That Eucalyptus Green is a beautiful color. I can't afford one, but I sleep much better at night knowing someone is taking these old pieces of coal and turning them into priceless diamonds. Thank you for doing what you do.
I really like the minimalist design which masks how much complexity is in the truck.
If I could own only one automobile my whole life, it would be an Icon. This is American Manufacturing at its best. Keep up the good work guys.
I actually quit watching any T.V and now watch these videos..this Fj is another example
of perfect execution (me being the perfectionist type) I cant find any flaws or anything
that could have been done different..these ICON'S are rolling National Treasures.!
Just kidding about the T.V but these videos are better than 99% of what's on the tube.
This has to be my favorite FJ ever! I love the hard top on these old FJs! Everything serving a purpose, and so well thought out. Now if only I could afford one....
I’ve had 2 FJ40s. One stock 69, 3 on the tree. One 77 with leaf over, power steering and a V8 by Earl Warden and me...built in Corvallis Montana after he retired. This FJ is an absolute dream. Wish I had the means.
The derelicts are the best but this is a close second you gotta love the thought that goes into every aspect of these vehicles
Amazing craftsmanship and attention to detail...hats off to ICON for keeping the legends rolling...
Of all the videos, I keep revisiting this model. The hard tops are rare but worth it.
So very nice. The workmanship is clearly evident at various points in the presentation.
I am Italian, but from what I am passionate American Motors now I just see them and identify ...
Congratulations I follow your work, make good schemes done ... it would be nice if you had a car workshop in italya.
A greeting from a former mechanic Dakar ... keep it that way.
Hello.
You should consider doing more research on ICON and all the vehicles under its name. These vehicles are completely custom. Yes, they are pricey, but you have to see through to what J is saying, it's all about the craftsmanship. To be really honest if you are in love with something, your going to do what ever you can to acquire said item. J these guys don't understand what you and your wife have created and see in these vehicles. Love what you are doing!
Seven years later, the truck has been sold twice, and it still my favorite!
This guy (JW) is fantastic. I bet if you asked him about the door hinges or the windshield gasket he'd talk for 15 minutes about how it was made and why it's the best option.
Awesome! I guess is free maintenance for 20 years with all those professional parts. Excellent Job. Mr. Ward!
My dad had a 1986 Bandeirante OJ50LV-B (the brazilian denomination)... the car was truly amazing.
Loved the device in 3:36, simple but efficient.
i love that kind of land cruiser
سياره قابله للتعديل والترهيم بشكل خيالي حتى انه نزلت كتالوجات امريكيه فيها جميع القياسات والاكسسوارات اللتي تحتاجها لترهيمها
this vehicle so success around the globe its still running in many country and doing adventures offroad :)
Actually, Jonathon is following a tradition from the very very earliest days of FJ modification by installing small block Chevy V8's like my Uncle who installed a Chevy 350 in his in the early 70's to travel motor down the Baja peninsula.
TMBS, I do have a soft spot for the inline 6 Toyota diesel which we don't see here in the US, and, regarding other Toyota sourced petrol engines, Jonathon addresses this issue in another of his (Jay Leno's Garage) videos.
its really nice to see passionate people making their dreams a reality. keep it up!
best fj40 I've ever seen in my life great job ,there is tons of fj40 in honduras but diesel engine ,but this one you build guys is the godzilla of the FJ
Just Fantastic. Top shelf.
really really incredible job in al the vehicles i have seen from icon. impossible to have a cheaper price with all the engineering. details and the quality of the materials used. keep up with the good job. and congratulations!!!
uuuhhhh...this is may favourite fj40 froam jonathan ward...bravo...many-many times have watching this one...
Wow pure talent! That's something to be proud of!
you guys should get some of the long wheel base 4 doors and pick ups and do one up for something really unique. Lots of them in Australia. Cheep given the exchange rate now. Love your stuff. Well thought out and great execution.
You guys really did an aaaawesome job here. Incredible. This is art.
Absolutely incredible !!! Still looking foward, and hoping , to have you build my Scrambler like that someday.
Fantastic job! I would rather have this than a BMW x5 or a Cayenne! If I had the money you would have a new client!
Now that is beautiful!! If only...
You do wonderful work
...most certainly one of the most meticulous jobs of ingenious design one has ever seen - fantastically done and demonstrated guyz! ‘brutally expensive’ one has to follow up on. The lure of your unequalled standard is hugely overpowering. Will find out where you are and follow up. Greetings from ZA and the Fairest Cape of Good Hope - slowly emerging, passionately emerging ex the CV and damnable ZA political stranglehold of the past quite a while. NEVER ÉVER say die...Beste!
Astonishing FJ...
I love the FJ40. I just have an issue with the colour. Incredible work.
I encourage you to try and I can't wait for the end result!
Beautiful rig I wish I had the money to buy it but you guys do amazing job
That fj is sick.
Absolutely stunning
I really like this one. Wow. Just change out the white roof and white headlight frame. make them black. ha ha. Nice truck.
I actually find a few of the big changes a little TOO modern but I'm really biased against new cars. These things are amazing though and I love the workmanship, I also really like how you explain the price point at the end. New cars are shit, primarily because they are built with the wrong attitude. This is built with the right attitude - no question.
Nice love the color. 😎
Another nice one, Jonathan! had one in the late 70s, olive with white roof. Loved that car, but must admit, I do like the Eucalyptus-Green color. Really nice!
Very nice work I wish my Nissan Patrol 160 had suspension like that .
