If I was going to spend that much I'd much rather build it "myself" (with a lot of help from a shop), and the goal wouldn't be a modern luxury vehicle that looks like an FJ. It would be a much more capable toy, for way less money.

Having owned and loved each of my multiple FJ40s and FJ60s, I would say that "under the right conditions" they are great, but "right conditions" are few and far between and definitely not a daily driver when compared to the utilitarian 4Runners we drive today.

They have lots of flaws, but the good ole days seem "good".

The 2F engine made like 105 HP new, so if you think your 4Runner is a dog, buy an FJ60 and drive it for a while. Your 4Runner will seem like a race car.

I sold my rust free 1986 FJ60 and bought a 2019 4Runner TRD ORP and haven't looked back.

To each their own.

I convinced myself to get a newer 5th gen for a better peace of mind. Don’t get me wrong I love rebuilt older cars, but due to work and life in general at this very moment, if I were to spend on something, it needs to be something I generally won’t have to worry about for a few more years. Maybe down the road, cause that FJ looks beautiful, but I’m happy with my mall crawling trd pro

As I eluded to earlier, I certainly would want it to be my only car, unless I were 20-something again, either

IMHO the 5g 4runner is not a great a commute daily driver, either (oddly my 3g '99 4tr was more comfortable seat-wise, especially on long commutes, better mileage too)

There are a fk-ton better DD's out there for 95% of the driving most do.

You could build a 4 car garage with a bar and kitchen and buy 2 ex-Paris to Dakar or Rally cars with racing history and have money left over.

Stick with new. It would be nerve racking to drive a restomod, let alone offroad. I hate hearing a branch sliding down the side of my truck now, let alone if it was a restored classic.
If I went the restomod route it would be an Icon K5 Blazer
