Might take my VX to Japan

[Marlin]

Isn't it harder to bring a vehicle back to the States due to DOT safety requirements? One thing that pops into my head is the side marker lights need to be on the corner. I think Chris is right to rather take his 3.5 powered and personally modified VX with him and look for a JDM transfer case... or five... to swap in US spec VX's.

Who knows what I could find over there, and I believe you are correct about bringing their model back. No can do, unless it was a pure ORV. I could do that, would be easy in Utah with their new licensing requirements.
As for taking mine, Uncle Sam foots the bill, so no worries there.
