A few years back when I was restoring my FJ40, I ran across a ridiculously designed FJ40 from a California company called ICON.
ICON founder, Jonathan Ward and his wife, Jamie started TLC4x4.com, the nations leading Land Cruiser Service center in 1996, providing parts, service and restoration services to the Land Cruiser owners like me!
Mr. Ward on his website calls ICON “…a vehicle without peers for a journey without boundaries. Classic styling, modern performance, and timeless utility.” Simply put.
Last week, I ran across an article on FoxNews.com about an ICON rebuilt Ford Bronco and man is it awesome!!
The only thing original is the body style from the first generation Bronco. According to the article, it has a completely brand new chassis, custom designed Atlas transfer case, and Dana solid axles with Eibach springs and Ford Racing shocks for suspension.
They replaced the original engine with a Ford Mustang GT 5.0L V8, with 412HP in a 4-speed automatic or a 5-speed manual transmission.
This rebuilt Bronco features disc brakes, high-tech glass used on skyscrapers, updated aluminum trim, a digital dashboard and tinted plastic sun visors from a Learjet!
Price? $150,000 for the base and up to $200,000 with options.
