Overland Cruisers

This shop is incredibly professional, super transparent and all around awesome to work with. They did a phenomenal job fixing my beloved Tacoma.

I was given a quote by another local Toyota company that involved a multi-thousand dollar overhaul of my truck, I brought it out to Stephen and his crew for a second opinion. I was pleasantly surprised they were able to run the same diagnostics as the other shop and create a solution that was effective for fixing my problem and well within my budget.

It’s so hard to find honest and transparent businesses in this industry, it’s easy to be misled. Overland Cruisers is the exact opposite of that type of business. They are honest and transparent. Period.

I would absolutely recommend Overland Cruisers for your Toyota and Lexus needs
Angela, Jarid and the entire team helped us understand our problem, what fix was and got it done in a super timely matter with great communication.

Rockstars!!

After charging me 67 hours of labor to mount two bumpers to our 200 series, I discovered they'd pinched the winch power cable between bumper and frame, causing a short that would have burned the truck to the ground had we needed to use that winch. After making them aware of the problem, no resolution was even considered. I've now had to pay more money than I originally spent having all their work redone. Every electrical connection they touched was bad. Every piece of work performed was incompetent. Avoid at all costs.

Overland Cruisers is excellent! Stephen and his team are extremely thorough, detailed oriented, and ensure that the problem is address efficiently and repaired correctly. I have used Overland Cruisers multiple times and have always been very pleased with the work they have performed. The shop is always easy to get in touch with, willing to discuss solutions, and ensure that you know exactly what needs to be resolved and how they will best address it. I highly recommend this shop and will continue to work with them in the future!

Paid for a top end engine rebuild with a warranty. My truck made it less than 200 miles before a bolt backed out. A bolt they did not touch according to them. Causing coolant to leak out . Causing my engine to overheat. I pulled over let it cool down. Drove it further to attempt to get to a town . It overheated again. Overland cruisers was nice enough to tow it back to their shop. They told me they would take care of me. They said this shouldn't have happened. But ultimately I was told all they could do was install a used engine . For another 5k. The price I paid for the rebuild that came with a warranty. That bolt backing out was a wild coincidence after being in a shop. My poor luck. Those bolts in 1980s back out real easy on their own. I did drive it too far though. Not too far after stopping to let it cool. Wish the temp Guage would have worked but it doesn't read without coolant in the line.

The guys at Overland Cruisers are a pleasure to work with! As a woman, it is hard to trust any mechanic but these guys have always been 100% trustworthy and never try to sell me something I don't need. I highly recommend OC!

Stephen and the team at Overland Cruisers did an amazing job swapping a Cummins R2.8 into my 1987 HJ75 Troopcarrier after its original engine blew up. While working on the swap, they rebuilt the transfer case, regeared the diffs, installed an air locker, cut out rust, and fabricated countless brackets for the required swap.

The whole time, Stephen was professional, communicative, and realistic about what to expect for the swap in terms of timeline, cost, and unexpected repairs that would surely arise when working on a 30+ year old car.

Since picking up the Cruiser, I've put over 6,000 miles on the engine and Stephen was always on hand to answer any questions I have had along the way.

Super professional. Super detail oriented. Super folks.

They have kits developed for R2.8 swaps in the 40 series, 60, 70, and 80 so if you're in the market to give your old Cruiser a Cummins Repower, give the shop a call!

Super friendly, honest, communicative staff! They did a great job explaining things about the engine without being condescending or man-splaining. Honest prices as well! Will be recommending and back for maintenance. :)

We highly recommend Overland Cruisers. Our most recent experience with Overland was one of the most refreshing business experiences we've had. They are experts in the field. The level of integrity and professionalism is something rarely seen in business and customer service.

This business is an excellent resource for vintage Toyotas. Diagnosed my issues and found the parts needed for the job. Not always an easy thing to do. Thanks for the great job!

Head gasket repair, radiator core support replacement and other repairs on my '96 FZJ80, WOW! Runs fantastic, couldn't be happier. Thanks Overland!

$90 for an oil change I didn’t ask for as well as charged me for antifreeze that was never added. Completed 4 out of 5 requested repairs despite original quote being for the 5 repairs.

Unprofessional business, didn't complete the agreed work but got the job done for the most part.

edit*
After the response from the owner I do recall being reimbursed for the overcharge on coolant.

