Amazingly clean work... but $135k, good luck with that 
The 3.4l is a killer motor, I've been a longtime advocate of it... in Tacomas While it would scoot the FJ/Bandy around nicely, I'd personally prefer a torque inline 6 or a high output SB, such as the Toyota 4.7

Some of the trucks in TLC's shop are near that price range. Their shop is down the street from our house and when driving past the wife saw a nice restored metallic green FJ so we stopped to check it out. It was really nice but it was $95k. Needless to say, I don't own a nice metallic green FJ!

Yup, many of their Icon builds are in the low $100k's, not surprising really. The do some amazing builds, but they also market their rigs to a totally different crowd than the average Land Cruiser affecionado IMO (ie. basketball players and rap artists
). The day I see an Icon getting used I will change my mind... they are just too much money to use, they offer little advantage over a custom built $25k Land Cruiser IMO. Would I love to own one, absolutely!

You know, I don't disagree about TLC's target market. But I will say this much, you do see guys using Hummer H1's out in Moab and those aren't cheap. So while I'd reasonably expect I'll never see a TLC ICON out there, I also won't say never...cruiseroutfit said:

Your absolutely right... but there are some advantages you get with a Hummer that you don't get out of any other build... whereas with the Icon I just don't see $100k worth of increased performance versus a reasonable built FJ40. Neat rigs... but I won't be holding my breath for one to show up in Moab

You'd at least have to upgrade the rims for me to pay that price tag... a bajillion dollars dropped into the rig... and $40 on the wheels.

aaaahhhhhhahahaha... ok lets put this into perspective with their other auctions:
For the $135 they're asing for that, I could buy...
..the H1 for wheeling:

..the '61 Vette for sunday top-down crusing
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130172488548
..the Mustang GT to commute to work:

and I'd STILL have enough let to cover a years worth of gas and insurance, and approximately fifteen thousand pine rear view mirror air fresheners.
