ICON CJ3B aka THE DOG

[Rattler]

Icon 4x4's recent newsletter contains two new options for the CJ3B. First, the body can be fabricated from aluminum to reduce weight and increase corrosion resistance. Second, a 1.9L VW diesel engine is now an option. The 2.4L GM Ecotec gas engine that is standard equipment in the CJ3B produces about 200 lb-ft of torque. The VW diesel produces 240 lb-ft.

By the way, the newsletter says the shop has a full order book. Currently they are working on 10 Icon vehicles, plus 5 prototype vehicles inspired by the first generation Ford Bronco.

I get that too. That Bronco is kinda neat.

I think the VW TDI, in the ICON CJ3B,... is sweet!

I wish they could put a larger turbo diesel in the FJs - Like the TDI used in the Touareg - But those engines are much more complicated.


Cheers!
