Importing Euro Rangers to the States

[wrecking-crew]

I didn't think it through that far.

LOl!!! I don't think so. I could have lost the bike altogether and I would never have the right to fight for it since it was illegal to bring it into the states. I could have got into a lot of legal trouble. You will never get that Ranger out of the country. It will never be able to get a title in the USA due to the darn VIN #.

Or you could do it the legal way and it might make it over.

You can pay enough to make it happen.

i thought it was due to truck tax. that the man has a import tax on foreign trucks to keep them anti competitive here in the states.
i mean come on, how is the chevy s-10 4 door any safer in a roll over then the ranger 4 door

 

[master hec0]

just store one in iraq for me..... in 2019 i could legally import it into canada.

IF theres a will theres a way, just like i know a kid whos got a nissan skyline over here. Imported straight from japan.

How would you buy parts for that truck if you were even able to get it into the United States?

 

[nine-teen91stxranger]

just tear the motor down and ship it over in peices, and reassemble it back here and all the wiring and stuff needed for the motor to run and wala. new diesel ranger.

Maybe this'll work: I'd have someone in Texas find a junk Ranger from the same approximate year that doesn't have a salvage or flood title, (blown motor or something) register it in Texas, get insurance on it, and then pry it's VIN tags off and mail them to you along with the title, plates, registration, insurance card, etc. Leave the Iraqi VIN numbers on it and ship it to Canada or Mexico that way. Then put the American Ranger's VIN tags on, the plates and everything and drive it across the border. You were "on vacation" and now you're headed home.

Just one question: is the steering wheel on the right? That would cause problems at the border and if you ever get pulled over in the states.

If you can't take the whole truck, though, at least grab that 2.9L diesel and ship it home!!! I'd love to have a 2.9L diesel. (and wiring harness) I wonder if it would bolt right it or if I'd need some crazy foreign trans for it?

Probably have to mail order them from Europe.

From what I remember reading, has to do with the "A" pillar of the cab not haviing the strength in something like a rollover. Just a shame there is no happy meeting ground with what they have and what we want.

I wouldn't expect his SuperCrew Ranger to be any more/less capable in a rollover than a US Ranger.

And, if he had the money to disassemble the truck & ship it over, he could ship the engine, cab & the bed over & just slap 'em on a US model frame. All of the Ranger SC pictures I've seen show the longer cab with the sawed-off bed.

Probably not worth all the trouble just for a crew-cab. I'd just yank that diesel and it's wiring harness, and grab the trans if it's different than what we've got here. Seeing that it's a 2.9L it might use the same block as the gas 2.9L. The crankshaft might be thicker though, you never know.

Good Luck, I hope she makes it over
