KakerMix posted:If the port isn't open you aren't charged for those days, you always get whatever free days PLUS weekends. I'd think you'd be charged on Monday but maybe not idk, you've had so many problems and I thought I had it bad with Snailpocalypse. That makes sense. It also might mean I get Monday free. When I think about it, nothing much has gone genuinely "wrong" until now where we missed the pickup. Yes the date of manufacture is off by a year on the bill of lading. But if that doesn't cause any issues then it's okay. Hell, the camper had to be DRIVEN from Hokkaido down to Tokyo and that went off without a hitch. That's drat miraculous I think. It's just been a bit of a slog and effects of me getting too involved and anxious. I think if I had insisted on the people I am paying to sort it out among themselves I would have wound up in the same spot. But alas, I am by nature a problem solver and it gets the better of me sometimes. The learning opportunity here is: You're paying people to do this for you. Don't get involved. I know a handful of people in this thread said that to me in some form or another but it's hard to subscribe to until you're through your first experience.

Cleaned up the exterior but have yet to detail the inside. Goddamn is this thing fun. I kinda wanna buy this just from that pic

Holy gently caress, it's out of the port finally. Sitting in storage waiting pickup. But the transport fees have added up quite a bit. It's about $1150 all said and done to Wisconsin

The Daihatsu 2.8 block is favored by most, but both are good engines. Has the rear wheel center caps and all 5 original Blizzzard wheels which is cool as hell, two-tone maroon and silver paint WITH AC even though it isn't working. If its anything like the Rugger it just needs a can or two of R12 and it will be back to blowing chill air. Odometer has rolled over once and will probably need it's timing belt service done when it arrives, not a big deal on the 2L engines, not even a little bit. Suppose I should expect also having to replace the entire suspension like I've had to do on my other two 80s Ruggers. Guess we'll see what replacing a clutch is like in one of these things too. http://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/vehicle_lineage/car/id60012437/index.html KakerMix fucked around with this message at 09:22 on Feb 11, 2020 |

Thanks. Can you get more detailed on the process? Did you title and register it at the same time? Sounds easier to get it registered if it's already titled, but I'm starting from scratch. And when did you register/title it? I think some laws changed a bit recently.

Darchangel posted:I was led to believe that there were palm trees everywhere in Florida. I am enraged and disappointed. There's lots of palm trees, but there's also just as many oak trees making GBS threads leaves and pollen everywhere. Near beaches it's all mostly palms, then the further inland you get it's less and less palms with oak trees everywhere.

This isn't mine but my good friend in town just got this and he isn't on the forums, Kaker will probably see this on IG but this 2 door 3.0 Prado is just absurdly clean, he just got it delivered today by my driver (we live in the same town and use the same driver/broker/etc...) He has had new rear spare carrier and some rubber bits from megazip for months waiting on this to get here...it is pretty bad rear end

Hey, am I remembering correctly that if I import a car from Korea, it'll be a left-hand drive one? Are there any sites specializing in left-hand drive minitrucks? I was looking at this and experiencing profound TruckLust but I am not a skilled enough driver to gently caress around with a right-hand drive dealy.

I too have a Land Cruiser to post tonight.                It's a 1993 Land Cruiser 70 soft-top. 3.5L non-turbo PZ 5cyl engine, all freshly done up. 5 speed, AC, fender mirrors, original OEM Toyota electric winch, fold down windshield. All vinyl interior including floor. New top, new tires, new wheels, new interior, new weather stripping, new trailer hitch, new whole bunch of stuff. 130,000 km, so around 81,000 miles. Found on a dealer lot, as the amount of soft top 70s that have made their way through the auction since 2017 that I've noticed with the shape they are in means I went looking at the dealer lots. Found this, and now it's ours. I don't have to do anything to this one when it gets here besides take the top off and grin like an idiot. It IS missing a 5 wheel which sucks. I might go ahead and source 5 Toyota original wheels and replace the ones on there.

Kaker did you find that on a Japanese lot you mean? And camper update: tried my luck at our two DMVs today but they both told me I gotta mail that poo poo in. They don't process imported vehicles in any DMV branches in Wisconsin. I think my only hope for otherwise doing it in person is if the clerk is a huge dumb dumb but even then it might get into the system and get spit out regardless. I had a good call with the DMV department that does do the processing. They make it sound like I should be okay and at the very least they don't flag me permanently if it gets kicked back. But their backlog is 8 goddamn weeks. So...I either drive out to the other offices and see what happens or I risk burning 8 weeks.
