Family Owned Toyota Land Cruiser Restoration Shop Serving Minneapolis Clients
If you’re in Minneapolis 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 the upper Midwest for over 20 years.
Minneapolis is the gateway to some of the most rugged terrain in the country. The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness is a few hours north, one of the last truly wild places in the lower 48. The North Shore of Lake Superior, the Chippewa National Forest, and the backroads of the Iron Range are all within reach. Minnesotans know how to handle hard country and a properly built Land Cruiser is exactly the right tool for 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 two-tracks of the Chippewa and the logging roads of northern Minnesota, 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.
A Word About Minnesota Trucks
Minnesota winters are no joke and the roads show it. Salt, freeze-thaw cycles, and decades of hard use take a toll on the undercarriage of any truck that’s spent its life here. We know what to look for when sourcing a Minnesota Land Cruiser and we know how to assess what’s worth building on and what isn’t. We’ll be straight with you before anything gets started.
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.
Minneapolis, the Boundary Waters don’t care what you drive. But you will. Let’s build you something worthy of the north.
