I really don't need anything that long, plus the taxes on taking a rig into the USVI are based on weight. Importing is actually quite easy from the UK.

Just seems wrong to drive on the other side of the road in a LHD rig. I doubt they're going to change (cars or direction) anytime soon.

I had an FJ when they first came out. Didn't like it. Saw a few down there, but the visibility & rear seat access really suck, plus they don't offer it in a diesel.

As for maintenance, I plan to bring the rig into the US first, get it set up the way I want, then ship it down there.
