Passenger's Side:

After the body is repaired, Proffitt's coats the exterior of the rig with the proper substrate coatings.

After the substrate coating is applied Proffitt's applies a high quality base-clear paint.

The substrate, paint and clear coat are applied in the professional Spray booth at Proffitt's Cruisers.

The filtered Spray Booth assures the highest quality paint application and a professional, dust-free finish.

The door jambs are usually refinished in a stage one Land Cruiser restoration.

This stage one Land Cruiser Restoration included a custom retro graphics package designed by Proffitt's Crusiers.

A closeup of the Retro 1980's style graphics.

The graphics package was designed to blend and merge the visual appearance of both the front and rear areas of this Land Cruiser restoration.

Another closeup of the Land Cruiser custom paint. Notice the quality and attention to detail around the hood vents.

Notice the Custom Sunroof in this restoration — of course we added an all new gasket seal for that leak-free fit.

A Proffitt's Cruisers Stage One Landcruiser restoration often also includes other cosmetic or performance upgrades. Many Cruiser owners opt for a custom Land Cruiser Suspension, or a Land Cruiser Engine Swap like a Vortec or diesel.

Here you can see an example of the suspension Transfer Case and Transmission shifters sitting in the new body tub.

Notice the clean lines and professional paint on these rear panels. The Proffitt's Cruisers paint booth and expert applicators insure you get Tier 1 quality. Shine on FJ, shine on...

This angle clearly shows the quality of the body and paint work.

A great view of the front bumper, winch and winch mount, and spring under axle Land Cruiser suspension.

Proffitt's paid special attention to rear end and rear quarters on this 1978 Land Cruiser Restoration.

Check out the lower floor and body tub area. Don't you just love how great a clean, strong, new tub looks?
Everybody's favorite color is "New!"

The hood, front grille and front lights received extra attention on this restored Land Cruiser.

This is an excellent shot of the Land Cruiser rear doors and rear body tub. Notice the new latches and handles.

Great view of the rear body tub and rear jump seats. We overhauled the interior wiring in this area as well.

New lower rocker panels, steps and body tub. The seat and cage mounts were all redone. Imagine your Cruiser looking this new, and this strong, and tuff!

The rear bumper was completely restored as was the spare tire mount. The result is a strong, squeak-free assembly.
Listen to your music, engine or the sounds of silence, not rattles and squeaks!

All the rear door latches were re-done. The rear doors operate perfectly, just like new.

The interior door seals were changed out with new ones. Combine the new rubber weatherstripping with the latch mechanisms and you have a snug dust-free seal.

The hood on this Toyota Land Cruiser was restored with factory-quality lines.

Nice comprehensive view of the rear end -- the new body tub, the doors, doors seals, latches, bumper and bumper stops, tow hitch and spare tire mount. This FJ has been Proffittized—it's ready for the trail, or the road!

Finished product—An all stock, like new, retro inspired FJ40 Land Cruiser and one happy owner. Give Proffitt's a call to discuss your Land Crusier. We LOVE Cruisers and are happy to chat with you about any cruiser topic.
