Vehicle History
Custom 1978 FJ40/Mega Cruiser Rock Crawler. This Mega Cruiser was built by Jeremiah Proffitt for maximum off-road capability. The drivetrain and frame are from a Japanese Mega Cruiser. The aluminum body was built by Aqualu Industries in British Columbia, Canada.
History
Much like the venerable Hummer H1, the Mega Cruiser was first developed as an all-purpose military vehicle to support the Japanese Defense Forces. Its first iteration was the simplistic BXD10. Akin to the Humvee, the BXD10 was a military vehicle through and through, and it's estimated that around 3,000 were built during the 1990s. Mega Cruisers are still built today upon special request from the Japanese Military.
