\"1985<\/a><\/p>\n

Proffitt’s Resurrection Land Cruisers<\/a> (PRLC) built this 1985 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 at their company in Orchard City, Colorado. The SUV is no longer powered by a Toyota power plant. Instead it has a 3.9 L Cummins 4BT diesel inline-four. Behind that is a Toyota H55F five-speed manual transmission, transfer case, and 80-series axles. The SUV rides on a modified FZJ80 chassis with Old Man Emu 2-inch suspension lift, heavy-duty sway bars, and a set of Nomad Arvo 17-inch wheels with 35-inch tires. The exterior uses PRLC rock sliders, ARB front bumper, and PRLC dual swing out rear bumper. <\/p>\n
