So I have a JDM 95 Hilux LN107 double cab, super short bed. But started as a fire truck. So I have been looking for past year to import a bed from overseas. It naturally is a challenge but I have one lead. The one I've found overseas is complete but needs some body work. I have a shipping...
I wanted to get some peoples opinion on importing a 1FZ and some info. Looking at different options right now and I wanted to know how would you import one? Can you still find a 1FZ to import? Who would you go through or shop with? TIA
Hello All,
Long time lurker first time poster. :)
Sorry for the novella backstory:
So, as the thread title suggests I'm planning on importing my 60 to Munich where I've lived for almost 20 year....yes, I'm old and yes, I should have done this a long time ago.
For the bulk of my time in Munich...
Hi there,
Wanting to have a fun project and convert a 460 into 150 and was wondering if anyone has recommendations on importing Aussie parts to the USA and the process?
Specifically TJM or TWD bumpers.
Thanks
Not really sure where to post this, but I need some direction on getting my 1982 FJ40 from the Surabaya Indonesia port to the LA port in California. Wondering what is the easiest way to get this done? Ive owned this FJ for over 5 years and have all the legal documents, also the FJ is registered...
Hi all,
New to the forum but long time reader.
Afrer many years of suffering (JK), I'm finally in the position of getting a JDM 7 series.
Been looking at HZJ70s on Japanese imporers sittes, but would rather go with one that other fellow members have had good experience with.
I looked all over...
Like the title says. Got one? RORO is fine, but I’ll chat with a container guy as well. I’d like a phone number with a contact (I guess I’m old school) than just a link to a website.
Also, if you have a customs broker that you have and would recommend, I’m listening. I’ve talked to a couple...
Hi guys
We are new Land Cruiser owners and also new to the forum. So apologies if this is not posted the right thread...
My brother, girlfriend and I just bought a 1980 BJ40 in Costa Rica. It’s amazing!!! We were starting the drive back to USA but it’s now impossible due to the boarder...
Hey all,
I had decided to fully frame restore my dad's 1982 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 Troopy (gasoline 2F engine). I will be getting the car from Aleppo, Syria as it is just sitting there like a duck and getting coated with dust. So I decided to do a project out of it while being in San Diego...
Fellow Cruiserheads,
Ok, a bit of a backstory. I came across a '91 HDJ-80 on Craig's List, and was very intrigued. Interestingly enough, it was advertised by a member on here, Chris Spaulding. I saw and drove the truck, made the deal, and had the truck transported down to Charlotte.
I...
This is a warning, and is based on my own experiences as well as conversations with CARB, CA DMV, CA BAR, the EPA, several JDM importers, and a reading of sections 44202 and 44210 of the California Health and Safety Code. I am not a lawyer.
The out-of-state title exemption apparently no longer...
Does anyone drive an HJ75 troopy or double cab truck on the daily? If so, what year and is this the only vehicle that you own? Any downsides to this being your sole vehicle?
I just picked up another fj70. It was running when I purchased it but a few days later I cant get it to run again. I have checked plugs, wires, cap and rotor all in good condition. I took off the coil from my other FJ70, a flamethrower, and still it doesnt seem to produce spark.
Im fairly...
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...
This topic comes up often, but a lot of cruisers make there way down from Canada instead of going up. Long story shot, I'm a Canadian working in California until October. Seeing so many rust-free cruisers down here has definitely accelerated my love for them, specifically FJ60s. I don't have one...
Quick question to anyone who has an opinion.
I am looking at importing a couple of BJ43s from Europe. Everything else equal - do the Diesel BJs have the same value in the U.S. as an FJ? Or, do they for some reason carry a discount or premium.
Many thanks in advance.
For anyone thinking about importing an old cruiser, here is an EPA battle worth keeping an eye on:

Cliff Notes version: If a vehicle older than 25 years is brought to the US but has an engine swap, it can be denied...
