How big of a Pain in the ass - 70 into US and reg.

I found a great 1985 BJ-70 (canadian) just over the boarder. For a great price, rust free and fair miles.

#1) Anyone know of a reputable/good inporter in the Seattle/Vancouver area?
and an idea of what it will cost?

#2) Whats the DMV going to do to me?

#3) Anything I need to do to bring it to U.S. specs

This link will give you info on importing in the USA. As well as a list of registered importers who could help you.

There was a lot of info on this topic in the Land Cruiser Mailing List (LCML) IIRC.
I keep seeing a Diesel cruiser for sale in Canada on the Spokane Craigslist and I wonder how much I would have to pay somebody to allow me to license it in the US.

People have already posted the names and numbers of a few reputable importers familiar with that vehicle. Use the search tool here

Good luck, enjoy

You should be able to delete your own thread. Communists abound

1) CARCO in Blaine, Wash and Vancouver, Can is the reputable importer I used-approx $300.
2) They will title the BJ.
3) No.
