Interesting design. Definitely creative I'll give it that.

Of course if it's a Canadian reg it will have to be inspected at a US port of entry, and will be subject to US EPA and DOT requirements.

It's not over 21 years of age (for any vehicle), and was clearly not built before 1977 (for light diesel trucks), so it must be proven that the truck is a "US Version" vehicle.

If not...well, that would be too bad.

Or since it is already here, you put the powertrain in an 85 4runner with a blown engine.......

This isn't bad at all in this case. As Toyota imported Turbo Diesel Trucks into the US in 1985. So it is basically already a US spec'd truck. I bet it even has all the stickers on the fender well.

I'm confused:

2010 - 1985 = 25 years old.

Therefore, the EPA/DOT requirements don't apply, just like other toys (Mogs, etc) of the same age.
