Derrin, Have you taken a look under the hood of these or tried to
assess the similarities and differences to the american flatfender
jeeps?
If there was an easy way to swap the steering over to the left and
find an old willys title to falsely register the japanese jeep under it
would seem like a relatively easy matter to have a turbodiesel
flatfender on american roads.
The biggest uncertainty I see is finding parts for one of these as
things wear out. I am guessing the body looks similar but beyond that
the drivetrain and accessories are totally different.
I am not sure what laws one would be guilty of violating in the
process but it seems like it would be easy to do.
I wonder if you could bring your old american willys plates and current
registration with you and drive it home from Canada or if the customs
guys would see right through it???

Hello Techers. I thought you might find this intersting. These guys are
about 25 minutes away from me. This is on Vancouver Island, in British
Columbia, Canada. They have been doing a thriving business. In no way
affilliated, just seeing a lot of their imports on the roads around
here.
