a handhold when stepping up onto the bumper. From there I can reach pretty much the whole back half of the roof. If I need to reach something further forward I can stand on the top of the tire or the sill. The tailgate of a RRC is even better to stand on. You can practically hold a concert on that thing.
I have to admit, it was enjoyable to sit on the roof rack on knewsom's Disco in Ensanada before the Baja 1000 a couple years back. Great vantage point to watch the world go by. Here's the man himself:
