Cruisers from Japan

PVH · 05-12-04, 06:44 AM

Hello. I've been reading some past threads about importing Cruisers I'm currently living in Japan. I'm in Tokyo and I really don't see to many Cruisers around here. I am from Canada and I'm wondering if anyone has info on importing to Canada. I know the truck must be 15 years old or older but that is about it. Does anyone have any government web sites that have any information? Does anyone know where they hide the Cruisers in Japan? I have seen a few 60 series but the BJ 74's seem to be pretty rare. Thanks in advance. P

I just bumped a couple import threads up to the top. I think they cover importing to U.S. mainly, but I think it also covers Canadian stuff as well...

Hey Ben thanks for bumping up that info. I think Canadian rules are a bit different though. I was reading the thread about bringing the BJ74 into the U.S. Cutting the frame and all to do it. I think that as long as the truck is 15 years old or older I would be able to import it and insure it. I would be able to have a BJ74 in Canada. Anyway, I'll have to search the Canadian Customs web site. On another note, I really like your web site. The "Big Blue Box" is awesome. I have had it as my desk top background for quite a while. If I don't bring a truck home from Japan then I'll probably get a BJ 60 and start to modify it. Thanks again. Paul

If you are Canadian you are in luck, vehicles are being imported from Japan already by at least 3 different outfits. http://www.mustang.bc.ca/lc.htm , http://www.lostguide.com/ and http://www.crushersrule.com

What we need is someone who gets Japanese Cruiser parts directly here....and legally....while I'm wishing, I'd like a pony

Im trying to get a deal going with some relatives in aus. The jap and aus models are virtually the same. Hopefully I can get something going soon.

Sorry, Greg & Shel...but I can't resist...I keep thinking of San Francisco for some reason

Judging from the grins, looks like the honeymoon is still on.

What colour would you like the pony to be.

I have been shipping parts over for years. Most of them go to the two guys below that seem to be holding hands????

The well-dressed guys on Davie Street in Downtown Vancouver claim that Sheldon's the cute one that they can dress up and go for drinks with while Greg's supposedly got the rugged good looks that makes 'em wish they'd been bad.

Come on, Greg...I've got to get you going one of these days. I know you're in front of the computer tonight even though you're supposed to be in bed to get up early to go wheeling tomorrow!

Show me the money Ken, show me the money! Oh and those were only available on April the first.

Greg_B · 05-27-04, 09:31 AM

Whew...

Glad we got our order in on the first then!

Oh, and Stone: I don't make it into town much...How is it you seem to know so much about Davie St? Is that what happens there?
