What is the great deal, exactly? The guy blabs about the truck but never does say how much he wants for it. I assume that's Jonathan?

Looks nice and may be put together well but...

Yes this is one of Johnathon's. Only $125K. But it does have few scratches.

Yeowch. I see why the cost wasn't in the video now. Too much of a deal.

It does have full dynatrac axles with ARB air lockers and a new Vortec 5.3 motor (5k for the crate motor from GM, and 4k a piece for fully built Dynatrac axles). You have to understand TLC builds way nicer stuff than the average TBI swap cruiser thats on the road with bugger welds everywhere. Just had to give my 2 cents as I just did a ground up with a full powdercoated frame and cage, nicely welded everything, with a new crate 5.3 and I fully understand what goes into a build of this scale. Some people build stuff to abuse, others build what I like to call art.

Don't get me wrong, TLC builds nice stuff and I am all for capitalism and making money. I would love to stroke a check and buy one, but not in my price range. They do set the standard for high quality builds, IMO.

I agree TLC builds rigs that would be considered as a work of art. I wish there was more like there builds on the road to look at, still considering thats alot of dough.

I was fortunate to drive one earlier this year (even did some light wheelin') & agree they are very well put together, however I fail to see the value.

The one I drove had a SB Chev mated to a five speed. Handled nicely but I think my modded FJ/BJ outperforms it on the trail and on the road. I have spent more money on it than it's worth, but still nowhere near the price of an ICON.

I'm not knocking what TLC does - in fact I commend them for doing what they do - it's just not enough bang for the buck for me.

If it isn't making dollars, then it isn't making sense.
