Default This would be the ultimate FJ build

I would love to do it next but not sure I have the styrene skills for it. Maybe I will buy a Lexan FJ body and see what I can do.

The truck is an ICON FJ45, basically a hand build long bed FJ truck.

DUDE!

I find that blend of "Old school" and "New school' very appealing...!

I really think you should do it.

When I was stationed on the Gulf Coast in the late 80s, there were a lot of FJs around with 350 chevy conversions, almost traded my bass boat for one. But I have always loved the FJ. This think that Toyota is calling an FJ is an affront to my eyes :-)
