Wait. What?!
Looks like ICON or some such has had their way with it.

The ad includes the "story" of Land Cruisers, as a copy of the U.S. Military Jeep.
While this has been the popular tale, there is little in common between the M-jeeps and the Cruisers.
What IS more similar is the old Dodge Power Wagon. Frames & crossmembers similar, gusseted axles, other components similar, much more. So, IMO, if there was reverse engineering done by Toyota, it was from the Power Wagon.
BTW and FWIW, the huge air filter on the '68 - '73 Cruisers is exactly the same as used in Huey helicopters.

This was my exact response when I read the thread title.
ICON or not I've never seen Jonathan Ward selling an FJ for that much.
But hey, if they can sell it more power to 'em.
Def not an Icon / Jonathan Ward creation - and I'm not convinced that's a female...
Yeah, I mostly mean someone LIKE Icon, not Icon themselves. If it were, they'd make that really clear in the ad. That's definitely the look they were going for though.
I concur with both assertions.
That is not a very good looking truck.....
From a short bit of reading of the ad....I would say these guys made it

I hate to sound judgmental or unfaithful to cruisers but IMHO anyone willing to pay a 1/4 of that amount for a cruiser either has no brains or way too much money or both.
This must be for 6 of these...
Had I known that modified they were worth so much I would not have paid so much attention to keeping mine stock. Stupid me.
Can't really see this doing the Rubicon!!!
Wow. I read through the ad and then linked to the fab shop. It gave me a few chuckles. I'd love to be a fly on the wall during one of their builds. It's got to be reminiscent of the Sopranos up in there. So much ego.
