    Insights into registering FJ75 from South Africa in California

    I can't help you with U.S. import/smog questions but would be interesting to figure out exactly which LC you're talking about. I lived in RSA in the late 80's & early 90's and Hiluxes were everywhere but actual Land Cruisers we not really common at all, surprisingly. Import taxes were very high...

    Mack 4WD truck

    Interesting. Maybe the only one I've seen in North America. I wonder what kind of running gear/conversion.

    3-door HJ60?

    Best explanation I can think of. A bunch of EU states have quirky tax breaks like that. I think Ireland is another one.

    Unique diesel 4x4 expedition camper

    Is he saying only 720 miles since new? That's how I read it. What kind of mileages are normal for surplus LMTVs? What do you get for $8k? In spite of a few shortcomings, an virtually brand-new LMTV is a lot of truck.

    FG's in Action

    I would say the fiend has been working fiendishly to accomplish that kind of a project.

    Is a Unimog for me?

    Do you have a personal mechanic, like confining yourself in a cramped noisy cabin, own shares in an oil company, and a thick wallet? Then yes, UNIMOG is most definitely for you! :Wow1:

    Hi. I've owned a KLR 650 in the past and ridden a lot of bikes. I'd call myself an intermediate rider with beginner off-road skills. I'm mostly looking for a commuter that can handle medium-short highway trips. Never looked at Husquvarna too hard until now. Any comments/observations on this...

    Western Star Iveco VM90 Canadian military camper pc truck

    I don't think there's any grounds to import it without it being over 25 years old, but... interesting thing is that they were built in Canadian factory (Western Star) and may have a Canadian VIN. You might be able to register it in some states, but California doesn't sound like a good bet.

    Western Star Iveco VM90 Canadian military camper pc truck

    I've wondered if/when those were going to hit the surplus market. Look cool and good off-road ability but how practical are they for a private owner in North America? They didn't seem to be well-liked within the Canadian Forces.

    4x4 van Palm springs

    "Fuel injected 7.3 diesel". Great. those are so much better than the carburreted diesels..... Looks just a little rough for the asking price.

    New VW California Camper Van

    We should file some kind of lawsuit. No fair using the California name unless you can actually buy one in California (and, therefore, 49 other states)!

    Discovery Phoenix Camper

    Not mine, etc. etc. Surprising to find this in Minnesota: http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/rvs/5070097423.html

    budget adventure vehicle: Sprinter vs Express

    I've owned VW Microbuses, Syncros, and know a dozen or more Sprinter owners. I'd love to have a nice T1N Sprinter, or an new 4x4. But... I had a AWD Express as my work vehicle for almost 2 years. Great traction, and fuel economy wasn't terrible. 16+MPG, maybe better on the highway. No major...
