Hilux 4dr

Are those older 4dr hiluxs around anymore. The ones that look like ours? I know they wern't available in the US, but can they be titled here? I would love to have one. Any info?

I know they can be titled in some instances. I've seen an early 80s 4-door RHD Hilux here in Albuquerque (I drooled a little). Let us know if you find anything out.

When I was in the service I saw all Gen styles of Toy 4x4's overseas. Had a chance to buy the cab and bed for an '85 4Door for cheap but no way to get it back to the states.
Not sure how the DOT deal works. Do a google search for 'Gray Market vehicle Imports"
"As a general rule all motor vehicles imported into the United States that are less than 25 years old must comply with all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS), or be brought into compliance with the FMVSS by a Registered Importer"
Gov't Regulations Import info Link: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import/

Could get expensive replacing glass, adding door struts etc if the truck is less than 25 years old but there are a lot of diesel LandCruisers showing up in the US now..

I see lots of crazy looking toys around town here, ALL of them are Passenger steering? Full 4 door first gens and 2nd gens all with SFA's. None of them even seem to have rust anywhere.

I saw an older hilux 4-door LHD one time. Didn't get too much of a chance to talk to the guy but I think he got it from france.
