YES, we are aware that you will find many other FJ40s, BJ40s, BJ43's and FJ43s for sale claimed to be done professionally as a frame off restoration, or that they are running "OK”, and that everything is original, but we find that most of them are done cutting lots of corners and not even up to par to a true frame off restoration. We are believers that competition is good and healthy in every business, and we always welcome it. However, keep in mind that our competition is not with people looking for an opportunity to just flip a truck. What you see as a bargain or great deal today will bring many hiccups and a price tag down the road. Take into consideration the following points and ask yourself these questions before even considering in buying an "OK" or "it looks nice" truck:

We mention these questions simply because we take a lot of pride in what we do, especially when we do are doing that we love, and when we see how many of the other guys out there are just looking to make a quick buck and pass the page it. Instead, Terra Cruisers is looking to build a long lasting relationship with all new owners, we love to deal with people and we are a peoples' company that offers the best experience possible in building a turnkey truck. With that said, we are here to stay and to provide a great customer service and experience. Feel free to ask any questions regarding details and restoration process, and we will be more than to answer them on a timely manner. We would work hard to earn your business. Just send us and email, we are here to help, and we are at your service.

On behalf of all the Terra Cruisers team, THANK YOU FOR READING AND WATCHING, WISHING EVERYONE A GREAT DAY!

A few FAQ and how it all works:

Do you sell restored trucks or can you restore my existing truck?

Yes, and yes, we do both. You do not need to source the truck, finding a perfect candidate for you is included as part of our services. In fact, 9 out of 10 of all of our commissioned restorations and custom builds include the donor vehicle. We have had a few customers that wanted us to restore their existing truck and that is also part of our services. A few highlights into sourcing a Land Cruisers1)We are very picky with all of our restoration candidates and we don't just pick any truck2)Once located, it has to pass our minimum requirements for restoration (no mayor rust/rotten frame, no bent chassis, no previous accidents or rollover collision, the geometry of the chassis has to be perfect, original and safe) 3)We cherry pick each truck to ensure a perfect one. We normally keep around 3-4 vehicles in our pipeline to start our process and have them available so that our customers can choose which one to go with and start right away.

How long is the restoration process /time frames? From Tragic to Magic just under 13 months.

From the minute the truck arrives at our restoration facility, it takes us to fully disassemble, go through the whole transformation and restoration processes right around 8 ½ months. Sometimes less BUT normally we do it in around 8 months. keep in mind it may take us that extra month so we like to tell all our clients, they will have a brand new, turnkey truck ready to roll right under 9 months. Just for the simple fact that we like to under promise and over deliver. We take our time test-driving each truck and make sure everything is working 100% so that you will not have to worry about little inconveniences. We inspect the truck for at least 2-3 weeks. As soon as it passes our quality control, it is released for transport.

What are your Pricing, Options, Upgrades and what is included?

UNLIKE MANY EXPENSIVE RESTORATION COMPANIES out there. All of our restorations start in the $54K range. This will get you our Basic/Entry level Classic Land Cruiser restoration with standard OEM equipment. For example, pretty much a stock FJ40 with no additional upgrades or accessories.You want and FJ43? Sure! We WONT CHARGE you a PREMIUM for it!! Some others DO!!! For those of you interested more into customizing and building your own truck, we have a build sheet with all possible upgrades/accessoriesthat we would be happy to share for your review. Prices may be subject to change due to the market value and availability. Depending on how much you want to have on it or what will be your driving habits we will assist you in building a perfect driving experience. Some of these features go from just accessories to suspension, engine, and powertrain, to better suit and/or modernize the truck. Some of our clients want their trucks as daily drivers, so we offer a series of comfort and more modern equipment since they will be spending more hours behind the wheel. Others want a rugged truck to be used for camping or just hitting some of their local trials. Or simply just a classic, fun and iconic Land Cruiser to enjoy it with their family over the weekends, at the beach or just cruise around town. Whatever this may be, we can build a Land Cruiser for any lifestyle you have. All of our prices include taxes, all paper work,documentation with high-resolution videos and photos from day 1, shipping to your front door,a full year of service and maintenance.. All of our trucks are matching numbers and sold with a clean title ready to be transferred under your name in any State.
