import

I have been documenting my import process for a friend and though i would post it here incase anyone found some useful tidbits. A lot of stuff particular to importing from GBP to JAX, USA on hoegh autoliners, but i wanted to document it all before i forgot it. Probably lots of typos and i had...

So, I'm searching worldwide for the right 1HZ Troopy (or possibly a cab and chassis that I can build a camper for) to import into Canada. It must be 15 years old to import into Canada, so currently that would mean a manufacture date of 01/04. I would prefer it already had a pop-up roof because...

Import 1hdt and 1hdft motors are very common here in Australia to update from 1hz's. They come from Japan after the vehicles there are deemed unroadworthy after some specified time period or number of km's due to emissions rules. Current prices are about A$8k for an import 1hdt and A$11k for an...

Hey guys in a bit of a pickle here. I'm having issues registering my 1993 HZJ73 in Texas. First question, does anyone know where I can get my export certificate translated and notarized? I have the translation but its not official. Second question: The tax and revenue office says that I need...

Hola y’all, quick question. Am I going to have a problem importing a 1993 FJ 70? Does month of manufacture matter? And if so how can I find that information? I don’t think that is included in VIN or title. Thanks amigos.

Hey guys! I'm interested to know any experiences in bringing an FJ 43 from Colombia. The car has been in my family for a while but I now live in California and I would love to bring it here. I would probably get it in good shape before bring it here. Disc Brakes, new soft top and power steering...

Hey fellow mudders, I bought an import from AUSTOUSA about three years ago. I have all the correct paperwork which they gave me. I never registered the vehicle because I was fixing it up. Now some friends that I sold it to are trying to get it registered at the Florida DMV but the DMV is being...

I found this today and wish I'd seen it sooner. Good info for anyone considering importing, even if you use someone else. Moving 2 FJ40s from Cartegena to Galveston, TX next month (hopefully). Once we get a coupe more export related docs and the booking done, I'll post about the journey...

How is it holding up? It's 2018 now so I expect to start seeing 1993 models rolling into the states. For those of you who imported from Japan, Canada, or elsewhere - have you run into any big issues with repairs or finding parts? Most of the threads from owners a couple years ago seemed to...

Full disclaimer: New to the forum and will be new to the Land Cruiser life if I can pull this off. I apologize if this question has been asked before but I didn't find anything in my research so I'm hoping I can still get some information. It looks as if I might be moving to Guam next spring...

Ive had 3 deals fall apart, and no love (response) from the only importer I know of: @Akella Anyone have any leads (new or used) or can help with a PN as I search the interwebs?

I am sure many people here have heard about this. It is what international travelers use when they are driving around the world and come into the USA. I searched and am not finding any info on this topic. I am after details, I am going to assume it is similar to what I have to do when I...

I'm a long time Yota guy. Lots of pickups and early 4Runners over the years. I'm nearing 50 and finally looking for a clean FJ40 for a restoration project. Must run and drive along the way - I am looking for something without major rust issues requiring repairs. I am also embarking on a 10...

Hi all. I am vehicle shopping and heavily considering a 70 series. Can anyone tell me what year the HDJ75 was first released? If you have info about what markets it was offered to in different years that would be even better. I am looking at importing to the USA, so just figuring out what my...

If not, any interest in one? I see 1990-92 diesel cruisers for sale in the $15-20k range here in the US or in Canada and have always wondered what it would take to get one over here from Japan directly. My limited initial research indicates that these might be overpriced but I want to make sure...

Saw this today, imagine it is pretty rare. A shame it is in Australia. J-FJ56F-Q Fire Truck imported from Japan pickles.com.au/trucks/item/-/details/C1979--Toyota--Landcruiser-J-FJ56F-Q--4-x-4--Fire-Truck--3-Seats/402284087 I see SOR have one similar but does anyone know of any other 40/50...

Considering getting an import 60 series. anybody have an experience, thoughts, recommendations...? possibly have my american fj60 used for parts. does the engine, body etc, match up at all? cheers

I have decided to sell my 1988 Toyota Hilux surf 2.4L Diesel which was imported from Japan. (Right hand drive & Manual). 87,000 miles on her (140,000 KM) and all work has been performed by ACC Toyota in Atlanta. Manual transmission. Title in hand and vehicle is registered here in Atlanta...

Hello all So, I've been lurking around reading on and off here for a couple years, and finally taken the plunge. I'm going to document the process so that others know more about what they are in for when doing the whole vehicle immigration thing. For starters, I will tell the story about how...

Hey, I posted this in the import forum, but you guys in this clubhouse might be able to help me more. I'm from Calgary, and working in California until October. I would like to drive up a FJ60 when I leave. I have a couple questions regarding importing: From what I understand, because the...
