Los Angeles-based four-wheel drive expert Icon has now crafted a special “Old School Edition” of its rugged FJ44.
Using a 1972 Land Cruiser as its basis, the new edition gives the off-roader a massive power upgrade, now carrying a 6.2-liter V8 from GM that can push out a whopping 430 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque via an Alsin Warner AX15 five-speed manual transmission and Atlas II two-speed transfer case. The company also couples Dynatrac Dana 60 rear and front axles with a Fox Racing coil-over suspension, sitting above hydroboost-assisted Brembo Sport brakes, the company’s own forged aluminum wheels, and all-terrain tires from BF Goodrich.
