ICONTOYS will become ICON40 in coming months. Most of you know, all I recycle are the 40's.  I hope all my followers will take note, and follow my Land Cruiser restorations, collection, photographs and sales to ICON40 in the future. I will maintain and sell from ICONTOYS, but will phase out this ID in the future.

I would also like to mention that ICONTOYS/ICON40 could potentially be FOR SALE and SOLD to the right individual. For details, please contact me after the auction has concluded. This would include the shop, quality paint and body professionals and name, including quality inventory.

Please check out my Photographs of all of the great 40's I have restored and owned. A couple of different photo choices are available for $49 online here at eBay.com. The photos are super large 20X30 professional stock and on quality paper. Shipped to your door.


I have several very nice Land Cruiser's that will be sold later this spring. I do not ever bring in South American 40's (no heater or roll bar in those rigs and I see a lot of them on eBay these days ) as most have been beaten and abused and then restored to "look" otherwise. I patiently wait for the best 40's that come onto the market, here in the USA. The really nice ones are few and far between and thus the higher and higher prices. These are the best you will find anywhere.

My intention this week is to list the group for sale as a "unit" with a buy now price for all vehicles. Each are legally owned by me, they are registered and titled in my name with no liens or issues. All paperwork is complete.

Yes, I would, and will most likely sell these Land Cruisers individually.

I can help arrange transport, load, and take a photo for you of the Toyota on the transport truck.

During this auction, I will answer telephone calls only, and only after the auction has ended.

Here is a list of what you see in photographs. The last several photos are of "photographs" of 40's I have owned. They are for sale as well for $49ea. And have been "altered"

1983 BJ42 Freeborn Red 70,000 original miles, 5 speed trans, 3B Diesel engine, 29 mpg.  Complete frame-off, down to bare metal.  All body soft parts, weather stripping, nuts/bolts, emblems, window channels, floor mats, seat covers, etc are new.  Everything on the BJ42 except engine items are new.  The gas engine 70k original miles and runs like new.  OME suspension.

1983 FJ40 Beige with factory Decal kit reproduced.  AC/PS full frame-off in progress.  47,000 original miles, one of a handfull of '83's available.  Completion May 1 (photo is of another FJ40 that IS NOT the actual FJ I own.  My '83 looks exactly like this body with stock with factory oval rims).

1964 FJ45 Pickup V9 Conversion, ICON maintained and services.  Flawless in-stock Lily White/Gray.  Perfect FJ45.

1976 FJ40 Dune Beige, V8 Conversion.  4 Speed with Gear Splitter. (Better than a 5 speed).  Best hwy driving FJ40 you will ever own.  OME Suspension.

As mentioned, I will take telephone calls only, and only after the auction is complete.  Serious buyers only please.  Thank you.

I understand the hardest part of buying something as expensive as one of these "toys" over the phone or Internet is that most buyers do not know me. I will be glad to offer a few key references before you do anything. Also, a couple of emails from previous buyers below.

Thanks again for understanding that this is a marketing campaign for people who are seeking out the best of the best Toyota Land Cruisers for this up coming spring/summer.

For those of you that I have talked to and had conversations with, specifically regarding the '83 Freeborn Red Diesel. I know you are interested, and will contact you if a deposit is needed to hold the BJ.

Please phone me after auction at 406.224.8893. Thanks, and happy bidding,

 Pete


A couple of Past buyer emails:


 Dear Peter, The Fj40 arrived last Wednesday night and was more than promised! I am delighted, it' a step back in a time capsule to the year before I got married. I really have to admit, I had some trepidation to invest what I did and then wire a large amount of money to a bank account in Montana, sight unseen, but all my fears were unnecessary, because all was carried out as promised by you. You were honest and professional, and I feel like I now have a "friend" in Montana! I also appreciated the way you followed up after the sale with me to make sure you answered any questions and that I was satisfied. I am glad to give you a strong and well deserved recommendation. All the best, Jose P.



I just wanted to thank you for all the work you put into getting me my FJ40 on time.  I can honestly say that, at the beginning of the process, I was a little nervous making such a large purchase over the Internet and through phone calls.  In the end, it turned out great and I love my new truck.  I really appreciate all of the communication through the build; the email, the phone calls and the pictures.  It not only made things easy to schedule, it gave me a real sense for the quality you build into your restorations.  I am also impressed with all of the documentation you provided in that it made crossing the border and registering the vehicle hassle free; well, as hassle free as that process can get.  Please feel free to use me as a reference for future clients.  


The last 7 photographs are "photographs for sale" not the rigs....they now belong to new owners.

Carmakers, NHTSA to unveil auto-emergency braking agreement tomorrow

Wed, Mar 16 2016

Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve. Tomorrow, there will be green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and automatic emergency braking for all. Weird combo, we know. But on St. Patty's we can expect an official announcement from a pact of automakers making auto-braking systems standard equipment by 2022. That's per a report from Reuters, which cites three sources familiar with the plans. Originally announced in September 2015 by 10 automakers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agreement is expected to be even larger when the details are unveiled tomorrow. According to Reuters, the manufacturers of 99 percent of the US domestic market's vehicles will be represented by the new agreement. It's believed that standard AEB systems could prevent thousands of accidents across the country. Expect more on the official announcement when it's made. Related Video:

Legal approach in $1.2 billion Toyota settlement could impact handling of GM recall cases

Wed, 26 Mar 2014

In the past, if an automaker did something wrong, they were usually prosecuted by the US government through something called the TREAD Act. Short for Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation Act, it basically requires automakers to report recalls in other countries, along with any and all serious injuries or deaths, to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Failing to report or attempting to conceal anything when there's been a death or serious injury constitutes a criminal liability. The idea is that this setup puts the onus on manufacturers to keep NHTSA apprised of safety related issues before they become a problem in the US, thereby allowing the regulator to better protect consumers.
In theory, it sounds like a relatively airtight set of rules for dealing with misbehaving automakers. That didn't stop the US Department of Justice from ignoring TREAD in its prosecution of Toyota's handling of the unintended acceleration recall, though. The result of this new approach, which charged Toyota with wire fraud, was a $1.2 billion settlement. Now, the wire-fraud approach could be used for the expected case between the US government and General Motors, based on the statements of Attorney General Eric Holder, who specifically mentioned "similarly situated companies" when discussing Toyota.
