daily fix appears every weekday exclusively on motor trend on demand see a new episode every week day with a 30-day free trial at motor trend on demand . com that's my girlfriend's least favorite thing about cars when they don't pull out this episode of just showed up we have an icon fj40 for and also the
mastermind that mine with idiot behind i don't know jonathan worked out a ward from icon and this fj 44 is one of like many different types of vehicles you make if you have already seen the shop you haven't seen the shop walk around go watch that now and then come back to this and you'll see what makes it special right now we're going to take a
look at like all the amazing little details that go into making like a truck like this so flipping cool yeah these are fun i like this finish to so this is probably the most popular model that ok line you have a 44 so it's a six-passenger four-door long-wheelbase toi i never made a four-door fj40 went to the fj45 wagon and 55 but none of
them ever had like the dna of the 40 so i always thought well why not so i rendered it one day and then on-the-fly had a client many years ago was like i can't do it my wife i'll let me have it had four doors it could seat six and my wife could get rid of me and the kids on the weekend she became so like right then and there while the
dudes on the phone i'm like email in the render like what we could we could call this he went for it so i lost money on that by doubling down ya doing the engineering to support it and then that became the impetus behind the new model now let's start our dominant after and all these you say you want to recapture the sort of the vintage appeal that we
wanted to keep it true to the original silhouette in shape and most certainly true to the attila terry and purposeful roots yeah so we like to say i mean there shouldn't have nothing should be superfluous are there just to look groovy and not have function or not to improve upon an original trait of the
truck but then like definitely eaten it has in pretty obvious more like in just real mad modder normals darpa funk to it yeah so we wanted to make it our own but be loyal to the roots absolutely what motors in this this one's running a ls7 okay well run different very easy but in this case
that's what we're running can we see it sure and then you'll notice right away people like this loan and almost it's good for took into because it's a truck we want the aluminum block and heads and sexy internals from the ls but the intake design from the vortex yeah more appropriate for the torque curve that we target out of it in this application so
we work like with valon to develop our own roto-molded intakes we have a proper enclosed filter drain for river crossings stock intake injectors from the truck app and an ls there down that's going to maintain the dry sump honor keep it dry so now we go wet side there's no point yeah and then aluminum radiator me by griffin down the
carolinas we will notice that aluminum reservoir and the press because the outlets to twin-stick t-case at freeway speeds has a habit of aerating the oil yeah so you end up with a barking situation so this brings it through and fittings to a high point so it basically is a high point for either resident and then it goes that's also teeth into the
differentials for high . breather and then like you know we try and use all like aeroquip plumbing and no compression fittings so you can see some of them going on 30 yeah lots of eric wedd and a lot of good dash fittings all stainless on system plumbing yeah i'm steering columns a collapsible
tilt why i did it welcomes these headlights are certainly polarizing so there an option yeah but they're a milspec light it's funny on paper i you'll not find a light with crappier reviews like all the lighting geek youtubers just beating the piss out of this light with the lumen meters
those that all i know is i've driven every led headlight known to mankind it's the best working light i've really didn't tell me with aluminum don't really give a damn yeah it works great it's not blotchy i love it look as polarizing so really we still offer the truck light standard which is a more conventional looking at
leedy but i am a big geek for diode so so our interior lighting every light everywhere in the truck is all diet that's cool when you start with like when the truck comes in you're basically telling the whole thing apart yeah it's complete down to frame and frames custom guess so will will enhance the chassis by working with art
morrison to get is out of horse and buggy ecliptic leaf springs into the coilover and we partner with fox racing on that yeah you can see this one actually has the brand new fox dual rate adjustable nitrogen charged with the remotes yeah and there's the large body but what's cool about those guys because you so
many military jobs in the old days it was like stick to the menu son you don't turn up volume yeah we had like use this and recharge it that way make it work fox let's keep gap yeah so we pick out i'm not a fan of steel braided it's like a sixties seventies cool but it sucks to work with the poacher and curro's it
didn't really work that great yeah so the new aerospace stuff those kickass what is it and i forget the name of it that is super super stout yeah super durable and then we can specify the valving internally is built exactly for us by fox and tested on their track in i rolled the truck and that testing that
this time and then the pleading finish and everything is specific to what we want to really stoked about that i think what's really cool about a lot of stuff is how you like embrace new technology this is where it makes huge improvement yeah you know it's like there's nothing here the carburetor right cool i hate carpet also like getting out of
automotive yeah so like our resourcing from skyscrapers aerospace marine rail car sports equipment to record to mean really no prejudice there just i'm that geek will be like oh what's that you know yeah but i'll be and i've been in an elevator yeah in chicago's in this fancy office building going for some interview and so that's a really cool
