- Check out this col custom 1996 FZJ80 we just finished for a client at www.tlc4x4.com . It came out great! What do you think of the new video format?
Absolutely my favourite iteration of the Land Cruiser - modern but still with a retro feel. This is gorgeously done JW.
My husband had a stage 3 restoration done to his 80 Series, last year... I own a 2019 4Runner TRD Off Road, but we both prefer the 80 for our overlanding.. It has solid axle front ant rear, so articulates like a sick giraffe's neck (lol I got that from another channel).. She is our remote touring rig and even has a long range fuel tank.... We live in Northern British Columbia (the last frontier), so we need good solid 4x4 just to get milk at the store lol.
Beautiful work, as usual, Jonathan, all except a GM engine in a Toyota...Eeek.. That does look easy to work on though.. However, I drive Toyota's for that Toyota reliability!
Edit: I just did some Googling about the engine and it is reviewed as reliable, overall.. Maybe I am just a stubborn Toyot purist lol
I spoke with this man about doing something similar to a 4runner. He was straight with me. Told me it wouldn't be easy. Guy builds $100,000 cars and had the time to talk with me about a good replacement option. The quality of their product is obviously there. Apparently customer service is just as good.
My new absolute dream truck. Nice job, Jonathan / TLC.
Wayne Wiersma prety fucking Agree
Too bad he ruined it with that unreliable gm garbage under the hood.
Levi Rueckert seriously
A 5.7 L Toy V8 would be awesome in this bad boy
Sweet FJ80 this format is amazing, but I'm always looking for the locker switch everytime LOL!
I am always amazed by vehicle restorations done by Americans. They spare no expense and produce perfect machines. We love these types of cars in Australia but you will never find this much expense or care go into one. Once they are old and broken they get scrapped, end of story. I guess this kind of work is too expensive here, but I'm glad you guys can do it and honour the fantastic engineers that made some of the best cars in history.
Just finished my 98 Tacoma restoration and picked up my first 80 series collector edition. All California driven & garaged by previous owner, zero rust paints excellent.
Your videos inspire me, thanks
LIke the new format.. Especially the drone shots. Inspiration for my stock 1996 TLC. Thanks.
Another beautiful 80series! Absolutely love these rigs! Keep up the amazing work!
love the work you do.... I was in the Peace Corps in Paraguay between 94 and 96. The Landcruiser was the preferred vehicle for the big shot coordinators and diplomats. 4 runners for the lower echelon. Lots of good memories in those. Nothing like this beast though.
agreed, I used these on gas pipeline work in the north-west of West Australia and would gladly have one as a daily driver and off-road vehicle.
Another spectacular vehicle... Better than new...
Those back seats look waaayyyyy much better and comfy than the bench type original seating! wonderful work!
If your cup o tea, a perfect example to aspire to. Nice work Jonathan
Thank you... You'll be the first person I call when I got the lotto!
I don't believe you lol
can you imagine THIS being your job? hanging out with these guys and building these dope rides???
Love the new format Jonathan
WOW WOW WOW. Fantastic build!
Wow!! Icon is top notch. Love the attention to detail.
That's the most beautiful truck I've seen in a long time! Thank you for sharing!
80 Series has got to be one of the best Toyota ever mad. Those things are worshiped here in Aussie.
Really terrific restoration of the Toyota!! I'm nuts about engineering and longevity. Currently with 3 rd gen Tacoma Double Cab looking to do upgrades. Thankyou.
Here in the Philippines land cruiser is the most expensive suv. Awesome beast
You did a good job I am still a big fan of the Toyota straight 6 though when I worked for Lexus it was the only truck that never came in for engine warranty that drivetrain is Bulletproof if you maintain it
This looks better than half of the so called SUVs out today...y'all did that!
Thats good to know! I should have known that you had this covered. I respect the fact that you are always striving to improve all that you do. Keep up the good work sir!!!
Everything you touch turns to masterpiece.
Jonathan Ward, great work as always. love the brands, love the design!
Really nice truck, as usual, and I like this new "format". If possible, keep it. Thanks
Definitely dig the new format!
Mr Ward!, I absolutely LOOOOoOvVVvVeeEeEee everything you build and have been following you religiously for long time because I WILL be one of your client one day...
I felt the urge to write this comment because #1, I know you read them and take all of your subscribers seriously (except for the haters) and #2, when I order a truck from you in the future, I don't want the ugly/plain/cheap looking exhaust tip on mine and hopefully you have improved this part of your masterpiece. Please weld on a nice size custom looking exhaust tips on all of your trucks, including other model FJs and BRs.
Thank you in advance!!!
We need this level of restomod company in Australia.
What a beast , an absolute beauty, garage it for collection for a millennium
Imagine replacing a Toyota engine with a General Motors one
Should’ve chucked a V6 TDI in it
Should have used the factory 4.2 TDI
The ls3 is a much better motor and very sought after in the 80 series community. I have 2 80 series and am swapping to the gm 6.0L v8 and the 4l80 transmission. It makes them faster and lighter, able to tow more and better mpg. It will last as long or almost as long as the straight 6
@@mdf7697 A uz would cost as much as an ls, make less power and probably get worse mpg. I know you're right, but it's always nice to see manufacturer matched swaps, like building your own performance model.
Honestly, it's the only thing I find off putting about Icon builds.
Fantastic unlimited cost build . Thank you.
New format very good -- a pleasant change. Keep it up (as weather permits).
Such an amazing truck I can only hope mine will look half this clean one day. Just needs lockers and less smashable exhaust
Absolutely beautiful in every detail
Great product! As always, I look forward to your videos, TLC and Icon4x4.
