You can get a container with them in it just like mini trucks. You just need the right contact in the host country to find you 3 or 4 of the ones you want. Sell 3 keep one on you profits. It's the way they do the mini trucks except they fit 7

Let's send @beno over. He can fill up one container of parts and the other with hand picked cruisers.
You find a location with some importable 70 series soft tops, pick ups, and troopies for good prices I'm guessing CLC members interested in procurement could put together a collection for plane, hostel, and cigarettes. I would sell my 100 in a second for $10k 70...if that is even possible.
Middle East is where that's at. Real good units too. Would need to take things apart though and containerize.
They've got 40 series in the ME that have never been uncrated from Toyota. Unreal. Like a time capsule.
I'd love a 4 dr 70 series troopy.

Probably dumb question. Why would you have to dissassemble? Are they too new?
We could ship some beater 80/100 series from US and have you sell them there and use profits to buy more.
Correct. The engine and the bodies/chassis have to be in separate containers.
BTDT. Go to Oman, UAE, KSA, etc., find cruisers (usually takes a bit of talking and having tea and smoking hookah), agree on price, buy containers, hire day workers to take things apart, label everything, build boxes for parts, palletize engines/trannies, etc.
Not for the faint of heart.
They have all of the holy grail 80/100 series trucks. They don't want ours.

As long as they are 25 years old or older no disassembly is required
Lets go. I can live on doner kebab, beer and russian hookers for months. Lets go in the winter. We need a VISA for
UAE? How about Turkey?

I would not go to the ME and get a 25 year old truck. I'd buy a new one or one from the 2000's.
Visa required for both... both obtainable at customs and immigration at the airport.
Yeah but no one wants to deal with that take apart thing.
I'm 100% confident if I had a 2008 76 series I could drive it for 40 years as a 85 fj60 and no one in Mississippi would know or care.
It's just getting it in the country.....
Since the thread is detailed already...
Could you not, say, buy a 76, pull the drivetrain, and frame. Send engine in one crate, send body in the other, and trash the frame. Ship back to the US then assemble on a 25 year old 70 series frame?

Yep. Trouble is you'd want to take that thing all over the country. No point having a cruiser if it never leaves MS