Hello buddy, how are you? looking at your car like this I noticed a certain similarity with ours here in Brazil, by the way my name is Joel and I speak here in Brazil friend congratulations on the car, it really is very beautiful!!
Great color combo
Yeah I used to have a 73 FJ-40 and when I was looking to buy it one of the things I hated more than anything was seeing the chevy bow tie on the grill of an FJ-40 and would automatically walk away from the purchase. My next FJ-40 project I plan on putting in the 3.4 tacoma engine with a Marlin dual T-case set up and TRD supercharger. But dont get me wrong I really like ICON's work their trucks are top notch for sure but if I was to spend 100g's on one I would want it powered by Toyota.
Awesome truck, just a couple of thoughts, I do a lot of off road driving and I would say that LED mounted at the rear under the bumber would likely be ripped off on tough tracks, and it looks like the exhaust muffler sits quite low. Adjusting these to sit higher would be a wise move. Love your work
Hey John, I wouldn't really consider the front suspension to be triangulated. The pan-hard does the locating. People might get confused.
I'm a huge fan and I assume your attention to detail would transfer to your description of your products.
Love the videos and the vehicles!
What a beauty! 😊
This truck is fucking AWESOME. Well done, boys.
looks amazing, well done
Bad to the bone, killer work!!
Too bad nobody does this in Costa Rica, there´s tons of these laying all over the place. Back in the day the cars to have were either a Land Cruiser FJ40 or a Land Rover. so much that Land Cruisers came with a factory sticker below the windshield that read "Otro Toyota", another Toyota!!
Very nice, I hope I didn't read $150k for one, I've owned 9-10 fj40's and know how expensive costs can add up, but that price is quite hilarious
Jonathan Ward do you supply soft top when selling a removable hardtop model, thanks for the amazing videos and being an inspiration
Wow.. Guys. Art on wheels. If you ever need a custom bag to go along with a truck. Give me a call please .
An automatic that APPEARS as a manual?? You know what's even cooler than that? A manual. Other than that I'm in love with this little rig.
We are building for a client an 1972 FJ40 with a 4.7 V8 Jeep grand cherokee running gear.
I'm surprised you don't have your own T.V show yet!
Was produced in Brazil beetween 1958-2001 under name of Toyota Bandeirante.
Your clients are smart enough to drive a lifted, narrow wheel-based, top heavy truck at 90mph?
I'm sorry I don't want to come off as a dick, I love what you guys do and can appreciate the lengths you go to to make the very best product. I just think K/M 2's would do the truck more justice.
I,m not knocking your idea...and yes I would buy one.........but my first thought was....wow what vehicle could I start a business to build, like this, It really is a licence to print money.......I am sure that showing your videos.....I could get investors.
Essa Toyota é o meu sonho desde 19 anos quando servi no exército hoje tenho 45 anos mas com cara de garoto contínuo sonhando com ela ajude-me a realizar esse sonho Jonathan
OOooo this was a nice one!
love these rigs. excellent work. surprised you stayed with the flimsy OEM side mirrors.
i like those leds headlights
Omg i am literally dreaming about this car
Made of high quality materials. I think this is designed only for off road.
Top Notch!
thats beautiful, love your logo by the way
I just love this beast ,,, amazing a very good attempt,,
real nice
well made!
AMAZING !!!!! make a version the " average joe" can afford. please.
I would like one but I would'nt want it to be powered by anything else other than a Toyota power plant, I know the big chevy V8 has more power and all but I think one of these ICON FJ's would be perfect with a 3.4 Tacoma motor and trans with a Marlin dual case set up maybe even with the Tacoma TRD supercharger or a newer land cruiser motor set up but I never like it when I see a big domestic motor in a Japanese legend such as the FJ40.
Nice car
"Brutally expensive".... and worth it from my perspective.
Super
Is it difficult to take the hardtop off and put the soft one up? I would imagine so.
Awesome job! Maybe do the voice over in the office instead of the shop though
Pressed tube axles with non removable third member....that are semi-floating doesn't seem right. Dana Spicer Borg Warner made them for manufacturers who were looking to save cost. Your vehicles demand a premium price. A full floater from an 80 series Cruiser with a high pinion and factory locker would be top shelf.
Sweet i have a scout 2. But not an eightth the amount of money it woukd take to do one
bad ass work!
nice like it
Hilarious to read guys commenting about the quality. Obviously for this price point, this build level should be a given.
nice car
this is the jeep killer
Looks like the spare swing gate was welded stronger than the front bumper and cargo carrier.
I like the stock fj 40 myself
but I like this too it is cool
Headlight dimmer switch on the floor. Dam I miss them.
Masterpiece
very nice car
To nice to drive or use
What is the color code for this eucalyptus green? Really like this color. Interested in painting mine same.
Amazing
Dope
OK ! Lets get started!, First, Tell Billy Bob to stop working, Second,turn off all cell phones because what you are saying is important to us.Third, It needs a bush guard,4x4 jack,spair fuel cans and Hella lights, AND last but not least!, Pistol mounts and rifle racks.B O O M !!!. NOW you ALMOST have the ultimate SHTF vehicle. Also, Thank You for keeping these vehicles alive.Jeeps are great,Land Cruisers are BETTER. OK ICONS are better.
So so tight!
Wow, these things are cool and pretty damn accurate. But I'll stick to my Toyota fj40, because of the strait 6 motor and it's so rugged it doesn't even have a radio
