This is a link to a company that restores ( and then some) old LC's among other things. Their Icon LC model is awesome! Check it out-

The Icon's are not restored Land Cruisers. They are totally custom built from the ground, up. They are modeled after the old FJ-40's but they are brand new - modern vehicles. That should help explain the $88,000 price tag, and why they are called Icon, and not Land Cruiser.

They are hand build order by order. With no economy of scale I can see why they cost that much. They do use existing components for the drive train but the frames and sheet metal have to be done in very low volumes and final assembly looks to be one at a time by team.

i doubt they will ever actually hit production, or be legal for sale in the us.... land rover had some company copy the d90 a few years ago... needless to say, the website for them is still up, but you cant actually find them, anywhere.....

Did you even bother to click on their website before you made all these assumptions? :rolleyes:

Borrow a copy of Toyota 4wd Owner magazine, they had a good article.

Yes, you could, but as was mentioned above, this is not an old FJ, this is a brand new FJ look alike, new frame, modern conveniences, modern engines, etc, etc.
Although it does seem poor that for that price you don't get a full cage.
