ICON New School FJ40

[@Ch-ui6mw]

Nice job. I'm SO happy to see a manual transmission used in this one!

[@sadubone]

I love that color. Really cool. Good laugh watching the exhaust spit moisture on the camera at the end. Not even sure why I thought it was funny. 'You're too close!'

Beautiful as always, its "State of the Art"

I saw this fj40 on the road the other day on hwy 101/170 I believe, super nice

[@swilliams2575]

I really hope there is a future video on the Chevy pick-up shown at 1:45! Thanks for sharing your creations.

[@henkka8517]

Nice one as always! Would really like more photos/videos of original condition and progress.

[@bigern8143]

Awesome job. I would like to see how the carpets and flooring coverings are made. I know it's a small detail but man are they nice!

[@robmoore9741]

Second! Would love to see some get stitched!

[@seanrupe9767]

I'm now on my third FJ40 and needless to say won't be letting this one go. I love your channel and to find others that have the same passion for this awesome truck. I have some questions and pictures of my current project I'd like to share with you. Things that wont' likely it in a comment section on your KZbin account. I will follow up with an email and thanks again for the work channel!! Sean

All that work, only to put a Dana 44 in the front. She's a beautiful project

[@stevesperling1489]

Is there a problem with it having a Dana 44?

[@jakeofallterrains9048]

It's weaker than the 9.5 Toyota front that would've been in the OEM configuration. Dana 60 to match the rear would be neat, but there are aftermarket axle manufacturers producing axles based on Toyota differentials as well so the Jeep parts seem strange.

Haint Blue!

Hi, your car is very nice. I live in Vietnam, I have a 1974 bj40 with a tarpaulin roof, now the canvas of my car is broken I want to buy a tarpaulin like yours to return to Vietnam to sew new. can you recommend me an address where i can buy it. Thank you😊

[@masonrm]

Are your front and rear bumpers made in house or supplied from another manufacturer?

[@ctcv-to8kq]

I love checking out these ICON videos but every time I ask myself "At what point does this become an FJ40 in name only"?

I've always wondered as particular as Jonathan is, just how well these drivetrains can ride and handle, they look like they would still be like a truck I find it impossible to make them handle and ride well but knowing John I'm sure he's found somewhere around it

[@ICON4x4Design]

Well, always will be a solid axle short wheelbase vehicle… but our coil over suspension with tunable sway bars is a significant evolution beyond stock. Night and day

[@ec6933]

@@ICON4x4Design I'm LITERALLY watching it again right now!!! I've ALWAYS wanted to ride in one JUST to see how good you can make one!

[@ec6933]

@@ICON4x4Design I wish it was possible to experience through video SO bad! Not to mention putting a big V8 in the front!

[@Jack-ne8vm]

3:00 Reverse on transfer case? Show suspension flexibility/twist? IMO I like automatic trans for 4wd...

[@rbhillner]

Jonathan, do you ever rebuild Jeep Wranglers?

[@thecolelaurain]

Did I spot a Spirted Man hoodie?
