1989 FJ62 Restomod Build with LS V8 Conversion

Sold

This 1989 FJ62 Toyota Land Cruiser is a past build from our shop, a full restomod that kept the classic FJ62 exterior while completely modernizing the drivetrain, suspension, interior, and electronics. The truck has since been sold, but it’s a great example of what a complete FJ62 restomod build looks like from the ground up.

If you’re looking for something similar, get in touch. We regularly have FJ62 builds in progress and can either work from a Cruiser you already own or source the right platform for your vision.

About This Build

This FJ62 came into our shop as a solid restoration candidate and left as a head turning restomod. Every system on the truck was touched, from a modern LS V8 conversion and updated suspension to a fully reupholstered interior with custom leather and a new head unit with backup camera. The exterior was refinished in a new color with a full body and paint change, and the truck rolled out on custom bumpers, a roof rack, and new wheels and tires.