I got a hold of Stephen (owner) shortly after buying an imported 1991 PZJ70 Landcruiser. Little did I know that I would need his services. I was just thinking that he was the best resource in the state for information on this rare rig. Less than 100 miles into driving it, the transmission failed. Long story short, Stephen picked it up and took it back to his shop and made sure that it was fixed right. He and his team did an amazing job of making the vehicle right.
I hope that I don’t need them again anytime soon, but am glad to know that I have an incredible shop to take it to.

Stephen (the owner) has a love for all things cruisers and it shows! They are very honest and do a wonderful job! I highly recommend them!

My 1984 Toyota pick-up drives really good after these guys worked on it. I recommend going a bit earlier then your appointment so you can check out all the cool cars they work on.

Thanks Stephen

These guys are amazing and provide clear communication on what they see and what the consumer is to expect. They know their craft and can explain it clearly so the consumer knows what they're getting! I am grateful for their work and look forward to being a consumer to theirs in the future! Thank you Team OC!!

Overland Cruisers is fantastic. Simple as that. I’m very particular about my vehicles. I also deeply admire Toyota pickups and their history. When I decided to upgrade my 2018 Toyota Tacoma I spent several months researching lift, wheel, and tire options. I finally decided on a lift combination that I liked and was ready to start talking with local shops.

Then I googled “Montana Toyota shops” and Overland Cruisers popped up. I checked out their instagram and web site, liked what I was seeing and sent an e-mail. Contact-by-email is hit and miss so I didn’t expect much of a response. Ben from Overland Cruisers immediately responded to my e-mail with exactly the information I was looking for. The response was detailed, professional, and outlined wheel, tire, and lift options for high-end basic lift kits and high-end advanced kits. Ben explained how each kit would perform given driving conditions and my style. And they specialize in Toyotas. This was a no-brainer - I picked my options, got a detailed quote, and scheduled my install. I drove 100 miles to have Overland Cruisers work on my Tacoma - I didn’t need to do an in-person meet, that’s how confident I was in them.

When my Tacoma was done, they had it washed and ready. It turned out excellent. They test drove, tweaked, aligned, and set everything needed to make my truck look and perform better than stock. I knew they were detail oriented when Ben asked who had tinted my front windows. (I had a local shop tint the windows a few days prior). He pointed out mistakes the other shop made on the tint that I didn’t notice - talk about attention to detail!

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. For those still reading here’s the upgrades they made to my Tacoma: OME BP-51 lift front and rear, SPC UCAs, 16x8 4.5 BS SCS F5 wheels, BFG KO2 265/75r16 tires, C4 LoPro front bumper. All fully aligned, adjusted, balanced, and tested. Only thing missing is an Overland Cruiser sticker for the back of my Toyota! :)

Highly recommend Overland Cruisers!!

This shop is the best! I've owned several old Toyotas and have been to specialty shops all over the country. I've never talked to a more honest and knowledgable staff. I brought my 1983 BJ60 in for a tune-up and they were thorough and complete. They explained what they saw in layman's terms and outlined a plan to get my truck in top shape. They were never pushy or overbearing, and even took the time to let me look around their own personal rigs. I'll be a longterm customer without a doubt, and would recommend anyone looking for Toyota service to give them a call.

Stephen and his crew did a phenomenal job on my 2017 tacoma. They installed new 4.88 nitro gears, ARB front locker, dual compressor, on-board air manifold and dual chucks, switch pro 9100 and cleaned up some of my messy wiring. I would highly recommend Stephen over other shops I’ve worked with in the area. He and his team know cruisers, no doubt, but are fully capable at turning any Toyota into a very capable overland or off-road rig. If you have a goal in mind, he can help.

Stephen knows all about the older Land Cruisers and other carburetor and turbo Toyota's too!! Stephen and his crew do excellent work at a fair price. No up sales or hassles and it’s done right! Thanks guys, my Cruisers will be back soon for more repairs when needed!! TJ

Can't say enough good things about this shop! Steve, the owner has been working part time out of his home garage taking car of vintage Toyota Land Cruisers for some time. Opened Overland to do it full time. Super knowledgeable and meticulous. Takes care of my 86 FJ60 and 88 FJ62 Land Cruisers - that have never been running better. Steve drives an FJ60 as his daily driver. 'Nuff said.
