Hi everyone. Newbie here looking for some help. I am looking to replace my FJ with something that has four doors and windows before my kids kill me. I have always loved Land Cruisers (one of the few toyotas I have never owned) and gave decided to get one. Only problem is that I have my mind made up to get a 1996 LC that I found in Canada. Usually not a big deal but this one is a JDM with right and drive and a turbo diesel. No EPA sticker on it as it was from japan. I have been researching this exhaustively and found some docket numbers for these from NHTSA but the only thing i can't get a straight answer on is whether the EPA will let me do this. I have found out that if I remove the engine and tranny out of it I can bring it in as a "vehicle assembly" I can bring it in and title it that way and then if I happen to "find" a motor somewhere later no one will ever know. Sounds like a pain and kinda shady.
Anyone out there have any experience or input on bringing one of these into the states?
Thanks in advance for any advice anyone here may have.
