Workshop-ready Land Cruiser

About the community

Preserving the legacy of classic Cruisers through community, technical guides, and modern tools.

Cruiser Corner is a workshop-first hub for owners who wrench, drive, and share the stories behind their rigs. We keep the tone practical, the guides honest, and the community welcoming.

From the Garage to the Web

Cruiser Corner started as an idea many years ago as I wrenched on our various Toyotas, and then took them out into the wilderness to adventure with my kids. I have constantly thought about how I can build into the community that has supported me so much over the years, with knowledge, answering endless questions, helping me fix things.

I have learned many lessons along the way, maybe I can pass some of those lessons along here by documenting DIY projects, exploring new ideas, building a registry of Toyotas, and ultimately creating a stronger community of Toyota enthusiasts.
