Welcome to the Legendary
Toyota Land Cruiser​
Don’t let the classic lines fool you. The Toyota Land Cruiser has earned its reputation on the hardest roads on earth and plenty of places where there are no roads at all. Legendary for its dependability, durability, and go-anywhere capability, it’s not just a vehicle. It’s an icon. At Land Cruiser Restorations LLC, we honor that legacy through expert restorations, custom builds, and restomods across all Land Cruiser series – along with modern engine upgrades that give this legend the power it deserves.
The Toyota Land Cruiser is one of the most capable platforms for a V8 engine swap, and we specialize in exactly that. From the Chevy 5.3, 5.7, 6.0, and 6.2 LS and Vortec engines paired with the 4L60E or 6L80E transmission, to full cosmetic restorations, restomods, and custom builds, we do it all. Whether your priority is performance, appearance, or staying on budget, our team has the expertise across all FJ series to bring your Land Cruiser back to life the right way.
No two Land Cruisers are alike and neither are the people who love them. Maybe you want showroom-quality paint and body restoration. Maybe you’re after a fully rebuilt FJ40 restomod with a Vortec V8 under the hood or maybe your dream custom build is somewhere in between. Whatever you’re envisioning, our team will work alongside you every step of the way to bring it to life on time and on budget. We Build to Suit You.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can you get your Land Cruiser to have more horsepower, better fuel economy, and keep up with modern-day traffic?
A Chevy 6.2 V8 paired with the 6L80E 6-speed transmission is the answer. At Land Cruiser Restorations, this is one of our most popular builds — and for good reason. We retain the factory transfer case, upgrade the suspension to Old Man Emu leaf springs and shocks for roughly 2.5 inches of lift, and handle everything from a custom exhaust and wiring harness to new fuel lines, cooling system, and professional tuning. When it leaves our shop, it’s a complete, road-tested build ready for another lifetime of adventure.
Does your Land Cruiser suffer from RUST?
Rust is one of the most common — and most damaging — problems a Land Cruiser owner faces, but it doesn’t have to be the end of the road. At Land Cruiser Restorations, we cut out the rust completely and weld in new metal for a lasting, quality repair — done right the first time.
We’ll be upfront with you — not every Land Cruiser makes financial sense to restore. But sometimes it’s not about the numbers. Maybe it was your dad’s cruiser, or your grandfather’s. Maybe it’s been in the family for decades and selling it was never an option. Whatever the reason, we get it, and we’ll always give you an honest assessment of what you’re working with before any money changes hands. That’s just how we do business.
Getting started is simple. Send detailed photos of the affected areas along with any body and paint requests to info@landcruiserrestorations.com and we’ll get a quote back to you promptly.
Should I purchase a Land Cruiser and send it to you for restoration, or purchase one of yours to restore?
Either way works — it really comes down to what you already have and what you’re looking for. If you’ve got a Land Cruiser sitting in the garage waiting for its moment, we’re ready to get to work on it. If you’re starting from scratch, we typically have a rotating inventory of original-condition Cruisers that are solid restoration candidates and ready to be Built to Suit.
Don’t see what you’re looking for in our current inventory? No problem. We know exactly what makes a strong candidate for restoration, and we’ll put that knowledge to work finding the right one for you. We restore all Land Cruiser series, so whatever your vision is, let’s talk and make it happen.
