  • ENGINES International HS 2.8L VNT
    The Icon’s all-new International 4 cylinder is designed to run on up to 100% bio-diesel or low sulfur diesel. With enhanced combustion technology, a new combustion bowl design, high pressure rotary injection pump, VCO hyrdo-grinding and two stage injectors, the 2.8 ICON engine is as robust as it is simple. Fuel economy is 22-28 MPG, while providing respectable performance and stellar reliability. The new 2.8 4 cylinder is a high pressure rotary injected intercooled turbo unit with Bosch electronics and a Garrett variable vane turbo. This engine has been used in many high volume truck applications in some of the harshest environments worldwide by GM, Ford, Land Rover and others.

  • COOLING SYSTEM Purpose-built high density core alloy radiator with polymer fan & fan clutch. Handcrafted TIG welded black wrinkle powder coated steel fan shroud.
  • EXHAUST SYSTEM 2.5” aluminized steel exhaust system with single mildly baffled muffler, MINE-X® Flow-Through Filter. The MINE-X® Flow-Through Filter is a revolutionary patent pending, flow-through diesel particulate filter that provides effective removal of diesel particulate matter and lower backpressure than conventional wall-flow particulate filters.


    Stainless steel flex-link in header pipe.

    Ceramic coating option available.
  • INTAKE SYSTEM AEM Dryflow filter.

    DRYFLOW filters have several features that make it better than cotton-gauze. The DRYFLOW is independently tested to filter up to 99.52% cumulative efficiency using SAE FINE DUST test procedures. Testing on oiled filters has shown efficiency as low as 93% (cumulative) or worse. Unlike cotton, the DRYFLOW media will never degrade with normal maintenance. It is also much more durable than cotton gauze—we put it through some severe abuse testing to prove it, and it is easier to clean.

  • TRANSFER CASE Purpose-built Atlas II transfer case is competition proven and freeway friendly, too.

    The Advance Adapter's Atlas II 3.0:1 low range (optional 5.0:1) and 1: 1 high range transfer case is CAD-CAM designed and CNC machined for off-road performance, without sacrificing on road performance. The one-piece case with structural access cover is manufactured of heat- treated aluminum alloy.

  • THE ENVIRONMENT We built the icon with the premise that the people who spend the most time in wild places have the greatest interest in preserving them. So the Icon is built with a sense of the environment and recycling responsibly. The Icon emits less harmful emissions in a day full of stop and go driving than the original Land Cruiser did idling in a parking lot. Its modern drive train design provides more than quadruple the Horse Power and double the torque of the original Cruiser while reducing emissions and increasing efficiency thanks to its intelligent gearing, modern fuel injection system, oxygen sensor circuit and sealed fuel system.

    We further reduce environmental impact by recycling an older vehicle instead of producing of a new one.

    No CFCs or VOCs are emitted in the production of the Icon.
  • OPTIONS Because each Icon is built by hand, we can assure you that no two will be exactly the same. We are pleased to be able to provide a wide range of options, including but not limited to:

    350hp to 450hp gas engines with manual or automatic transmissions .
    Computer controlled mandrel bent stainless steel exhaust system.
    Aircraft ceramic exhaust system coating. Protects the system and extends its service life, while enhancing exhaust tone.
    Machine-turned, damasked dash panel set.
    Hand tailored soft top and removable upper half doors.
    Recaro vented and heated front seats.
    Removable rear two passenger seat.
    Chilewich floor mats & seating textiles.
    Various audio packages (AM/FM/CD/IPOD/GPS/Satellite radio/amp & bass).
    Warn Winch and recovery gear.
    Powertank compressed CO2 tank system for general utility (airing up rafts, tires, tools).
    X-Jack vehicle jack for all terrains.
    5.0:1 transfer case low range gearing.
    ARB locking differentials front and rear, with air compressor.
    Halogen or LED auxiliary lighting.
