, around a campfire in Africa, why the FJ in particular, how Jonathan and Toyota helped each other with both the Icon FJ40 and the Toyota FJ Cruiser, and how Icon branched out to additional models like the TR (based on the 1947-53 Chevy pickup) and the BR (based on the 1966-75 Ford Bronco).
Jonathan gives us a virtual tour of some of Icon’s other projects, such as the Derelict, which looks like an old beater but has upgraded modern equipment and refinements that look original. He also shows off the Disruptor, a 1949 Mercury Coupe that’s being converted into a full electric “Tesla beater,” and other cars becoming or waiting to become Icon’s next creations.

Did anybody ask why it’s so hard for him to paint vehicles in attractive colors?

Or to explain his unhealthy fascination with hideous headlights.

Or dark grey, or silver. I wonder if maybe he is colorblind and that’s why he only chooses shades of grey, or very, very subdued colors when they do get color.

IMHO painting a truck a bright color would be foolish, I’m curious what color you’d like to see them painted

Oddly, I think the best color he’s used so far is also the brightest I’ve seen on his builds:
Not that it is a great color, but it’s better than the usual grey and black business. I would have mixed a little less red into it, and it would have been perfect. There are a lot of practical reasons to avoid dark colors on trucks, particularly for off road use (dirt, dents, summer heat, etc.)
