| 1994 Toyota FZJ80 - Proffitt's Diesel Conversion May need the $$ for a down payment on a house.
For Sale: 1994 Toyota LandCruiser FZJ80 with Proffitt’s Cruisers Cummins turbo diesel conversion. The following 80 series land cruiser has just completed a diesel conversion with a Remanufactured 2001 Cummins 3.9 liter 4BTA. For more specifics on the diesel motor and associated costs, go to proffitscruisers.com
With the diesel conversion, comes a “Panther” Heavy-duty 700R4 transmission, considered to be a step up from the typical 700R4 Proffitt’s uses in these types of conversions. An fj62 transfer case eliminates the full-time 4wd these vehicles had in stock configuration. The early model transfer case allows 2wd for better fuel consumption and less wear on the front end.
The vehicle has been in my ownership since 1997 when it came off a 30k mile lease. It has been taken from stock setup to where it sits now. Even given the amount of added weight it has, with the diesel, it can now get around 20 mpg.
The following bulleted items are those included in the build of the truck. Feel free to email buyer with any and all questions. I’m using bullets to keep the ad short and concise given the amount of space a full description could really take up.
- Reman’d 2001 Cummins 4BTA (~65k miles)
- New A/C Compressor/Power Steering Pump
- TCC built Panther 700R4 Tranmission

- Rhino’d Fender Flares
- Alpine CDA-9883 Head Unit w/ Ipod hookup

| Here's the link to more photos.
The ebay page has definately gotten screwed up. Once a bid was placed, i could not longer edit the description and now it seems to be showing the description several times. 1994 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ80 pictures from cars photos on webshots

| You and I both.
Proffitt's has actually not done a 4bt/ 5-speed in an 80 series yet.
It is a tight fit, and while very cool, I couldn't justify the Extra $2000 of the 5-speed vs. automatic. Also, when it comes to wheeling, the diesel and auto make the truck very point-and-shoot

BTW, thanks for the compliment

| It's not difficult to look up on their site to see what they charge for the conversion which is a minimum of 20K plus whatever the 80 is worth. So it is a relatively unbiased opinion because their livelyhood does not depend on the sale of this cruiser. They made their money when they installed it.
