TLC4x4 Restored FJ60

Ride along as I explain how we created this TLC4x4 FJ60!
icon4x4.com

[@GeneMcEntire]

Your work is truly second to none, when I win the lotto expect a call from me....

[@lewisflynn7018]

That is a neat cruiser, mate. When I'm making rich-people-money, I'm going to get you to build me a 45 series ute with the icon suspension under it, stock exterior, stock interior but with the icon instrument cluster.

[@noshitrizzo]

That is the most beautiful car I have seen in a very long time you can tell a lot of thought went into this great mixture between beauty and beast

[@thomaswelcomer8443]

Jonathan - is there a video here that explains just how you started your love-affair with Toyota??? Insure it would be an interesting story, as is ANY insight to ICON and Mr Ward!

[@SPcamert]

You should check out the video he did with the Petrolicious founder. He, Rob Dickinson, and Rod Emory talk origin stories, travel history, cars, and other things. He shared it on his channel a while back. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGfXlJJ4gpqip68

@@ICON4x4Design Bro where can I find out parts for fj60 Pls can I send you my number

[@jacemusgrove3073]

Long live the standard transmission 4x4! As usual, amazing work!

[@forevr2wheels]

Mr Jonathan, I think there’s an international scout somewhere that deserves some of your love.

[@australianmade2659]

E-mew You said it spot on!👍

[@Br1anuk]

Absolutely beautiful truck, these Land Cruiser restorations are my favourite Icon/TLC products. A credit to the owner and TLC.

[@caseyvue6086]

Surreal.

[@bigcashman]

Such a dream vehicle. I really hope you're still building these when I'm ready to buy.

[@linovieira5260]

Just perfect! What a beauty thing

[@richardmahoney9415]

I’m watching these videos like they just came out it’s 2-5 years ago and every restoration or resto mod you’ve done is still gorgeous and in style to this day

[@Vichofeo12]

What a phenomenal truck. I know who I'll be contacting once I save 100k! 😁

[@gzahnd]

$200k might get you there.

[@gersonhay984]

He never tells you the price. BECAUSE if you have to ask you can not AFFORD ..!!!!!!!!

[@abduazizalahmadi6756]

أرغب في شراء هذه السيارة، بكم التكلفة؟؟ وماهي الإجراءات؟؟

Have Toyota or Ford Corporate big wigs ever toured you facility?

[@bigoz1734]

You pronounce emu wrong. Think about like this. Not old man emoo. But eem-you

[@kingbee1971]

This is the one. My lotto winner truck. 🏆My only question: why not a Toyota V8?

[@wilsonhenry6620]

Airbags and modern safety features included??

[@arifalamri2803]

I have a Nissan Patrol I want to renew how much it will cost and where your place is

[@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen]

Beautiful job. Best car I ever had was the HJ60. Rust was a problem because we were next to the beach several months of the year but it was an amazing vehicle. Would have loved to have had the money to do it up like this.

[@felipao007i]

How much time and money was invested in this build if you compare it whit an icon fj40???

[@pennsyltuckyden9823]

Jonathan Ward and TLC trucks are way too expensive, and they sell every last one of them.

[@kadukheke5840]

Hello all series60 owner. Need your opinion here. Which 1 is the best to lift up this lc60 series. Should i keep the original leaf spring below the axle or change it to the top of axle? Im scare the car will lose stability if i put the leaf spring top of the axle.thank you

[@mbiker345]

These restorations are fantastic. The idea of doing all this to put a piece of Chevy crap into such a beautiful Toyota is heresy to say the least. Amazing job though. Would love to see a Lexus UR in one of these.

[@ShadEllis]

Johnathan, Why not use the 5.7 Toyota V8? It just seems like this Land Cruiser should have a Toyota motor.

[@robmanueb.]

He builds what his customers want. He has done some beautiful Toyota restorations with Toyota engines.

[@jenarogarcia6127]

Truth

[@arislopes1924]

I lowkey feel offended the Customer went with a GM engine I would have gone with a Toyota V8 like the 4.7 and tune it a little

[@robmeekel9198]

For all you motor heads out there there TLC used store.switchpros.com/ for the switches where the radio was. Very clean unit, nice job Jonathan on the insert bezel.

[@markrudell1933]

All of your vehicles.... magnificent. This 60 is not exception. One day you'll build one for me!

[@sandre3117]

I personally do not like Toyotas, but, without doubt Jonathan Ward, raises them to another level!

[@dronetrucker]

I have a fj60 for sale, the truck lived in Texas and new Mexico

[@sbespn3820]

So are you against the spring over axel lift then? All your builds seem to be spring under.

[@tregarthpowell9318]

One day (maybe) win the lottery and get my FJ62 totally done like this. Thanks Mr. Ward for another great video.

