Probably as long as you are willing to pay for it.

Montu Motors is in Tampa and does.

Since I started looking in February 2018, auctions on the 2.8L NA diesel version have ranged from $2500 - $8000 USD depending on condition/mileage. You have to factor in another couple thousand USD for fees/shipping/customs. I won an auction after searching for 6 months and got a great deal on a low mileage 1991 Super Custom Limited, most likely due to the paint not being in great shape. Will remedy that in short order once received! It's hard to say if the KZH106 models will command a higher price for the 3.0L turbo diesel engine paired with full-time 4wd (via viscous coupling center diff), or if the part-time 4wd with the 2.8L diesel is more desirable (can run in 2wd until you need 4wd, plus locked 50/50 front/rear power distribution is more rugged). It was a tough choice for me, the 3.0L diesel only became legal in the USA in August 2018, so it was really off my radar until the very end of my search. I was also quite partial to the LH107's maroon interior!

@David Johnston was it hard to set up and get one off auction! I’m assuming you used goo net!

1994

That would be the H200 Toyota HiAce Superlong Widebody Highroof (トヨタ・ハイエース・スーパーロングバン・ワイドボディ・ハイルーフ) or just Grand Cabin for short. Overall length: 5,380 mm (17.65 ft); width: 1,880 mm (6.16 ft); height: 2,285 mm (7.49 ft). Unfortunetaly in Japan they are only sold as passenger vans. In Singapore (and probably in other Southeast Asian markets) the Hiace is available as a commercial van. It's a Toyota Hiace Highroof and has the same dimensions as the Japanese one. The cargo area is (lenght) 3470 mm (136.6") x (width) 1730 mm (68.1") x (height) 1635 mm (64.3" ) = 9.8 m3 (~ 346 cubic ft) In Japan there's also a bigger variant called Super Highroof (スーパーハイルーフ) which is 10 cm (4") taller, but it's only sold as a base for an ambulance.

Buhanka!

Japanese Classics has them.

Libertarian Activist I believe you can’t import a car to America until it’s 25 years old.

@@josephsamsor1698 Why ???

Libertarian Activist I don’t think there’s a good reason for it but this is what I’ve seen especially in the car community. When importing cars they have to wait till it’s 25 years old to get their favorite Japanese cars. I wish I had a better understanding but you’d probably want to look into it yourself.

Libertarian Activist this is a bit of info on it: help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/278/~/importing-classic-or-antique-vehicles-%2F-cars-for-personal-use

@@josephsamsor1698 That's just to oppose the competition because it is known world wide that Japanese automobiles are some of the most durable,dependable and reliable and far superior to American automobiles. I will get an old 1993 Japanese automobile,before i get a new 2019 American automobile any day! I am speaking from personal experience. I have had two American vans. Chevy and ford and they didn't last as long as my Toyota which took a lot of abuse and was still running for many years with no major issues besides regular maintenance.

Know where I can get replacement lenses for back taillights?

Here in NZ that just isnt a problem. Ive owned quute a few diff Hiaces incl Duper Customs. and any part you want for them regardless of year and model is availiable. Incredibly popular vehicle here.

Just a very quick look and brand new complete tailight ( not just the lense) assemblies with bulbs and wiring are availiable here for all years for around USD$ 45.00 each.

@@matui6983 My niece lives in Australia and my sister in Bali. Can you send me a link to where I could order a set? Thank you so much!

Tried posting it a few times now but it gets removed each n every time. Just search for the tailight lenses here in NZ and the site will pop-up.
