What did you have to show the DMV in Arizona to get it registered? And didn't you have to show some proof of residence in AZ? Did you try then to register it in CA later?

I ended up driving to Arizona to register my FJ60
I have had two in the past but currently I have a HJ47 & a HJ75 both of which got denied after inspections and paperwork..
I registered one in Vegas no issues but was unable to transfer it into Cali..
There are workarounds i.e. Arizona you may get lucky but i think that all the DMV staff just send it to Sacramento and then that is where it sits.
I still have a residence in Az I was stationed there before. Not hard to establish residence somewhere if you google it though.Same question as for the guy who registered his in AZ. Didn't you have to show proof of residence in NV to get it registered? What docs did you have to get it registered there?

I don't know what the explanation is for that except that it obviously goes against their policy as stated on their website. I would certainly have had them justify their stance given their current official policy. Legally, I see no support for their position for that year of a diesel.My 1977 bj40 was not allowed into CA according to EVERY employee I encountered, including the lady who runs the department in Sacramento. I titled it in Arizona.
I'm not sure what all the variability around this issue is about. After reading the threads myself and emailing the DMV in CA specifically about what is legal and not legal, I got the same response Fast Eddy did, which is in his link. This is official DMV policy, not an opinion or someone's experience.
I'm thinking about getting a TownAce/ MasterAce, too. Did you have to do any alterations to the engine to get your TownAce titled in CA, or was it all just vin number red tape?I have a California registered 1989 Toyota TownAce Turbo Diesel RHD. I modified your list a bit to reflect my experience. Let me just say this was a very stressful experience! I didn't feel relief until that title arrived in the mail.
