Salt Lake City Utah Land Cruiser Restoration & Sales

If you’re in Salt Lake City 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 Land Cruisers for clients across Utah and the Mountain West for over 20 years.

If there is one city in America where owning a Land Cruiser just makes complete sense it is Salt Lake City. The Wasatch Mountains are literally in your backyard — world class skiing in the winter, mountain trails in the summer. Moab is four hours south and it is one of the most iconic off-road destinations on the planet. The Uinta Mountains stretch to the east. Canyonlands, Arches, Capitol Reef, the San Rafael Swell — all within a day’s drive. Salt Lake City Land Cruiser owners don’t just look good in their trucks. They actually use them and the terrain demands every bit of what a properly built Cruiser can deliver.

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 it anywhere or figure out logistics. We handle it completely.

What We Build

We specialize in full Land Cruiser restorations and custom builds across the entire lineup — FJ40, FJ55, FJ60, FJ62, FJ70, FJ80, and 100 Series. Whether you want a factory-correct restoration, a full LS V8 conversion, or a build ready for the slickrock of Moab and the high country of the Uintas, 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.

Utah Trucks Are Worth Seeking Out

Land Cruisers from the Salt Lake area and the Utah desert are some of the best candidates for restoration we come across. The dry climate and minimal road salt mean the undercarriage and body are often in remarkable shape compared to trucks from the Midwest or Northeast. A clean Utah truck is a fantastic foundation for a build and we know exactly what to look for when sourcing one.

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.

Salt Lake City — Moab is four hours south and the Wasatch is right out your back door. Let’s build you something that does both justice.
