Family Owned Toyota Land Cruiser Restoration Shop Serving All of Oregon
Looking for a Toyota Land Cruiser restoration shop near you in Oregon? You found us. We’re Land Cruiser Restorations, a family owned shop based in Belle Plaine, Kansas, and Oregon has been one of our most active markets for over 20 years. From Portland and Bend to Eugene, Salem, Medford, and every small town in between, we’ve built, restored, and delivered Toyota Land Cruisers to clients across the entire state. Distance has never been a reason an Oregon client missed out on a quality build, and it won’t start now.
Why Oregon Land Cruiser Owners Choose Us
Oregon and Toyota Land Cruisers are practically made for each other. The Cascade Range, the Oregon Coast, the high desert east of the mountains, the Tillamook State Forest, the Mount Hood National Forest, the Deschutes, the Rogue, the Umpqua, this state was built for a properly restored Land Cruiser. Oregon Cruiser owners are some of the most passionate enthusiasts in the country, and they’re particular. They want the work done right, by people who actually know these trucks inside and out.
That’s what we do. We don’t dabble in Land Cruisers, we specialize in them. Every single build that leaves our shop is a Toyota Land Cruiser, every single time. Two decades of doing nothing but FJ40, FJ55, FJ60, FJ62, FJ70, FJ80, 100 Series, and 200 Series restorations means we know these trucks better than just about anyone. There’s no learning curve, no guessing, no figuring it out as we go.
Free Hassle-Free Transport to and from Anywhere in Oregon
This is the part most Oregon buyers don’t believe at first. We handle every bit of the transport for you, at no cost, both directions. Portland, Bend, Eugene, Salem, Medford, Ashland, Corvallis, Astoria, anywhere in the state, we come to you. Your truck gets picked up at your door and delivered back to your door when the build is complete. You don’t drive anywhere, you don’t coordinate carriers, you don’t pay a transport bill.
We use licensed and insured carriers and arrange both open and enclosed transport depending on the truck and your preference. Running or non-running is no problem. Our carriers can handle a Cruiser that’s fully operational or one that hasn’t moved in years. The geography of where you live has zero impact on what we can do for you.

The Oregon Climate and Why It Matters for Restoration
Western Oregon is wet. That’s no secret. The constant rain on the west side of the Cascades takes a toll on the undercarriage of trucks that have spent their lives there, and we know what to look for and how to assess what’s worth building on. Eastern Oregon, on the other hand, is a different story entirely. The high desert climate east of the Cascades produces some of the cleanest Toyota Land Cruisers in the Pacific Northwest, dry climate trucks with solid frames and minimal rust. When we source an Oregon Cruiser we know exactly which side of the mountains it came from and what to expect.
Cities We Serve in Oregon
We serve clients across the entire state. Here are the Oregon cities we work with most:
Portland, our biggest Oregon market. Portland Land Cruiser owners have access to the Columbia River Gorge, Mount Hood, and the Tillamook State Forest, and they know what a properly built Toyota Land Cruiser is worth.
Bend, high desert capital and one of the best Land Cruiser cities in the Pacific Northwest. Bend buyers want builds ready for the Deschutes National Forest, the Cascade Lakes, and the trails of central Oregon.
Salem, Eugene, Medford, Ashland, Corvallis, Astoria, Hood River, The Dalles, Klamath Falls, Roseburg, Pendleton, La Grande, Redmond, Sisters, Prineville, John Day, Burns, anywhere in Oregon, we serve you. Call or text us at 316-633-9902 and we’ll get the conversation started.
What We Build
We specialize in full Toyota Land Cruiser restorations and custom builds across the entire lineup. Factory correct restorations, LS V8 conversions, custom builds, overland rigs ready for the Pacific Northwest, we’ve done it all and we do it right.
One of our most popular builds for Oregon clients is the full restomod with a Chevy 6.2 V8 paired with the 6L80E six speed transmission. We retain the factory transfer case, update the suspension for roughly 2.5 inches of lift, and handle everything from a custom exhaust and wiring harness to new fuel lines, cooling system, and professional tuning. The result is a Toyota Land Cruiser with modern power, modern reliability, and the classic looks Oregon owners love. For clients who want to keep the original engine, we install the Howell EFI fuel injection system, which transforms a carbureted FJ into a far more reliable everyday driver.
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. Browse our current available Land Cruisers or check out the recently sold gallery to see the caliber of work that goes out our doors.
Don't Have a Land Cruiser Yet? We'll Find One.
Not every Oregon client comes to us with a truck already in hand. We actively source rust-free Toyota Land Cruisers worthy of restoration from across the country, so you don’t have to chase down questionable Craigslist ads or fly out to inspect a truck that might not be what the seller claims. Tell us what series you want, what specs you’re after, and what budget you’re working with, and we’ll track one down.
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. No answering machines, no automated systems, no sales tricks. You’ll get photos of your build along the way, straight answers to your questions, and a finished Toyota Land Cruiser we’re proud to put our name on.
Oregon clients have trusted us with their Land Cruisers for over two decades. We’d love to earn yours.
