79 Series
Double Cab

The most capable work truck Toyota ever built — custom constructed on a legal 80 Series platform. Built by Land Cruiser Heaven. Built to last.

The LCH Solution

Why We Build It This Way

The Toyota Land Cruiser 79 Series Double Cab is one of the most iconic, capable, and sought-after work trucks ever produced — still in active production globally. The problem? U.S. import law requires a vehicle to be at least 25 years old before it can be legally brought in as a non-compliant foreign vehicle.

At Land Cruiser Heaven, we solve this the right way. We source the genuine 79 Series Double Cab body and build it on a compliant, legal 80 Series Land Cruiser frame — a platform that already meets U.S. safety and emissions standards for its model year. The result is a truck that looks, feels, and performs exactly like a factory 79 Series DC — without the legal complications.

Every build starts with a solid 80 Series donor, goes through our full Resurrection process, and is fitted with the 79 Series Double Cab body, interior, and running gear. The final product is a legitimate, titled, street-legal Land Cruiser unlike anything else in the country.