[@ستوديو-ق1ت]

Envoyez moi cette voiture en Algérie

[@nederlander9321]

Better than original. Top notch as usual. Someone has deep pockets.

[@forevr2wheels]

Badass! Glad to see this customer ordered this fj with a standard trans. Don’t see that to often

[@Ms2mark]

Outstanding AGAIN.

[@jailbreakoverlander]

This is beautiful as always.

[@jailbreakoverlander]

I struggled after installing my tuffy in my 80 because I really wanted to use yours, but if your using tuffy I feel better.

[@Mohammad-xn7mm]

[@hench23]

NVM. His is an 80 series

Any chance of you guys building a LandCruiser all electric? Just asking. Aloha.

[@weareallbeingwatched4602]

Scott Lee I would have thought that if a client asked for it, they could do it.

[@IdentifyAsMu]

Money talks. I guess I gotta keep my mouth shut. Aloha.

[@aldrimduramax]

Love the trucks , love the videos , thanks for sharing mr ward. Great fan of the brand and of the ideology behind the brand. Will be buying a steering wheel from you as soon as i figure out how to attach it to a dodge ram

Porn, absolute porn. Thank you so much....these are perfection. All your builds. And a joy to watch. Please always “geek” out with the details...that is why we watch!

[@dantheman9395]

Love it. What transmission is it? I can seem to notice it . That’s how I would have it done

[@nyalsewell]

Looked like the 5 speed H55, but not sure. I know Advanced Adapters has a kit to mate the LS motors to the H55

[@joeyscleaninglady2877]

Probably an AX15

Very nice restomod!

[@drewflanagan4296]

Icon is nothing but anal when it comes to details, I doubt he misspoke.

[@brandonar868]

Drew Flanagan I understand that and I can see they are very meticulous myself....but this time they did, research it you'll see

[@ZainJafar]

[@tonystone3119]

H55?

[@nyalsewell]

Looks like it.

[@usmanrai1244]

Please do a cost breakdown of this build

[@JoshPLewis]

usman rai I would love to see that too

[@IYFace]

It is my dream to own one of these heavenly touched ICON vehicles in my life. It is such an amazing transformation and to see a fully upgraded vehicle like this just pulls at my heart strings!

[@joeyscleaninglady2877]

Nice build but looks kinda weird having two sets of tail lights?

[@brandonar868]

Joeys Cleaning Lady Most Land Cruisers are like that from Factory.....

[@joeyscleaninglady2877]

No this FJ60 has a FJ40 bumper. FJ60s don't have the tail lights in the bumper the FJ40 does. Having two sets of tail lights makes it look like the griswolds station wagon

[@zigglemeister6533]

It's an aftermarket bumper, capable of taking two swingaway spare wheels, though this one has one spare and a fuel can holder. Most such bumpers will have lights in them because if you fit oversize wheels (say 35" or above) the spare wheels will obscure the factory tail lights.

[@joeyscleaninglady2877]

waa? the spare tire is already mounted as well as the jerry can. If the client was going to go this route at least replace the lens openings with high powered reverse lights. Much more useful.

[@brandonar868]

Joeys Cleaning Lady Do some research Dumbass

[@Karakullukcuoglu]

hi, whats color name, ral code ?. your car very beautiful :)

[@caseyvue6086]

Surreal.

[@ronallal468]

Amazing and impeccable. Just speechless. Thanks for these videos!

[@Got-ye1kr]

Nice work. I have a stock 62 and 80 and wish they had powerful LS engines. Im not a purist, but look what happened when the P51 Mustang went from the American Allison to the British Rolls Royce Merlin.

[@GarminPro]

I just have a problem with all these beautiful Toyota’s with GM motors. I would much prefer the 5.7 liter iForce V8 from Toyota.

[@newt3k]

As soon as Toyota offers an out of the box fully smog compliant solution... (never?)

[@lewisflynn7018]

Ward asked toyota for some help aquiring toyota engines a little while back but they had some problems building more engines than cars and interrupting their production and they turned him down. Considering he has worked directly with Toyota in the past and they still didn't want to help him out, there must be serious reasons why the couldn't do it. This might sound like a GM slut big talking their products (because I am and I do), but the LS series of engines are really good gear. Good value for money, good performance, [considerable] good fuel economy, reliable and almost bulletproof in this application and you can buy them brand new directly from the manufacturer. If you're into ICON, then you probably aren't a purist, so this compromise probably isn't bad. If you are a purist, then a basic restored Toyota is probably more your thing.

[@joeyscleaninglady2877]

was hoping for another 2.8 cummins build

[@robmanueb.]

That said Jonathon does Toyota engines for his builds, basically whatever the customer wants, in this case LS.

[@lewisflynn7018]

robmanueb2 For sure, dude. I was only trying to defend the choice of an LS engine in this platform.
