Custom Restoration
There are many possibilities to consider when planning a restomod truck project. Identifying your performance and functionality requirements upfront will help narrow the scope to realistic options. Some common upgrade paths involve drivetrain enhancements like 6×6 conversions, traction systems, fuel injection upgrades, and transmission modifications. Suspension systems can be reworked with 4-link configurations, airbag assists, locking differentials, and electronic shift controls. Interior modifications like additional doors and power accessories expand the truck’s capabilities. Finally, engine management systems with electronic fuel injection and dynamometer tuning optimize performance. Consult with our shop and we can help evaluate these restomod components and create a build plan tailored to your vision.
Custom Restoration example
it FJ45 has been equipped with a LS2 engine featuring a twin-turbo configuration. Engine management and calibration is handled by a Holley terminator electronic control unit. An automatic 4l80e transmission has been installed along with a PCS shift system, allowing for manual gear selection without the use of a traditional stick shift.

it FJ40 has been upgraded with a Haltech engine control unit to support the LS2 engine. This provides more precise fuel and ignition control for improved performance. The transmission has also been replaced with a 5-speed manual transmission (H151), which features close-ratio gears and a dual-disk clutch for optimal gear shifts and power delivery from the V8 engine. Overall, these modifications provide an enhanced driving experience while maintaining reliability through high-quality components.
Custom Restoration Example
It fj45, was equipped with a Toyota 1fzfe engine control system utilizing a distributor-based ignition system. The ignition system was upgraded with an aftermarket conversion to a six-coil independent ignition configuration managed by a Haltech Elite 750 engine control unit. This allowed for more precise fuel and ignition timing control compared to the original distributor setup. Upgrading to a modern engine management system can provide performance and reliability benefits over the life of the vehicle.
Custom Restoration Example
We are currently preparing to receive and install a new three-axle transfer case with two rear drive shafts on the vehicle. The frame has been inspected and any necessary modifications or reinforcements are being performed in order to properly accommodate the new transfer case and drive line configuration
Custom Restoration Example
It Toyota FJ40 was modified to receive a 3.0L 1KZ I4 diesel engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (H151). With these upgrades, the FJ40 is able to cruise at highway speeds of 70 miles per hour while still providing strong low-end torque thanks to the lows gear. Fuel economy also saw improvements, with an estimated 26 miles per gallon on the highway using the more efficient 1KZ engine and 5-speed transmission. The 1KZ's higher performance allowed the FJ40 to maintain speeds more effortlessly while increasing its cruising range before refueling, Including Tire Sizes 33
