Family Owned Toyota Land Cruiser Restoration Shop Serving Illinois Clients
Illinois might not be the first state that comes to mind for Land Cruiser country but the people who own them here know exactly what they have and exactly where they’re going with them. The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is a day’s drive north. Wisconsin’s Northwoods are a few hours away. The Shawnee National Forest in southern Illinois has some genuinely surprising terrain for a Midwest state, sandstone bluffs, river bottoms, and forest roads that reward a capable truck. And we’re practically neighbors, Belle Plaine is a straight shot south down I-35 which makes logistics easy and turnaround fast.
Illinois also sits at a crossroads that gives Land Cruiser owners access to a huge swath of the country. East to Indiana and Ohio, south to Missouri and Tennessee, north to Wisconsin and Minnesota. If you own a Land Cruiser in Illinois you’re never more than a few hours from somewhere worth going.

A Word About Midwest Trucks
Illinois and the surrounding region is road salt country. Winters here are hard on trucks and the undercarriage shows it. We know exactly what to look for when sourcing a Midwest Land Cruiser and how to assess what’s structural and what’s cosmetic. Sometimes the smartest move is to source a rust-free truck from somewhere drier and bring it in. We’ll tell you straight what makes the most sense for your situation.
Don’t Have a Land Cruiser Yet? We’ll Find One.
Not every client comes to us with a truck already in hand. We actively source rust-free Toyota Land Cruisers worthy of restoration from across the country. Tell us what you’re after and we’ll track one down.
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.
