Restored vs Resto-mod. Two FJ40s meticulously built but very different. Which one is your favorite?

[@raynold5156]

You guys have built the most awesome business and make the best videos. I’m hoping to make the dream come true of having you restore my dad’s 72 FJ40 and resto-mod my 79 FJ40.

Puts Jonathan Ward to shame!

[@georgesaraamonette1782]

Another great build, wish I had the resources to let you rebuild my 82, may be some day. BTW that baby is getting so big. Train him well and he can be the upholstery guy you need.

Fantastic builds and workmanship as always! This video replaced my weekly pbs Motorweek show today...:)

Beautiful work. I love the front seats and brown leather in that first 40. Are those stock 40 seats? Love to know where you found that leather. Incredible attention to detail. Nice work!

You guys do a wonderful job 👍🏼 I’m truly envious of your builds. Hopefully someday soon a Proffitt build is I’m my budget!

I've been enjoying your content on these cool trucks for well over a year now. My first experience four wheelin' was in a Toyota Landcruiser. My friend and I got to sit in the back inward facing seats and ride to the top of the highest peak in Pocatello Idaho where a fire watch lookout structure was located. This was around 1978 or 9. We were kids who got the thrill of a lifetime and I think gave the guys a good chuckle when they saw our saucer-shaped bug-eyed looks over some of spots where two opposing wheels were of the ground!

Thats a cool story. Great memory!

[@rosendofj40bigblock7]

This is probably one of the best videos you guys have done . Thanks for taking so much time on the FJ40 , ( continues improvement ) keep it up.

[@procruiser]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@gibrigg]

Amazing work! The tires you selected look great. What size are they?

[@joeyscleaninglady2877]

would be cool to add inductive wireless charging on the top of that tuffy tray..

[@procruiser]

Joeys Cleaning Lady that’s a good idea.

[@riderbikers4242]

Great Job, Love it. What is the paint reference used on the floor of the car. I know it is from vortex but I need the number . Thank you.

[@procruiser]

Both floor colors are custom mixed in house.

[@riderbikers4242]

Proffitt's Resurrection Land Cruisers yes, I just need the one paint reference.

[@patkohhs]

Awesome. Colour 416 dune beige ? May I know what is the paint brand & details? Thks

[@jamesg1745]

What is the best petrol engine to use for an 68 FJ40?? Does Cummins do petrol - also best for fuel economy at over $10 per gallon, I’m looking for that to be a consideration. I see 1FZ may be good? Thanks

[@procruiser]

Hi James, That's a tough question. Honestly, it's hard for us to steer away from Toyota unless the client is just instant about it...but if you want economy, Toyota straight 6s aren't always the best choice. Unfortunately Cummins only makes diesel engines. My suggestion is a 2F or a 1FZ and stay light on the throttle!

I have fj60 mod 84 pl,s till me how mutch it will cost for full resto stayg 3? I am From k.s.a Best Regards Hussein

[@procruiser]

Hi Hussein. We were in KSA in November for the Global Auto Salon and Riyadh Season. Love your country. To answer your question, there is a wide range depending on options, but most of our stage 3, body off 60 series restorations run from $100,000 -$170,000 USD

[@douglasbuck2359]

Thank god he did not put an L.S. in that 69!

[@procruiser]

I'm with you. #addsnovalue

Love the videos but the old the FJ40s have lost value in the past five years.
