Blackdog Traders Land Cruisers

We’ve featured plenty of custom machines on the pages of The Coolector in the last few years and we love discovering new workshops breathing new life into vehicles – particularly off-roading, adventure orientated cars – and that’s why we were delighted to come across Blackdog Traders and their superb line up of restored Land Cruisers and vintage 4×4 machines. If you’ve got a soft spot for off-roaders too, then you’re going to want to read on.

Blackdog Traders create reimagined Land Cruisers which boast contemporary performance characteristics, enhanced power, and exceptional comfort and they are all put together at their workshop in Dallas, Texas. Their first customised first Land Cruiser sold for $25,000 and Blackdog Traders’ singular focus on performance sets them apart from the industry as each vehicle they worked on improved to get them where they are now – one of America’s leading custom workshops.
