Raleigh North Carolina Land Cruiser Restoration & Sales

Restored Custom Land Cruiser FJ62 with LS3 Engine Swap

Family Owned Toyota Land Cruiser Restoration Shop Serving Raleigh Clients

If you’re in Raleigh and you’ve been looking for a shop that actually knows Toyota Land Cruisers, you’ve found us. We’re Land Cruiser Restorations, a family owned shop based in Belle Plaine, Kansas, and we’ve been building, restoring, and selling Toyota Land Cruisers for clients across North Carolina for over 20 years.

Raleigh sits in a sweet spot. The Blue Ridge Parkway and the mountains of Western North Carolina are a few hours west. Uwharrie National Forest is right in the middle of the state, one of the best off-road destinations in the Southeast. And the Outer Banks barrier islands are a straight shot east. You’ve got beaches, mountains, and everything in between. A well-built Land Cruiser handles all of it without breaking a sweat.

We Come To You

Distance is never a problem. We handle all transport at no cost to you, we lift our fingers so you don’t have to. From pickup to delivery, it’s covered. You don’t have to drive your Land Cruiser anywhere or figure out logistics. We handle it completely.

What We Build

We specialize in full Toyota Land Cruiser restorations and custom builds across the entire lineup, FJ40, FJ55, FJ60, FJ62, FJ70, FJ80, 100 Series, and 200 Series. Whether you want a factory correct restoration, a full LS V8 conversion, or a custom build ready for Uwharrie’s rocky trails and the backroads of the Piedmont, we’ve done it and we know how to do it right. Every build is handled in house from start to finish, drivetrain, suspension, brakes, electrical, interior, and paint, and road tested before it ever leaves our shop.

Don’t Have a Land Cruiser Yet? We’ll Find One.

Not every client comes to us with a truck already in hand and that’s completely fine. We actively source rust-free Toyota Land Cruisers worthy of restoration so you don’t have to. Tell us what series and what specs you’re after and we’ll track one down.

Build To Suit

No two builds are the same and we don’t treat them that way. Every Land Cruiser that comes through our shop is built around your vision, your color, your interior, your performance specs. There’s no preset package and no pressure to fit into one. You tell us what you want and we build it.

A Family Business That Treats You Like One

Land Cruiser Restorations is owned and operated by James Sheppard and his family. When you call or email us you’re talking to Jim, Jesse, or Amber, real people who know these trucks inside and out and genuinely care about getting your build right. You’ll get photos along the way, straight answers to your questions, and a finished product we’re proud to put our name on.

Raleigh, mountains to the west, sand to the east, trails in between. Let’s build you something that covers all of it.

Call or text us at 316-633-9902 or 316-992-5986 or email us at info@landcruiserrestorations.com to talk about your build.
