1974 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 ICON 4x4 Restomod VIN: FJ40180671

This exceptional 1974 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 has been comprehensively reimagined by ICON 4x4 into their FJ 44 model, one of the most respected names in the world of premium vintage Toyota Land Cruiser restorations and custom 4x4 builds. Combining the timeless styling of the classic FJ40 with modern performance, precision engineering, and exceptional attention to detail, this ICON-built Land Cruiser represents a remarkable interpretation of an automotive legend.

Finished in Volcanic Black, this FJ40 features ICON's distinctive New School design, including a hand-formed 3/32-inch-thick 5052 H32 aluminum body with a fully body-prepped finish, undercoating, and black powder-coated bumpers. The exterior is complemented by a custom hardtop configuration, LED lighting upgrades, and ICON's signature combination of rugged capability and understated sophistication.

Underneath, this build features a powerful 6.2L Chevrolet LS3 V8 paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and electronic transmission control, delivering modern V8 performance and drivability while retaining the unmistakable character of the classic Land Cruiser. The drivetrain is supported by an ICON sport suspension package, Brembo sport brakes, front and rear ARB locking differentials, and ICON's carefully engineered chassis and suspension geometry.

Rolling on ICON forged 6061 aluminum wheels measuring 18 inches by 9 inches, finished in black powder coat, and wrapped in all-terrain tires, this FJ40 is designed to deliver both commanding road presence and serious off-road capability. Additional equipment includes ceramic-coated exhaust, LED fog lights, an insulated soft top, a WARN 9.5K winch with recovery gear, and AMP Research power steps.

The interior blends classic Land Cruiser character with modern convenience, featuring four bucket seats, side-facing rear jump seats, upgraded door panels, a cargo map pocket, custom ChevTex seating and floor mats, an aluminum CNC sport pedal set, and ICON's Micro-Start personal power supply. A premium Pioneer multimedia system with Focal Access speakers, SiriusXM integration, an upgraded amplifier and bass package, and a reverse camera bring contemporary technology to this vintage-inspired 4x4.

With a documented ICON build estimate totaling approximately $208,000, this is far more than a conventional vintage Toyota restoration. It is a purpose-built, professionally engineered Land Cruiser that combines classic FJ40 styling with modern V8 power, premium components, advanced suspension, and exceptional craftsmanship.

For the collector seeking an iconic vintage Toyota with the performance, refinement, and capability of a modern custom 4x4, this ICON-built 1974 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 is an extraordinary opportunity to own one of the most distinctive expressions of the classic Land Cruiser platform.
