    Anyone ever have one of these? I don't think they are US legal. Or maybe just weren't sold in the US. This was my first car. Well, not this exact one. Just like it though. More Brown Brown on the bottom. And first Toyota! Lived in the Caribbean at the time. Was such a great vehicle. Would love to find one in the US as a project. Man had some adventures in that thing.

    Had bigger tires on mine and it would go anywhere. Except that time I high centered it on a super high burm trying to get to a fishing hole.

    I had one until late 2015. You can find them all over the states now. After they became 25 years old, the imports started. They're really cool and fun to drive too.

    Yeah, it was a 1986 BJ74 in really great shape, sold it for $19,500. You can find them for probably $11k and up

    whoa. pricier than i thought they would be. but makes sense. having to be imported and being a bit rare. are they somewhat a collectors car now? like an older ford bronco type status?

    Yeah, collectors for sure, or if they're beatup, then good wheeling vehicles. Considering they're $5-10k in Japan, add shipping costs and registration and everything, the cheapest you can get one on the road is about $9k before doing any maintenance or mods. Mine had lots of restoration done to it and accessories too.

    Every once in a while there are some adds on Dallas Craig's list for these. Bit you have to pay for it up front they ship to you feels like a scam to me
