Family Owned Toyota Land Cruiser Restoration Shop Serving Austin Clients
If you’re in Austin 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 Texas for over 20 years.
Austin is one of the best Land Cruiser cities in Texas. The Hill Country is right out the back door, miles of winding ranch roads, river crossings, and limestone bluffs that make for some of the best driving in the state. Big Bend National Park is a long weekend away. Lake Travis, Pedernales Falls, and the wide open Edwards Plateau give Austin Land Cruiser owners plenty of reason to actually use their trucks. And Austin culture has always valued things built well and built to last. A properly restored Land Cruiser fits this city perfectly.
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 built-out overlander ready for the Hill Country and Texas backroads, 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.
Texas Cruisers Make Great Restoration Candidates
Land Cruisers from the Austin area and the Texas Hill Country are some of the best restoration candidates we come across. The warm dry climate means minimal rust and solid bones compared to trucks from the Midwest or Northeast. When we source a cruiser from Texas we know we’re usually starting with a clean foundation, which means more of your budget goes into the build itself and less into structural repair.
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.
Austin Land Cruiser enthusiasts have trusted us with their trucks for years. We’d love to earn yours.
