EXTREME FJ Makeover: ICON Works Its Magic On A Vintage Toyota FJ — You Feelin' This Retromod?

For reasons that I cannot completely explain, vehicles like the Ford Bronco, Land Rover Defender, Toyota Land Cruiser and Toyota FJ all have staying power. These vintage, simple trucks are something special and buyers have no problem paying up for a good one.

It's one thing to have a good one that's original. It's another to have an ICON though. ICON is the company known for tricking out vintage autos and doing some amazing work. 

Think of it as Extreme Home Makeover, applied to autos.

Having said that, there's a whole lot to see here but I don't want to give it away. I'll let ICON's head honcho, Jonathan Ward, do the talking. Make sure to check out the clip in its entirety.

Once you've learned all there is to know about this revamped FJ, let us know what you think. Is it a STUD or DUD?

People like the notion of driving a vintage car, but all too often they hate the experience because the car just isn't as wonderful as a modern car. That makes me roll my eyes, but restomods drive more like people want their vintage cars to drive so there's money in them. A lot of money in them.

It is really incredible when you find out just how much ICON, Singer and others charge for their creations. Restomod as a game that starts at $200k USD for those who want to play and goes up to $1M.

Indeed it is, but the real thing is no delight to drive.
