    Get ahold of a company in Denver called left hand utes. They specialize in importing and converting the utes to be legal in the states. I'd give them a ring and see what can and can't be done. If you can't get that one maybe you can get a us spec one converted and good to go when you get back where bald eagles are born.

      You are sort of right... It depends on how you import it. You can import it in pieces and be legal. You can't import it complete in the same container. For instance a block and trans in one container a head in another as well as the electronics and misc parts in the other. Then you can sell the pieces.
