Customer Reviews of Cruiser Solutions....

May 2009-

I've been meaning to write for quite some time but the procrastinator in me got the upper hand.
I don't have to tell how good it has been to be back in the saddle.  I had a great time running the
cruiser through our hunting grounds this past season.  She took me well beyond her former limitations
thanks to the more than capable suspension upgrade.

I have a question re. the paint color.  The cruiser sustained a nasty chip on the leading edge of the
hood that I need to address but my records are lacking the information I need to replicate a color
match.  I know through our e-mails that the color code for "dune beige" is #416 but I'm not sure
if that is a PPG or House of Color designation.  I would appreciate any info you can gather for me.

I've been following all your projects on the web site.  Your commentaries continue to enlighten and
entertain.

Give my best to Hank and everyone else at the shop that remembers the "Canadian Cruiser II".  I recall
a telephone conversation we had on one occasion last year when the economy was conducive to a strong
Canadian currency.  Your comment was . . . "It's a good time to be Canadian" to which I replied . . .
"It's always good to be Canadian" . . . At the time of the conversation, however, I failed to state the reason why. It's because we live next to the greatest country in the world . . . and just a few hours drive away from
the greatest state in the greatest country in the world.

Tedd, I just wanted to thank you and your workers. The 40 drives great and looks even better. My mechanics said it's one of the best paint jobs they've ever seen, and while it was being inspected they had 2 people come in off the street wanting to buy it, one very insistent. The appraiser said he's never seen one like this, as did a local who's been into Land Cruisers for over 8 years. He also said it's the best riding one he's been in. He was very impressed with the job you guys did. The best way to some up my feelings on this project is with the answer to my wife's question: Do you have any regrets? I've been known to have buyer's remorse, but the answer right after it arrived, and 2 weeks later is still the same. Absolutely no regrets!

My quest for a reliable and fun FJ40 came to a very happy ending when I met Tedd and the whole crew at Cruiser Solutions. I brought them a very rusty but mechanically sound 1978 FJ40 and they created a like-new machine with a few added goodies. I was able to follow the progress of the work which was careful and at time painstaking but the results were beyond my expectations. “Big Green” has been a head turner and source of great fun.”

I’ve recently had the pleasure of visiting Cruiser Solutions. I’ve done business for a few years now with Cruiser Solutions. I bought and aluminum tub and cowl from them. Tedd, the owner of Cruiser Solutions, invited me up to see the operation. Let me start by saying it is downright amazing. When I first walked in, I could see into the shop and I couldn’t wait to see what was in there. Most of you have probably seen the restoration pictures online and they hardly do justice to what you see up close and personal. The attention to detail is spectacular. The frames look amazing, engines you can eat off, paint jobs that make your jaw drop, and installs so clean they look factory. The Cruiser that someone gets when it is all finished, isn’t a cookie cutter Cruiser where they all look the same except a different color. Tedd and is crew will build a Cruiser the exact way you want it. I saw a beautiful 45 getting a diesel engine conversion. There was a 40 getting a complete resto and while I was there they were installing power steering. There was a 40 that had been done and was having the hardtop installed. The crew that Tedd has working for him are top notch. I spent hours in the shop talking to the guys. Brian spent hours with me going over some tips and tricks for installing my aluminum tub and cowl. Tedd has spent a lot of money on setting up a top notch shop. He recently bought a spray booth for the shop. When it all comes down to it, if you want a Cruiser that is unlike the all the rest, contact Tedd at Cruiser Solutions.

"I've had my 1972 FJ40 for over 20 years. It's been with me throughout all the major phases of my life, spanning homes and adventures in Seattle, New Orleans, Boston, and rural Maine. Several years ago I finally decided to part it out due to rust, mechanical wear, and simple age. Somehow I discovered Cruiser Solutions, drove out to meet Tedd, watched his operation, and realized that this labor of love was the real thing. Over a two year period, he gradually restored my FJ40 to a state not only better than its original condition, but better than I could ever have imagined. We discussed all aspects of the restoration, and I was able to see every step through digital photographs that Tedd sent me when I couldn't be there to watch the process myself. After the job was completed, he also had it inspected for me, and thoughtfully kept in touch to make sure all systems functioned properly. When I had the FJ40 formally appraised for insurance purposes, I was stopped outside the appraisal office by a young woman who asked me if Toyota was remaking its vintage LandCruiser line. When she found out she was younger than the FJ40, she was speechless. The appraiser felt the same way. Thank you Cruiser Solutions."

I think in a past life Tedd WAS a Land Cruiser.... The company is called Cruiser Solutions - It would be more appropriately named 'Cruiser Miracles' because what they did to my rust heap was nothing short of miraculous.When you do just one thing all the time you can't help but get really really good at it.This is evident in what Tedd and the boys at Cruiser Solutions do.The service and personal attention that you get with every phone call you make has you feeling that you're their only customer.Then when you get to the shop the place is humming with projects.They led me by the hand throughout the whole process.No work was done with out my approval and they were sensitive to my budget.They kept my idea of a finished product in mind and never tried to 'sell' me anything I didn't need.All of this made and continues to make restoring my Land Cruiser a pleasant experience.I would and do recommend Cruiser Solutions to everyone that asks me 'who did it?' and believe me it happens all the time.

I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for all your hard work and for your friendship. It is rare in this day and age to find a company like yours where client relations and attention to detail are paramount. From the first phone call I made inquiring about my FJ60, I could tell I wanted to do business with you. The truck is sweet and I get compliments on it wherever I take it. Also, your offer to call you day or night, weekend or weekday, with questions or problems was sincere and honest and true to your word. I really appreciate that. Cruiser Solutions is definitely a company I would recommend to anyone thinking about buying a Toyota Land Cruiser. The trucks you guys put out are beautiful and your professionalism is head and shoulders above the rest. Thanks again Tedd.
Best regards,
