I love the upgrading of these old trucks, but lowering them seems stupid. Now you can't drive them in some places, and they can't be used as trucks. Keep them at stock height.
I love the contrast of white and blue. Especially this blue. I love woven leather seat inserts. Don't even understand why it just looks clean and yet luxurious. I dig the fact that you do alternate patterns for each build. It's the subtle details that make these trucks stand out. I hadn't noticed the difference in lighting between old and new school. I do enjoy the extra facts, I guess I'm a geek for information and find myself glued to the screen when you're talking about each one. I could listen all day. Cheers.
Lovely. I’ve been watching your builds even back when you focused on Toyota Land Cruisers over on Oxnard Street. While I love the 5 speed, some of us oldsters with shot knees would love an 8 speed ZF transmission if it can bolt up to that Ford V8.
I can't stand it, unreal. I was hoping I'd be a manual, and there it is. I have a 2023 heritage, and now i don't want to look at it right now. You nailed it!
Johnathan, I don't think it can ever be said enough that your passion for all the "little stuff" makes for the absolutely fantastic and bulletproof product that you produce. Those of us who appreciate your "geek" thoroughly enjoy listening to you speak about connectors, clamps, and wiring that separate you from most builders that you can find today. You have perfected building specific vehicles that are so definitely purpose built to handle anything the timid or the brave can dish out... Thank you for your attention to detail and your perseverance. I'm hoping that one day I will be able to join the ICON family... I'm anxiously awaiting the next build...
You asked for feedback so here is mine. I am curious with the high horsepower and relatively large tires if the Dana 44 is sufficient for the abuse someone may put it through by using it offroad. Also why not a Ford 9 inch or 8.8 axle to keep the whole thing Ford based? Also what kind of gearing do you use in the axles? Although I doubt if you are spending this kind of money if you are taking it rock crawling.
This is an exceptionally beautiful build. All the colors and details really work together. I can never get over how lovely that suspension looks with the currie being the cherry on top.
Hi Jonathan, I'd love it if you spent one episode telling us about the braking system and perhaps, another episode telling us about the polyurea coating on the floor and the dynamat and then another episode with a deep dive into your thinking and the materials you use in the wiring harness.... I absolutely love your attention to detail but I'd like to find out your thoughts behind the materials and the Pros and Cons of using the materials that you use. Rolling Works Of Art that are built to be used.... But how and why? Thanks for your work, it's inspiring 😁👍
A lot goes into R&D to be able to repeat these at such high quality. We would love to expand to do those, just need the interest to fund such investment. Thx
I worked with Toyota on the FJ cruiser, but I don’t know if the latest administration at Toyota knows who I am anymore. I would’ve loved to have been involved.
Beautiful as always. This could be my absolute favorite. It's got a great look. We already know about what's behind the looks... Thank you, Jonathan...
I really dig the black on the green. Really cool with the satin wrap. Nice spec. That leather is a treat. I love the diversity of the client's choices.
You mentioned a German manufacturer of fabrics in a lot of your videos that you used to cover the center sections of the seats in many of the Toyotas and Broncos you modified - could you tell me the name in response, that would be fantastic. Huge fan of your work!
