Restoration Service

At Cruiser Tech, we specialize in breathing new life into off-road vehicles, combining expert craftsmanship with high-quality components.

Stage

01

Vehicle Sourcing & Functional Conditioning

Solid, reliable platform ready for daily driving and light off-road use. No cosmetic restoration.

$25,000–$60,000 | Timeline: 2–4 months

Back in service — properly. A thorough mechanical refresh and cosmetic reset that brings a Land Cruiser back to full working order without reinventing it. Drivetrain inspected and tuned, undercarriage cleaned and treated, bodywork freshened, interior tidied, and the electrical and safety systems brought up to standard. The result is a reliable, honest driver that looks and feels the way it should.

Typical inclusions

  • Full mechanical inspection, service, and tune
  • Undercarriage blast clean, rust treatment, and protective coat
  • Exterior windows-out repaint in factory or customer-specified colour
  • Suspension bushings and steering components refreshed
  • Brake system, cooling, and fuel system serviced
  • Interior refreshed to factory standard — trim, seating, headliner
  • Electrical audit and updates — reverse camera, modern audio if required

Ideal for: owners who want their Cruiser sorted and back on the road — not transformed. A reliable driver that stays true to what made it original.

02

Body-Off Restoration Build

Complete ground-up rebuild — mechanically, structurally, and cosmetically. OEM rebuild or LS V8 swap available.

$60,000–$180,000 | Timeline: 4–8 months

Classic character. Modern capability. The sweet spot for most of our clients — a build that preserves everything that makes a Land Cruiser worth having while bringing it into the present. Engine upgrades or a full swap, a lifted and retuned suspension, refreshed or custom interior, updated power steering and braking. The vehicle you want to drive every week, built to perform the way it should have from the factory.

Typical inclusions

  • Engine rebuild, upgrade, or replacement with fuel-injection conversion
  • Transmission and transfer case rebuild or upgrade
  • Suspension lift and retune — new shocks, springs, and alignment
  • Power steering retrofit and brake system upgrade
  • AC retrofit and wiring refresh
  • Interior restoration — sound deadening, custom trim, audio
  • Exterior repaint — windows out, bare metal prep where required
  • Wheels, tyres, and driveline refresh
Ideal for: drivers who want real-world usability and modern comfort without sacrificing the character of the original. The build most of our clients come back for.

03

Signature Performance Build — LS Conversion

The highest level of the build program. Full body-off restoration + modern V8 powertrain conversion + advanced suspension. Built for performance and long-term reliability. 3

$180,000+ | Timeline: 8–18 months

Nothing held back. The vehicle comes apart completely — body off frame, every system disassembled, every component inspected and rebuilt or replaced. The frame is blasted and powder-coated. The drivetrain is rebuilt to spec. The body is taken to bare metal. The interior is built from nothing. This is the most comprehensive project we take on, and the one we’re most proud of.

Typical inclusions

  • Full body-off-frame disassembly — every component catalogued and inspected
  • Frame sandblast, fabrication repairs, and powder coat
  • Engine rebuild or full custom engine swap
  • Transmission, transfer case, and axle rebuild — lockers, gearing, driveline
  • Custom suspension build — links, coilovers, geometry dialled in
  • Body to bare metal — panel repair, rust elimination, primer and paint
  • Full interior build — leather, suede, custom panels, audio, lighting
  • Trail-ready hardware: skid plates, winch, sliders, roof rack — integrated, not bolted on
  • Full rewire and electrical system build from scratch
  • Final road and trail shakedown, full documentation, and professional delivery
Ideal for: collectors, serious off-road drivers, and anyone who wants a Land Cruiser that outperforms anything on or off the market. This is the build with no ceiling.

Why Cruiser Tech

One Platform. One Specialty

We work exclusively on Toyota Land Cruisers. That focus is not a limitation — it's the reason our builds are exceptional. Every system, every series, every quirk. We know them because it's all we do.

By Appointment Only

We are selective about the projects we take on. This keeps our calendar lean and our standards high. Every build gets our full attention — from the first consultation to the day you drive it out.

Built to Last

We spec every build for real-world use. Premium parts, meticulous preparation, and zero tolerance for shortcuts. Our vehicles aren't just finished — they're engineered.

Full Transparency

You'll know exactly what's happening with your build at every stage. Detailed documentation, regular updates, and clear timelines. No surprises.

Not sure what your project needs?

We’re happy to talk through your build before you commit to anything. Tell us about your Land Cruiser and where you want to take it.