surface like this brushed stainless yeah on the internet so after my interview i went and found the building manager who helped me find who makes that and that became the the inspiration exact same product that we buy and laser cutting used for the interior details on the bronco and i it's just more fun that way you find the cool stuff that we let's
take a look at back in the back and see the the way down the so you had to add the four doors yet to extend this planet so how do you do that with the body well we build the body from scratch henry using structural elements of the body for the firewall and yet abrasive bucket so it's actually easy i mean i just took the cad file
i mean easy because you're already at the yeah you already at this deep in a pond yeah so you take the file here yeah play it move it all back to hear they figure out what looks right here yeah that easy right now try it at home okay i want don't even like computer-aided design yeah talk about reverse engineering
capabilities low volume manufacturing resources computer-aided design in complexity capability drastic increases any of drastic decreases in cost ya so like autodesk's new fusion 360 you can use that one program for ideation real emulation load test daily and it doesn't even now export to another software assumptions are made yes
getting like into mastercam to tell the c&c what to do or the 3d printer it's all within that one programs really cool and hobbyists at home it's it's free it really so the barriers rewrapping which makes no sense to me why you have bertone a and figuring all the classic coachbuilder one-off big story companies they're all gone
yeah it's all closed shop in the last couple years or they're like some division of some big yeah but they don't really do it yet asinine because it's a perfect storm of resources why is nobody else's capabilities are expanding maybe you shouldn't be holding yeah everybody's socks it's hard it's stupid it's
impossible why would you ever do this so what we like is you really any we showed some of the attachment points back here but like you go in to the gritty detail on just like them the smallest stuff yeah we blended oh you in making you european nato source ya kin so its fuel rated and its light and it doesn't rattle and it's better
than the old metal ones the reverse light is absolutely blind dates it was crazy great is that legal yeah like that because it comes on automatically with reverse have i was if you want to get really litigious the toggle switch under dad okay yeah right up the hair follicles of the tailgater might not be legal but no one's got a
horse purely hypothetical yeah hypothetical toggle switch under the dash the textiles i we used mercedes oem vinyl for the final that's repairable yeah these are cool electronically triggered yeah so it's the amp research powerstep okay so they're made in detroit that we have any yes their tech but they're functional their enable
absolutely made perfect sense yeah that's really the text on the middle of deceit that's also used on the removable flooring like the flooring is three layers so it's rubber back for it fit too well i can't get it up it's literally like to taylor here we go to have a rubber back bottom yeah then you have dynamat you know for
sound editing then you have the chili which on the top deck yeah this chili which again i discovered wynn hotel and then i was in museum of modern art in new york's outside patio friend yet so this material again got me thinking constant uv abuse yeah yeah probably is a really high dry rub rating yeah us-made designing new york made in
the carolinas yeah reach out to the companies like no we're going to automotive come on be cool not so then friend of mine runs design within reach and they sell it for like fancy place mats and and carpet runners or whatever like hallway rugs well they had some blemish ones that get screwed up and transit like look me up
so we literally taken a razor and deconstructing repurposing the techstop then eventually that companies saw the done product in some media is i think they're like hey we should work together like don't say you're your desk dwellers told me to piss off to go away so now it's cool now if i directional do weaves for us and like the tech rating of that
is six times what modern car companies daily acceptable wear rate and then use sit down in the summer with short sonia you're not cooking the back your legs and then the carbon fiber heaters in the seat breathe that much quicker through it because the weave yeah and it's just it's out of the box but it's purely logical once you go beyond the bubble of
traditional automotive suppliers you find this whole new world we have what happened to help and it's weird that again nobody does this but i don't yeah don't i think it's because it large our industry is all about targeting price . so the especially in the big volume world with the scale yeah it's all about scale and per unit
as cheap as possible that will be acceptable yes vs. in the old days it was industrial arts driven yes if we're building it let's make it have a personality reflect the personality of the singular vision of one dude that they had the balls to a point all the designer peppa and they built it to be
the best it could be the last as long as possible there's the corruption has become it's bad business for the last long as yeah if it lasts within like a week of the lease perfect warranty perfectly i'm going to come back and buy another one also we saved money on making it right i mean there's a minimum viable product
and then there's this yeah if so i'm stoked about that they do do that yeah boys yeah because it allows all the shops like mine to exist yeah something killer let's take a seat inside because we only got a shot from the tech that we keep talking about a seat this is either an enjoyable geek out
moment or something that will be thrown away on the editing floor if it's a good glimpse into the my sick brain yes center consoles uh-huh there's a us company been making steel aftermarket consoles for many years yeah they're good product i reach out to them to hey guys have some ideas to evolve the center console
like want to be cool if it had interior lighting would be cool if they could fit double din stereo made within the last 20 years yeah because we got into car playing reverse cameras and blue general that would be cool if the lock was actually flush so you're not hitting your elbow on it would be cool if that boom was it dance closed-cell marine
