Wow, just wow. Sorry if this has already been posted (searched but didn't see it), but here is a video of one of the newest ICON trucks, an FJ142 (62+80). Basically a 62 body on an 80 frame with tons of awesomeness. Enjoy.

Nice. Kind of what Manuchao did on his 60.

Me likey

I would (after winning powerball) commission a 140 pretty much the same as the 142 depicted except I would go with a 1FZ-FE with a supercharger and an A442F or a non-usa manual. Or perhaps a 2UZ-FE V-8 and a post-2003 5spd auto from a hundy. (wonder if it would fit between the frame rails???) But the interior it gorgeous. What a way to have it all....Wheels like an 80, full float rear, coils, disc brakes, all with the style of the 60...and factory e-lockers.

What's a pig + 80??? A 135?

I love the, third seat, although it would just be in the way. But still, it's pretty awesome. And I love those rims. Wonder what brand they are? Overall a very nice mixture of classic and modern.

Now there's an ICON model i really like.

 

[torfab]

That's a worthy conversion! It seems like the best of all worlds

That paint color is amazing. It's like a pearled dune beige.

They're at the Hjelte Sports Center in Encino, should anybody care...

 

[Joe_E]

How much for that rig you think?

 

[Trapper50cal]

From comments on youtube...over $100K

..."depends on the specifications but a serious resto-mod such as this can run $100K plus. thx

If you have to ask, you probably can't afford it, I'm afraid... I seem to remember a fj40 model going for six figures.

 

[tperry616]

Yeah. The market for those things is so weird. In that video he says something about how it was built for a customer that needed to drive between oil rigs in brazil or something. Very specific market that can spend 100k on a restoration/mod job like that.

Amazing trucks. A longer conversation about ICON (with more FJ140 pictures and info) is at the link below, courtesy of the Northwest Overland Society:

I'd have a hard time driving that thing. Maybe it's just me, but I can't imagine driving a $100k machine on a trail or even to the grocery store. Imagine the rage with something as small as a door ding.

 

[Trapper50cal]

If you have the money for one of those, you also are rich enough to not care if it gets some trail rash.

Damned fine point.

 

[MANUCHAO]

nice rig...

 

[krzyabncanuck]

Needs round headlights.

 

[Trapper50cal]

Needs round headlights.

Agreed.

Round vs. Square

Awright, enough of this headlite hate mongering. Just 'cause some of us don't have round eyes AND require twice as many units to get the job done, I just ask that you be a little more tolerant and considerate. 62s have feelings, too.

And if all else fails, just cover up the quads with other crap - "don't upgrade, camouflage"
