Love your work Jonathan! Your attention to detail is off the charts! I love how you have repurposed different materials such as the chillowich. One of my favorites is the Icon visors.
I own an original 69 40 series so awesome to drive,I love it.Would like to own one of these with a 2JZ engine in it making an easy 600-800 hp,can drive it all day long,everyday and it would be all Toyota.
I think that would be a cool swap instead of doing the LS like everyone else. Staying brand correct. The turbo power might be a little tricky to manage offroad depending on how it is set up but if it is set towards torque not hp you should be good.
Bill El I agree with you, I know at that amount of hp they’re putting out way more torque then mine does stock but at a higher rpm,so if you’re just romping around in the mud & sand it would be good to go.
Toyota just needs to make a new FJ cruiser now that SUVs are red hot again and we aren't in a recession which happened during their last FJ. If Ford can bring out the Bronco, Toyota needs a new FJ!
The problem with Toyota is by the time the get a new FJ approved we will be in another recession because they are the slowest moving company around when it comes to design changes or new models. They take forever to make sure that the quality is there. Usually. I had a 2007 FJ Cruiser with a Walker Evan's reservoir coil over suspension upgrade and it was a blast. Put 200k on it before I got rid of it.
Those who know about custom builders, know Icon. But why cant we get a price on this build ? if anyone knows let me in on it. Also this is the opposite of a "poser" vehicle its has all the creature comforts and blends in everywhere it goes except to those who are like me
What a rich poser vehicle! This FJ44 is for the "I like old things, but I want to have every modern conveince" demographic. If you wanna see a true 4-wheel drive icon, i'll show you my 1981 Jeep CJ5.
I'm a subscriber and big fan of Jonathan ward and the icon brand.his attention to detail is fantastic sooo..its bugging me that there looks like a colour mismatch behind the front doors on this?
I could watch Jonathan Ward talk about his Icons all day. Would love to ride in one some day.
Right?
Too short, need more info.😢

For a company named Icon, I didn’t know it existed, so that’s a bummer.
Much love, your friends at Rev Media!!
Icon makes some amazing suspension stuff. Check them out. They have been around for quite a long time and are quality stuff.
You guys are the best I was especially Jethro, jhonny, Jason camisa and randy pobst
He also built Joe Rogan a custom Ford Bronco.
Did ya see Jay Leno's old school Bronco w/ a GT 500 crate motor? What a beast!

Ahhhhh, if only I could afford one...
Funny that this came up in my timeline. I love my FJ44
That FJ44 needs at least a 5-point harness on the front two seats. With that high of a stance, I would personally have a 5-point harness.
I have 07 fjcruiser , wish I had the money , so that icon can remake mine just like that.
How much is it?
$300,000+.
Yeah!
He will
@@jacobpadilla2025 I'd imagine so
The only problem with this video was that is wasn't several hours long. Perfect vehicle, two off road car guys chatting. Yep that will do. Thanks.
Now bring the SHERP

Got struck in a rut!!!!!! Could not make it out? What am I missing?
driving in 2wd
OMG Did you just post that? i would of loved to see them get out of it.
It was in 2WD and they have to manually lock the front hubs to engage the front wheels.
That Tassie Wargamer To make the rear wheels have posi-traction not to engage the front. That’s the transfer case, he just locked the diff.
@@colintorrey1442 he says it when he got out, he was going to lock the the front hubs...

I love the old FJs & Land cruisers.
Toyota land Cruiser 👍 👍 👍 👍
It Must be really expensive... cuz after beating round the Bush they STiLL didn't let you how much it was lol
If I remember right they were well into 100k+ completely refurbished with the LS swaps. I looked ut up once many years ago.
