CARSPOTTING> Resto-Mod FJ40 Land Cruiser at Off Road Expo

This resto-mod FJ40 Toyota Land Cruiser by Proffitt’s Resurrection Land Cruisers in Colorado was built for off road usage, so we were amazed at how ridiculously clean it was underneath!

Their work is amazing – they hot rodded this FJ40 by chopping the windshield and the front grill, stretching the actual body of the FJ, and outfitting it with Bilstein suspension and Maxxis Tires. They also swapped the motor, giving it an updated 3FE engine from an FJ62 Land Cruiser for a newer power plant with more horsepower, and presumably, reliability.

For more details, you gotta watch this video!

What an amazing rig. There just aren’t many shops that are still producing vehicles of this level of quality. RESPECT to Jeremiah and his crew!

About Post Author

Antonio Alvendia

I am... a nonstop buyer of Japanese car magazines even though I can't read them, a long-time collector of rare steering wheels, horn buttons, deep offset wheels, fresh Kangols, hip hop mixtapes, and vintage Japanese automobilia. My background is in shooting advertisements and editorial photos for print magazines, as well as working with major motion picture studios in Hollywood. I love cars. I have a huge collection of vintage Toyota memorabilia and rare parts to go with all the cars in my collection. My life revolves around photography, cars and car culture. At the same time, I grew up around the culture of hip hop music, with a reverence for graffiti art and underground mixtapes. I've been involved with the emerging drifting scene in the USA since the late 1990s (as a fan), and began working with print magazines all over the world as a photographer in 2003. I eventually decided to travel all over the world to document drifting as it evolved from Japanese subculture to pop culture and authored my first hardcover book, entitled "Drifting: Sideways from Japan to America," in 2006 - the first book ever produced on the topic of drifting. One year later, I was contracted to create the first mass-produced and internationally distributed calendar on the same topic (2008 release). These projects were just a labor of love for me, so I never expected to randomly see my book or calendar on bookshelves and coffee tables in other countries. These projects certainly opened a lot of new doors though, like being contracted to help launch car culture editorial outlets for big corporations, like Speedhunters for EA Games' Need for Speed franchise, Driving Line for Nitto Tire, and NBC Universal's Fast & Furious franchise. Our website and brand has come a long way since it first started in 2009. Since then, we have launched events like 86FEST, V8BUILDS, and MotorMassive. Thank you to everyone who has supported us in our mission to share our website and our authentic passion for the automotive scene! -Antonio Alvendia • www.ANTONIOSURESHOT.com • @AntonioSureshot on Instagram
