A complete, front‑to‑back mechanical reset for classic Toyota Land Cruisers. One plan. One ticket. When it leaves, it drives right.
We build trucks meant to be driven.
Every system we touch leaves here ready for real use.
A comprehensive restoration of all major mechanical systems. We don’t patch. We don’t chase symptoms. We rebuild the core of the truck so it can be trusted on trail and highway.
Who this is for
Owners who want a dependable, long‑term rig and prefer a single, unified scope instead of piecemeal work.
Each system is restored as a whole. No partials inside a system.
Full axle teardown, clean, and inspection
Bearings and seals replaced
Differential inspection and evaluation for back lash and meshing
Locker install and/or re‑gearing if selected (see Upgrades)
Axle shafts and knuckles inspected; components replaced as needed
Springs, shocks, shackles, bushings replaced
Tie rods, drag link, and damper replaced, and steering box resealed and serviced
Alignment verified and corrected after assembly
Note: Lift height changes brake line needs, lifted trucks require extended brake lines.
New/rebuilt master cylinder; booster checked and hoses replaced as needed
New soft lines; calipers and/or wheel cylinders rebuilt or replaced
Rotors/drums turned or replaced; pads/shoes + hardware renewed
Full system flush and bleed
Hard lines repaired only when compromised or when converting early trucks to dual‑reservoir
Policy: If extended lines are required (e.g., with a lift), a full brake overhaul is mandatory
Transmission reseal or rebuild as condition dictates
Transfer case rebuild (bearings, seals, gaskets)
Driveshafts inspected, refreshed, and balanced
Complete clutch system: disc, pressure plate, pilot bearing; flywheel regrind; new mounts; rear main seal; shift linkage service
Compression assessment; ignition system overhaul
Timing set to spec; vacuum integrity restored
Engine reseal (gaskets and seals addressed)
Engine mounts and body mounts inspected and replaced as required
Fuel tank service or replacement (common on 40/60 due to corrosion)
Soft lines, pump, and filtration renewed
Carburetor and fuel‑air tuning to spec (EFI only when pre‑approved; see Upgrades)
Radiator replacement as needed
All hoses renewed; system pressure‑tested and verified
Cooling hardware addressed to ensure reliable operation under load
Oil pump evaluated and replaced as required
New filter; verify oil temperature/pressure instrumentation
Baseline fluids filled and documented across all systems
Gaskets and seals addressed to eliminate leaks
Exhaust repaired or replaced when condition requires
Starting/charging system verified and repaired where faults exist
Lighting required for road use restored; bulbs and connectors replaced as needed
Wiring repaired where compromised; full rewire only if specified
Floor pans/structural concerns noted and addressed as needed
Seat belts, wipers/washers, and basic driver safety items verified
Only proven, repeatable upgrades that preserve Toyota engineering logic.
Lockers and re‑gearing during axle rebuilds
Disc brake conversions using documented kits
Transmission upgrades or transfer‑case gearing changes
Chromoly knuckles/axles during axle work
EFI conversions when using a standard, supported system
Engine swaps when well‑documented and commonly practiced
Custom or experimental integrations are quoted case‑by‑case and accepted only when parts support, tuning stability, and long‑term serviceability are clear.
System integrity: We restore full systems; we don’t perform partial repairs inside a system
Parts policy: OEM or proven aftermarket only; no unvetted components, no customer supplied parts
No scope creep: Related work that naturally affects function is bundled by rule (e.g., clutch work includes flywheel regrind, pilot, rear main, mounts, transfer case reseal, and driveshaft attention
Inspection & Baseline Report
Condition assessment, compression where relevant, leak/steering/brake evaluations, and risk notes.
Plan & Parts
Define the exact system scope and any approved upgrades; source OEM/proven parts.
Execution
System‑by‑system rebuild following CEV SOPs. No partials, no shortcuts.
Validation
Alignment, tuning, pressure/torque checks, test drive and shakedown protocol.
Documentation & Delivery
Torque log, fluids list, baseline tune specs, and photo documentation of critical stages.
Do you list prices or timelines here?
No. Every truck starts from a different baseline. We provide a written estimate after inspection.
Will you install upgrades without the full overhaul?
Some upgrades live inside our System Restoration packages. Complex integrations (EFI, engine swaps) are only accepted within a Full Overhaul and only when well‑documented.
Can I pick and choose systems instead?
Yes — the same systems are available as standalone System Restorations, but each package includes the related work that naturally affects function. We don’t do half measures.
Unified shakedown and test drive
Torque log + fluid list
Baseline tune specs
Photo documentation of critical stages
Bring the rig for a baseline inspection. We’ll show you a clear plan before turning a single bolt.
