I have a colleague that has one. It is built like a tank, but really small on the inside...like the size of a 4Runner, or smaller.

Can you really pick up a tricked out Power Wagon for $100K?

My BIL is in love with those things...probably because they're awesome.

However, if I had enough $ to spend $100k on that, I'd probably already have a G Wagen. I'd also easily spend $90k on the Icon CJ3b:

I feel the same way. All Land Rovers are ugly to me, other than the Defender 90.

what makes the Icon worth that much? Looks like a Willys Jeep with a hot motor.

Nice vehicle no doubt but not hardly worth the price & upkeep. People own these strictly to "Be Seen" in. You can do a lot better for 20 grand less.....yes, a 2016 Landcruiser or Any landcruiser for that matter is the answer, not this DoucheMobile.

Depends on where you live imo. If I was located in Southern CA or Arizona. I'd probably go with an open air SUV. I'd have a hard time picking between the FJ or Bronco. But I think I'd go FJ40.

Hand built from scratch basically. I think the website is icon4x4.com.

They also make every configuration of old FJ Land Cruisers as well.

I like the FJs a lot as well, I've just always been a Jeep guy.

I feel the same way about the G Wagon. I'm in love with the Landcruiser though

Yup

That's the top of the line 4dr model with all the bells and whistles.

You can also get a custom interior from another company that is pretty awesome.

IIRC you provide the body/frame and they take it from there.

My friend has a G-Wagon. We were driving to the dome for a Saints game last year, and women were literally stopping dead in their tracks to blow kisses to whoever was in the car. It was unreal.

Come on that's a reasonable story. If I was gonna make up a G-Wagon story, I wouldn't be in someone else's car getting a second hand blown kiss from skanks outside the dome.
