Family Owned Toyota Land Cruiser Restoration Shop Serving San Jose Clients
If you’re in San Jose 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 California for over 20 years.
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 Santa Cruz Mountains and Northern California back roads, 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.
California Cruisers Are Some of the Best Starting Points
San Jose buyers have a real advantage when it comes to sourcing a Land Cruiser. California doesn’t use road salt the way states in the Northeast and Midwest do, and that makes a massive difference on a truck that’s been sitting for decades. California cruisers are typically rust-free where it matters most, the frame, the floors, the rockers. A cleaner foundation means more of your budget goes into the build itself.
One area we do see rust on California cruisers from time to time is around the top of the truck, from sun exposure and coastal moisture over the years. It’s a known fix and we’ve handled it countless times. A little surface rust at the top of an otherwise solid California truck is a small price to pay for everything clean underneath.
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.
San Jose Land Cruiser enthusiasts have trusted us with their trucks for years. We’d love to earn yours.
