Family Owned Toyota Land Cruiser Restoration Shop Serving Charleston Clients
If you’re in Charleston 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 South Carolina and the Southeast for over 20 years.
Charleston is one of the most beautiful cities in America and the country surrounding it is just as impressive once you get off the beaten path. The ACE Basin, one of the largest undeveloped estuaries on the East Coast, stretches across thousands of acres of Lowcountry just southwest of the city. Francis Marion National Forest covers a huge swath of land north of Charleston with dirt roads and two-tracks cutting through old growth coastal forest. And the Blue Ridge foothills are just a few hours northwest when you want something completely different. A Land Cruiser fits Charleston the way a good pair of boots fits, built for whatever the day calls for.
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 dirt roads of Francis Marion and the backroads of the South Carolina Lowcountry, 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.
Charleston, the Lowcountry is right outside your door and the mountains aren’t far behind. Let’s build you something worthy of both.
Call or text us at 316-633-9902 or 316-992-5986 or email us at info@landcruiserrestorations.com to talk about your build.
