Good afternoon fellas. I’m considering importing a Toyota LandCruiser 79 series. What’s the brain trust think? What’s the good and bad with these trucks? Pic of the one I’m considering.

If it wasn't for those pesky import laws.

As implied above, not legally possible to import.

Got it.
There is a big rise in fraudulent temp tags from states like New Jersey and Texas. Whoever that owner is probably doesn’t want them pictured here.
Not saying his are fraudulent but it probably doesn’t list that specific cruiser on the bottom left corner by description or vin.

RHD. Assume it's Australian market? Looks like a dash and some other parts in the bed.
The GXL badge and “workmate” decal are strong indicators that it came from Australia in my opinion.
First you need more money than most on this board to get one. Second, you don’t post on mud if you have one.
Maybe we should just require posters to obscure the license plates for privacy.
Jealous by the way Chris of the v8 you sighted.

I agree with you however on the other hand these people can’t expect complete privacy driving it on the public roads here in the US. People are going to snap and post pictures no matter what. If not here, Instagram or some other social media.
That's a lot of truck for that girl to handle.
Where is the “workmate” decal? (Am I overlooking the obvious?
)

This looks like the same cruiser referenced in this post: Random 70 series pic thread - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/random-70-series-pic-thread.1086766/post-14991053

It was shown in the second photo. Right on the B pillar.
I would assume OP already knew these trucks were expensive and technically illegal. So, besides those two minor details, what's bad about them? Probably nothing.
I need to update my reading glasses.
79 Series Fire Trucks are almost legal. That’s your quickest route to a US legal dual cab.
