Add Stellar Built in Sacramento, CA to that list. Works on all modern Toyota 4x4's and even a few not-so-Toyotas. But started out and specializes in beefing up and increasing offroad capabilities of cruisers. Overland builds AND rock crawlers.
No need to put LandCruiser Heaven on this list. Terrible customer service across the board. Based on how long it took to get just a set of seat covers, how hard it was to get any communication from them, I wouldn't want them anywhere near my truck. Plus I like my money to be spent in this country, not a restoration shop in Colombia. It's an accountability issue.
Add Doug DeLong at Well Sorted in Buena Vista, great dude.

Hey guys, Just wanted to add in some info TO our brand. Yes WE do 80's, and we love them. We ALSO do late model upgrades, builds and services!
A pic of a sweet 94 we built up with a 1HDT/ H151 swap, Custom everything( Just about).
I reached out to him via DM here on Mud and via txt message earlier this year asking if he still worked on Cruisers and didn’t get a reply. It’s a pity if he no longer works on Cruisers. His work was very highly regarded on here….
Robbie is finishing up projects in Colorado and then moving to AZ.
My understanding is he is done taking any projects until after he moves to AZ and has his shop set up there.

Happy to list him here with that proviso, if he likes.
These two may not directly apply to the 80 series right now, but if I had the scratch for a high end restomod of my FJ40, I would definitely be thinking of electric conversion. Like it or not, the world is changing. New gas engines are going away faster than we expect.

Georg at Valley Hybrids in Stockton, CA comes highly recommended by Onur. I've spoken with Georg a couple of times on phone. Sounds like a great guy. I'd take my truck to him or powderpig for a full engine + while you're in there rebuild.

No website as yet.You can fit the entirety of the Australian economy into Los Angeles, yet it's light on Land Cruiser shops based on my search (good ones).
I've had good luck thus far a bit further South of me in Orange County - at Cruiser Tech. Proprietor, Cesar, seems like a nice guy and is originally from Venezuela. He himself is an 80 owner.

Is there a Valley Hybrids shop? Is this Cruiser Bros?
Yes they do
Anyone in the Midwest ? Ohio , Kentucky , Indiana or surrounding states ?
Confirmed, I'm stopping by today to hopefully pick something up but unfortunately it sounds like he is moving on. Too bad as he is right down the road. People have to consider his plate is always full and he is a one man show. He just told me he is stopping new work and finishing a EROD swap and likely packing up and moving out. My guess is if your not a local number he wont take your call right now.

We've swapped an 80 or two. We also make a habit of putting 60 bodies on 80 chassis with LS3 and 6.0 liter power
LS3 in an 80 series
80 series gauge pod
96 80 series with LS3 and 60 series split case, lots of lights
Amp and speaker control boxes in 96 80 series
This is Sugar, 1987 60 series on a 94 80 series chassis with 6.0L Vortec and NV4500 5 speed trans. By far my favorite truck to date
