Toyota Land Cruisers

1973 FJ40. 2 owner bought new in Costa Rica in 1973. Daily driver for 30+ years and came in to us pretty "tired." New body front to back, the only thing we were able to keep was the roof although we had to fabricate a new rain gutter. We added coil spring suspension, four wheel disks, power steering, air conditioning and a full leather interior. It is now proudly owned by an extremely happy local retired expat who drives it daily.

1982 FJ60. Imported from the U.S. by a non profit group in 1982 and driven as a shuttle for church members until Paul bought it in 2004. Paul drove it regularly until 2009 when it became time for it's rebirth. This was a frame off restoration that included all new mechanicals front to back; it was completely rewired and the body rework was a mixture of replacement parts from our original stock and some repairs using all new metal. Complete custom upholstery to match the original details with two bench seats added in the rear to give a total seating capacity of 9 people. This truck is now being driven daily by a very happy Pilgrim Restorations local customer.

1980 HJ47. This truck came to us with only the firewall and roof intact. The chassis was in perfect condition. This restoration took over a year to complete as every body part except the hood was manufactured by us. It runs an HZ Turbo Diesel, 5 Speed full time four wheel drive, four wheel discs, power steering, air conditioning and Old Man Emu suspension. This Land Cruiser was exported to a client in California, USA.

This is a 1977 Banderante manufactured in Brazil. This is not one of our restorations but an example of a truck that we built here in Cost Rica and exported to the U.S. for a private client. We can build to your specifications (long bed or short bed) using all newly manufactured body parts with an approximate delivery time six of months.

New Land Cruiser Finished Soon!!! Check back in December '09.
