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 40 is awesome. I really like the color as well.

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?
