I called USAA and did that same thing. They had no issues insuring it. Thanks for the input!

Mine just arrived this week! Now I’m trying to find insurance for it. Kind of a pain since the VIN is 12 digits, instead of the standard 17, so the insurance companies I’m talking to are having a hard time comprehending that. More to follow.

SBH, I’ll bet our Cruisers are on the same boat! Mine has an RDD of 22 Aug to the VPC in San Diego. Maybe we’ll see each other there, haha.

Thanks for the input so far everyone, much appreciated!

I'll be importing my Cruiser from Japan this summer and I'll be picking it up in San Diego in August. I was curious if anyone has input on reputable mechanics or shops in the San Diego area? I'd like to get a tune-up and an overall once-over before driving it back to Arizona since it will be...

Truth. Im in the Marines but I saw the announcement come out not too long ago. I can't say for sure if it applies to the other branches of service out here, but luckily I got my cruiser shipment scheduled back in February before all of this happened. I hope it doesn't apply to all branches, so...

All, I am in Okinawa and I'll be shipping my '94 (March manufacture date) Prado in June, taking delivery in San Diego then transporting to my new duty station in Yuma, AZ. I've been looking for folks with experience importing their cruisers into AZ, this thread is great. Sounds like the DMV...
