Doing it "grey market" is the easiest. Before you bought anything, I'd go down to the DMV with a VIN number and ask them how to get it titled. Don't tell them it's an out of country vehicle, just say you need a title for it because the owner lost it or something. I'd play completely ignorant on it. ("Yeah, I'm buying this Land Cruiser and I don't know anything about it....")

If the DMV will let it get titled, then you should be pretty much golden. Some states are far worse than others, for example you'd never get it registered in California. A lot of states, once it's in the US they don't care too much (would rather get your money for it).

Be aware of the legal risks. You could have your truck impounded and huge fines levied against you. Not likely, but a possibility.
