This vehicle was a frame off restoration by TLC4X4 in California in 2003 and has been garagedever since. TLC4X4 is one of the largest FJ restorers in the country and creaters of the scratch built ICON FJ’s topping over $200K. These guys are the best of the best as time has proven.Restoration started with afull mechanical overhaul, see sales flyer below from earlier purchase. From every nut and bolt to every wiring harness......all Toyota spec'd. Truck only sees sunny days every week or so and has always been garaged.I have all original manuals and tool kit, warn winch bag with tools (brand new, never used), plus a soft top and bikini, as well as a matching painted tailgate for when hardtop is off. All locks are original as is all glass; this was not a parted together truck like most you find on Ebay, all VIN's match. Rims are original Toyota powder coated black with correct Toyota center caps.I have all receipts for work done and bill of sale from TLC4X4. Upgradesinclude a Tuffy console, Old Man Emu suspension, Line-X inside and under tub, TLC high back leather seats, an Alpine CD stereo as well as an ARB bumper and air lockers.A/C was professionally converted to R134a by TLC and has the high and low side quick connect ports in line as well as new hoses. Everything else is original or rebuilt. Very strong 2F engine and passed compression on all cylinders at Rochester Toyota. Recently replaced the master cylinder, battery, and washer motorlast month. Sound system is incredible and updated last year. Honestly, it's like driving a manual 4runner. Great on highway. Seriousinquiries only! This FJ is priced for a quick sale. Please, no tire kickers as I love talking FJ's and still daily drive an '86 FJ60.

I have ownedmany FJ's but this has been my favorite by far. Definitely the best and most comfortable ride. It cruises perfect, tight and straight, and comfortably at highway speeds! Climate shows these are becoming more popular in the high end auctions (Barrett-Jackson, Mecum) as they have topped over $100K in less time than predicted (2013).Pics do not do this FJ justice......it is ashowroom piece.