rated film so after a year it doesn't look like saggy underpants it doesn't absorb water like a sponge gonna be cool if the cup holders were removals he actually clean them and they weren't metal rims their rattle when cooled you can integrate a pen holder because it was looking for a pen to be right there at hand
would it be cool if the audio compartment had its own sub security door so if you don't need the audio you can keep it dry and hide it no one's going to steal it and hey you know what why not make the lid so it is a gas shocks and hold itself up so you're not going to do all this crap no one else is complaining why should we do
there you go so here i am i am now a center console manufactured so we kicked out and now we make these are cells i gotta say we read a land because we kind of have to figure out how to get remotely even on the odds the way the end of stainless that's like shakes the whole yeah okay it's the whole drawn that is that is and everything down in
the latch tell us source its standard steel then powder-coated no corrosion and intelligently made so there's very limited number of pieces going together but all tix you don't see joinery and like that as a magnet i hate rattles yeah so that we come that is a clapping around that's neat because it hides this double
din stereo yeah so if you don't want to eat it yes yeah yeah otherwise it also keeps it is like a sub-module because again my thinking is decay deol so this head unit is worthless in two years yeah absolutely so i don't want some big cut out in the dash you're married to so instead i'll put a analog clock there
that is what it is and it ain't changing so it lives on but this is a sub-module just like my power train so the powertrain is electrically connected and communicated through its own vulcan ok so the ideas when that engine is no longer relevant or we have some new highfalutin sexy tech this thing pulling out as a module pull that out yet the
value of the platform and the integrity doesn't change party on computer that's really cool because something like this and like this head unit would just automatically gate itself and you if you're right here your clients have me do apple products like ipads and apps yeah well that's great this year
guess what in a year you've got an outdated ipad and factory gotta change the ground actor is going to change exactly it's all going to be different so why automatically yourself these switches so light swiper fan event and temp okay and then that's a cool i'm a funky everything that's so this font is a modified version and neuropil which
then i designed into the clock the gearshift to actions and the new gauges this is all cnc aluminum that's then powdered these are extruded aluminum not the plastic wrapper was running the ac vents this is i stole that from tesla if that works really good sexy and then these come from learjet whoa whoa there unnecessarily cool multiple axis of
adjustment with c&c so they do the full wrap like nothing killing getting a modern car yeah and you go to rotate to the side and he doesn't want it doesn't pull out and they don't come back when the sun moves allow the sun moves drives me batshit it's it's my girlfriend's least favorite
out that's just it's i use a sign is a sign that someone didn't get us a rat 7 cents sake no password on so they don't see in seed panels because when you're muddy they have utility better than the rubber also call audio speakers so high-end but hidden ok then they always get this series tag so we number which number icon fk it is that done by the
same company does these that has been doing like military aluminum construction plate since the korean war same process super low tech the groovy so this is number 103 wow and then the legal beagle starts there so this started as a dilapidated 1973 fj40 wow and you know the broncos were super angle and picky about the truck we start
with could i use the original body yeah with these i'm super picky but in a different regard look for the rockiest possible fg i want fg is that are at the end of their deemed usable life cycle yet that from a stock restoration approach is nothing left to work i feel better about that you feel guilty now game on dude everyone this whole top of
course comes off yes sides rolling scroll with ease it's all bentley 10x naps nike ykk marine acrylics this is all mercedes hearts canvas y'all think it is so that's a no bottom so we receives with the old to epscs if they realized that car that anticipated the reality that was selling cold weather
environment when people are complaining so they figured out a jute entertainment so it's a three-ply canvas then heat the water type jute then another three flight campus makes such a difference that's crazy we lose money on each soft really have to be hand-tailored on each truck just in materials five grand like on the role in
the box before we put anything together that's ok but its its key you know it's a way the vehicle feel exactly i mean if you're going to take the time anything else like these latches here which we already talked about which i have to a good you all the way that latch it that is this is the problem i'd be sitting here doing a problem that is that feels
real good stock of all the automotive aftermarket segments that have been completely whored out yeah really beyond that like not even possible to use yeah anything so it's all china big corporate on and they're maximizing their business model not the product absolutely well next like let's take this first let's do it yes and i can see that on
another episode about the fj40 . cool see you then sounds good good here's what you missed last week on daily fix exclusively on motor trend on demand we have an icon fj40 for this loan analyst good work into because it's a truck yet i'm going to have some ice
cream we have here a 20-16 mazda mx-5 miata so here we have one unit of benson on carlos lago and if you didn't watch last week's daily fix you should do that now its exclusive on motor trend on demand if you need more daily fix go sign up for a free 30-day trial right now we put up new episodes every weekday
