Hey all!
Looking to buy my first Land Cruiser and of course the model I have fallen in love with has to be the most pain in the butt for the state I live in.
Necessary:
- Either already registered in California/CARB compliant OR cheap enough to not make me go bankrupt making it compliant
- Four door 77 series (would be fine with a HZJ73 if there's one available, they have grown on me a bit)
- In decent working condition (fine with a bit of a project in terms of interior and exterior as long as it runs)
- not a rust bucket :skull:
Wants (but not necessary):
- Diesel, but have heard from some sources/importers that shops like G&K (Ew) won't do diesel compliance work (or can't?) even though I have seen the threads on here to prove the...
I recently did an overland trip around Namibia in a rented LC79, kitted for camping. Mostly unintentionally, put that thing through situations I was certain would break ANYTHING.. and it didn't even hint at a problem. Fell in love with the platform right there.
After being a fairly long time reader, it's obvious this is one of the best places to look for a platform to build my own.
Hoping to find a unicorn, to build an overland vehicle. Me, and everyone else I imagine.. but a guys got to try.

Looking for a 75 series pickup in the US.
Hopefully diesel (or 1FZ-FE should start to become available), and has to have heat.
Not looking for any crazy built ones, weird conversions, or to take over someones project.
Something I can actually use as an honest single cab pickup truck like Mr. T intended.
