    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.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    Yep, in exchange, I leave my family months at a time to run the nuclear reactor onboard whatever assigned aircraft carrier I am on

    Also keep in mind that you are about to foot the bill for millions of unemployed, and illegal non tax paying person's health care, and not to mention the billions spent so that people could get nice new cars on your dime in an effort to keep afloat car companies that have created sub standard vehicles for decades.
    Sorry, my thread, I can jack it

    I didn't want to pop the news too soon pending the transaction, but I am buying another VX. It has a cracked block, so I will have parts available soon. I may track down an engine and get it running again, but it is an ebony with black on red, cosmetically sound. I will start a new thread when I am done and decided what I will do.

    Love the way you think, but -


    Your carbon credits would all go up in smoke when "she who must be obeyed" found out and heaped all your belongings on the front lawn and made a bonfire out of them.
