Toyota Bandeirante Restoration
We don't refurbish — we rebuild. Every Bandeirante is sourced in Brazil, stripped to the frame, and restored to a standard the factory never imagined.

A Toyota Bandeirante restoration at Overland Imports is a ground-up, frame-off build. We hand-select the right donor truck in Brazil, document its history, and then take it apart down to the last fastener. Nothing is hidden, nothing is rushed, and nothing leaves the shop until it drives the way a Land Cruiser should.
Fifteen years of doing only this has taught us where these trucks hide their rust, which parts are worth saving, and which must be replaced. That hard-won knowledge is the difference between a repaint and a restoration.
We find the right Bandeirante ourselves through our Brazilian network — no brokers, full provenance.
Body off frame. Every component catalogued, inspected, and assessed for restore or replace.
Frame, axles, and diesel drivetrain rebuilt and sealed — the foundation everything else rides on.
Metal worked true, then finished in your chosen color to a depth photos never quite capture.
Seats, trim, gauges, and details specified to your build — period-correct or quietly modernized.
Imported under full federal compliance, US-titled, and delivered to your door.
Every build is made to order. The figures below are representative starting points — final pricing confirmed per build.
