Here ya go, it seems that when a company or importer wants to import a vehicle, then its inspected by the NHTSA and they determine if its similar enough to the US model and that its viable to alter it to meet the US spec and list what has to be done.....

Urban, post up the list for the DII. I'm just curious. The list for the D1 sounds so nit-picky I'm not sure it would be worth it. There also appears to be a lot of paperwork involved. I've been reading a little about it and some people are saying if everything is not correct you have the option to either crush the vehicle or send it back once they inspect it over here.
Do you think the shipper is going to ship it back to the original country for free?

No, I meant that you would have to pay to ship it back. My point was that you are pretty much screwed either way.

Ok, now find your truck, covert Euro's to USD's, add in $2000 for shipping, then the conversion to meet US laws...
Then try and tell me that you wont just buy a US model.
1 USD is about .76 Euro's.

current exchange rate is $1 = .67 euros. When we start printing more money to pay for obama's spending expect that rate to get MUCH worse. If you're going to import a rover you'd better do it now.
The average American family made 13% less money per year in 2007 than in 2000 but paid 35% MORE for health care in 2007 than in 2000.
Bush Jr. has been ranked in the top 5 worst Presidents for the US economy.