Great truck and great video. Very good production values.
Great seeing the face to the voice after all these years. Another beautiful cruiser made better then stock. I can't ask how much a stage 3 is because I know I can't afford it. But it would definitely be worth every penny to me. Someday I will make it happen. thanks for doing what you do. 👍
Rockin' work my man! I've been a Vehicle Builder since starting my Apprenticeship in 1994 (mostly building 6x6 Chassis's and custom Bodyworks), and I haven't seen such exquisite work in over 20 years. I absolutely love it, especially the 80 series ya did for Joe Rogan. Awesome rigs! I'm off to check ya website for more.
This is my dream Land Cruiser!
When I grow up, I want to be like this guy. 😆
Love that two tone leather interior. I definitely want to bring my 80s series too you guys after the 6bt conversion.
This was definetly different mr ward. I will say I miss the ride along. Get to here more engine and exhaust notes. All the moving shots if parts working up and down. You get my drift. BUT if safety is a big concern hey man you do what ya gotta do. A shame housing is creeping in on your lovely space! Warm regards. Joe in Ga
Man! You guys are artists.
Love it. Beautiful workmanship.
I like this style of video.
This vehicle is so manly. And I love it.
One day, when I grow up, I'll have a resto done for my Gen 2.5 Montero.
We've reached a point in time where we can consider a '96, a restomod...
lolol
greg h
you know you're getting old when you laugh when you hear "back in the day" and they're referring to the 90's
You can get classic car insurance for early 2000s minivans now ...
If there's ever been a $100,000 FZJ80, this is it!
I'm surprised to see no cup holders. Toyota did not put any in the 80s, except a shot glass holder on the driver side of the console. My biggest complaint of both of my 80s....except when I only want to do one shot at a time....
Crybaby, if you have an old school Toyota truck you stick your beer between your legs and try not to spill any. I had a 1987 and cup holders were nonexistent.
@@samadrid6321 yep. I've had 10 trucks and Cruisers, starting with an '85 pickup. All of them have been offroad. Current Taco has 13 cupholders, so you can carry 1 water, along with your 12pack. I just don't do the newer models.
That's almost a brand new!! great job!
Someone please send him a 3rd gen 4runner, would love to see the tlc treatment there. keep up the good work!
Love what Jonathan does!
so stealth and so perfect. nice work!
Digging your work as always. Thanks for sharing!
Great truck. Love the roof rack
Damn, somebody must of loved Land Cruisers/80 series so much they spent the cash on this. 99.999999999% of people on the road wouldn't know what this is and how much work went into it.
Yeah, that's kid of the point, I think... I would do it just for the sleeper value :-)
I think you hipster Ed the hell out of an icon, golf clap please what the hell do u care as long as your making a buck. Take it to your McMansion and it’s temp controlled garage. Sellout
love it! yet another excellent resto job by you guys. I will be calling you sometime in the next couple years to do one for me.
My dream offroad truck👍
Initial D but Takumi has to deliver tofu to Africa...
😂
Wow... This is Magnificent! Bravo....
totally sick. i called you once a long time ago about my 97 after seeing the FJ you did for someone in Lubbock, TX (green and DOPE). obviously never did it, but some day....
what a clean cruiser
Beautiful! As soon as I win that lotto I'll be ordering one up!!!🤣
Hi Jonathan,Love the Cruiser
As usual, great attention to detail. Love the LS3 transplant. It's got power and looks amazing.
Oh and sweet truck! I would love to hammer the throttle in one someday!
BEAUTIFUL!! Only way the majority of the world could have something so nice is to win the lottery (120k, ouch)
So much want....!!! The last rig I would ever have to buy.
Hola! Muy lindos vídeos! Sigan a si!! Hermoso trabajo! Tengo una hilux srv 4x4 dc 2003, Ojalá pueda ir haciéndole cosas como ustedes! Saludos desde Argentina
amazing truck!! would love to own one like this!!!
Lovely.
Another Awesome Ride!
very good job
digging that watch band
Holy ass! That is a very sexy truck and the LS3 is my favorite! 👍👍
Very nice tlc good job
well done as usual!
Don't knock McMansion owners. They are the ones who can afford Icons!
Same as my 97 LX only very, very different...well and more swell.
excellent truck!
I love my 4.5
Great machine!! Shouldn't the white letters of the goodrich be visible on the exterior of the wheel? Cheers!
Sweet truck!
I really enjoy the videos you are making!
As a long time 80 series owner, I am so happy someone is taking the great car that it is, and modernizing it!
two questions:
Steering: I am sure you revealed what kind of steering box you use on the 80 in one of the videos, but could you please repeat what brand you use?
Body: If you do find rust (liko so many of us living in the salt infested parts of the world do) Do you simly replace all panels, or do you repair. What parts do you use? My dealer is not able to help me with anything.
Thank you again for your hard work!
Do you find the slotted and drilled rotors ever catch rocks or have other off-road issues in your experience?
James M slotted are ok, but avoid drilled unless racing a car. More prone to crack propagation from the holes, and they just fill with crud and bake hard.
So beautiful!
cool chevy
Tastefully done bravo
So, so much nicer than stock. I've got a '95 FZJ80. Out of curiosity, how much does this kind of rig cost?
6 figures
Not less than 300k ...
Nice truck great job.just dont like the 2 tone black would have preferred an all white truck.top class work.
I prefer seeing you drive the thing.
NICE RIG!
I need that TLC!
Love it, Jonathan... do you all do any 100 series?
you're the f****** man this is amazing.
I'm just gonna keep nagging for a shop tour video. Vote this comment up if you agree...
Oh the things you can do with money. Sure wish I had more of it sometimes.
