Side note - I seriously fell in love with Christie Brinkley when I first saw this video. She still looks amazing 28 years later... :bluejump:

She has aged very well.

I doubt that. that link you shows shows all of their builds having links. The one on the ebay has nice rusty leafs

 

[Jungoes]

Nicely done

these FJ's are used as Taxi's in a village called Paramin in Trinidad, very steep hills with lots of switchbacks, Most of the long wheel based ones are used as well. I've seen way too many of these parked up under trees, and left to rot back in Trinidad :/

Don't get me wrong, its awesome however If you ask me it's overpriced. I can see light surface rust on the brake fluid res. and the leaf springs. For $120k you're paying for the "ICON" Badge

 

[the great him]

no for that price you paying for billy joels icon land cruiser. icons sell for around $40-60k depending on the model and how they are outfitted. they are all total frame off restorations/builds with new/upgraded parts through out. a friend of mine has one in CA, its a nice rig and yes i think they are probably worth their asking price for the right person who wants a nice FJ 40(or in his case 45) but $100+k yeah no thanks. if i had the money i might consider buying one just to have it but yeah i would have a lot of other cars/rigs before one of those.

100k dropped on a FJ40...I can't imagine what it wouldn't have. Actually If I had 100k to drop only on a FJ-40 I would restore it back to original and just add a lift, wheels and tires. I'm a fan of factory

The rust is in true Toyota form! That must've been one of the OEM touches.

:lmao:

But seriously, I can think of a million other ways to spend $100k. Not to say that FJ40's aren't cool though.

****ty body work to add

What good is it? (except to say you own it) At least with a classic car or hot rod you can go fast or smoke the tires now and then. You certainly wouldn't take that FJ40 off road.

 

[jrm]

I remember my friends and i

Actually that price is less than what you would pay from ICON.

Direct from their website

Is the ICON cheap?
No. The ICON is hand built to industrial standards long ago abandoned by the mass market high volume focused vehicle manufacturers. In the tradition of hand built motor vehicles such as the Bentley Mulliner, Facel Vega, Pegaso and many more, it is rolling art. Built to last decades, no short cuts, highest quality components and design simplicity. Pricing for the CJ series starts at $78,000. FJ series starts around $116,000.

Rich people do take those off road and if I was in that tax bracket to afford a $100k vehicle as a secondary vehicle I'd drive it off road for sure since I'm sure I'd have plenty of other cars in the garage for show.

Awesome. That pool scene will always rank up there with the Phoebe Cates scene. It's pretty amazing, but probably my two biggest childhood crushes are both still gorgeous today. C. Brinkley and Kathy Ireland.

Actually three. I fell in love with Jennifer Connely when I saw Labyrinth. :
