TLC Icon FJ-40
A buddy of mine sent me this article on
GearCrave | The Mens Buying and Lifestyle Guide about the TLC Icon FJ-40
I'm always impressed by the TLC Icon's

Re: TLC Icon FJ-40
The vehicle looks pretty impressive with the selection of a 400+hp motor or a bio fuel option that's good for 25-30mpg. The price from $90,000 ($170,000 w/ trailer) is not so welcoming.

Re: TLC Icon FJ-40
That is a sweet rig, I see TLC driving one every other day. Can't see it worth 90k though. Maybe 50-60k.

Re: TLC Icon FJ-40
Yeah for 90 g's I'd build one from scratch and have about 60 g's left over for gas. They do make beautiful rigs though.

Re: TLC Icon FJ-40
I agree it's too much, that's why I have a 65 FJ-40
TLC does have a great attention to detail and what they build out is fairly impressive. I was just amazed to see a site mention them.

Re: TLC Icon FJ-40
They could give me one in a diesel format and I wouldn't complain.
Any color is fine as well.
Good work, nice looking trucks. I heard their FJ Cruiser with all the bells and whistles is a nice rig as well!

Re: TLC Icon FJ-40
What an awesome rig, don't have that kind of cash or I would probably own one. I haven't seen their FJ Cruiser is it on their web site?
