In this exhilarating episode, Larry Chen embarks on an epic adventure to Colombia, where he meets with Nelson from the FJ Company to explore their latest masterpiece, the G4S model. Alongside this modern marvel, they also delve into the history of an original, untouched fj40 used by the Colombian government, showcasing the vehicle's rugged simplicity and utilitarian design. The government-owned fj40, with its iconic green paint and hardtop, holds a special place in the hearts of Colombians for its reliability and durability in serving various utility purposes.

Transitioning from the vintage fj40 to the cutting-edge G4S model, Larry and Nelson discuss the meticulous craftsmanship and innovation behind the $275,000 vehicle. The G4S represents a fusion of classic charm and modern amenities, featuring a hand-built body on a modified 2022/2023 Toyota gr 76 Land Cruiser chassis. With a powerful 1gr 6-cylinder engine and a supercharger, the G4S delivers a staggering 330 horsepower, promising an exhilarating driving experience on and off the road.

The team at the FJ Company prides itself on creating bespoke, one-of-a-kind vehicles, with each G4S model being a unique masterpiece tailored to the owner's preferences. Through expert engineering and attention to detail, they have delivered over 200 G Series cars, with the G4S marking their 33rd exceptional build. By blending old-school charm with modern technology and customization options, the FJ Company continues to redefine the classic off-road driving experience, setting new standards in the world of automotive craftsmanship.
