Need a Spot
Kewl, thanks DC, I am eagerly awaiting the results, as I have viewed all the available pics of the hardware of the kit and want to know what the options/requirements are for the rear coil-sprung 'Sports, as mine is a 2000.


Used to have a custom 2000 Montero Sport - Front & Rear bumpers, Sliders, Warn m8000, 33/1050/15 BFG MT's

Now own a 1998 Toy 4Runner 3.4 Limited stock

Hi DC,

Get a fowarding agent to help you. For about $90, they take care of all the paperwork and bond. You just pick up the box! PM me if you need a link to a list of approved forwarding agents...

I have a forwarder. It's costing about $90 or so. But all the other stuff I have to do. Ie.. "Customs power of attorney" doc, lading doc's and not to mention all the fees. I'm already $300-$400 in customs fees. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />

Well, at least i'll have a lift. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Ya, tell me about it. Right now it's being held by customs for and "X-Ray scan" . Who knew what trouble it takes to get parts over here. I guess we need a distributor here to make things alot cheaper and faster. The only thing is I'm not sure if it's dot legal? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />probaly not.

Make sure you get that out of Customs within 5 days. Otherwise, they will charge you a per day storage fee for holding the item when you finally get to pick it up.

That bites about the 3-400 in Customs fees. The HTS or "Harmonized Tariff System" is a joke. I don't know where they get the "harmony" part of it. I just imported over $5k worth of VOIP hardware for resale from Shanghai and I paid $0 in Customs fees. Go figure.
