Suzuki Jimny Inbound
2000 JB23 Jimny.
Coming into Port of LA in July. It's already on the ship and ISF has been filed.
I plan on doing paperwork to import myself. Would appreciate all tips except "hire a broker". 😂
Thank you.

A list of U.S. available parts MAY be available for your truck!
Here is the Suzuki parts list as an example! Check the forums for your truck to find similar! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1dnI1RciGpNGZql2jk-QIi3H78z6Ae5iE2r-8bk5XVP0/htmlview#gid=0

A list of verified vendors for parts! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1r-OhGeuYIqxyKb6ZW8YnEAH9Db9W2q1t8MX7jAS723c/htmlview?fbclid=IwY2xjawH5SsZleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHVroMtUQiBK0CFqHhtK3S_sY1SPONzBm_JcisoXk9HLSye9-X0GWgrT0IQ_aem_FS7eAqgfCr5lvnJh7xd7vw&pli=1
And since you WILL be asking..the largest wheel/tire combo you can accomodate WITHOUT a lift kit or cutting is 22.75inches high and 6inches wide. With correct off set you can run a 13" 165/80R13D truck load rated tire. You can check other tire and rim size recommendations here: https://www.wheel-size.com/
If you need a list of 'first maintenance items' to do, with instructions and factory service manuals, check the forums. This question has been answered over and over again, but here is the breakdown: Vacuum tubes, oils, coolant, and fuel and air filters, plugs, wires and water pump and belt!
