Proffitt’s Resurrection Land Cruiser (PRLC) built this 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser (FJ40) with a Cummins 4BT turbodiesel inline-four. They paired the motor with a NV4500 five-speed manual transmission and Advanced Adapters Atlas transfer case. Power is split between Spindertrax axles with True Hi-9 center sections and ARB locking differentials. The powertrain is supported by a custom chassis with a leaf-spring front suspension and 4-link rear suspension. PRLC stretched the OEM tub and top by 14 inches. The grey paint is accented by PRLC bumpers and a set of Trailready beadlock wheels with Maxxis Razr MT 37-inch tires. The interior features Scheel-Mann front bucket seats, PRLC/Tuffy center console, Dakota Digital gauges, and Vintage Air Gen 4 AC system.
