Today I sit down with the King of the 4x4 world Mr Jonathan Ward owner of Icon.

Jonathan builds the most insane Trucks and Cars I have ever seen.

Jonathan's first career was in the acting game. This man worked on Broadway then moved to California for TV and Film work. 

After years of success he realized he wasn't happy in the acting world and decided to leave it all behind for his true passion restoring Toyota Land Cruiser's and Ford Bronco's.

Icon is hands down the best in the world and that is the truth. Tune in and hear all about the Holy Grail of 4x4's
