Family Owned Toyota Land Cruiser Restoration Shop Serving Albuquerque Clients
If you’re in Albuquerque 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 New Mexico and the Southwest for over 20 years.
Albuquerque is surrounded by some of the most dramatic terrain in North America. The Sandia Mountains rise 10,000 feet right on the eastern edge of the city. The Jemez Mountains and the Valles Caldera are to the northwest. The Gila Wilderness is to the south. White Sands, Chaco Canyon, the high desert plains stretching in every direction. This is the kind of landscape that Land Cruisers were literally engineered for, and Albuquerque owners know it.
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 the high desert trails of the Jemez and the backcountry of the Gila, 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.
New Mexico Trucks Are Some of the Best We See
Land Cruisers from the Albuquerque area and the New Mexico high desert are among the cleanest we come across. No road salt, low humidity, and a dry climate that is genuinely kind to metal. A truck that has spent its life in New Mexico is often rust-free in places that would be completely eaten through in the Midwest or Northeast. It’s a great place to source a build and we know exactly what to look for.
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.
Albuquerque, the Sandia Mountains are right there. The Jemez are right there. The whole Southwest is right there. Let’s build you something that gets you into all of it.
