Well I rescued this today she's bound for the USA flat as when I went to pick her up not even a glimmer but the twin Optima D31's so had her heart beating again.

I have to make her fit 18 Cubic Meters currently she's slightly over:doh: Then off to the USA

2H Diesel High Line Troopy
 
It is. It's been an F-ing nightmare. You'd figure after 3 years of importing that I'd dealt with everything. Not the end of the world but it's the last one and I'm keeping it.

Matt is helping me out huge since the seller moved far away and sort of left it. Matt lived 3 miles from the truck luckily. I officially owe Matt big time!

The extra roof height, the lift, and the bumper makes it over the 18 cubic meter maximum size. This takes the shipping costs from $2200 up to $6K. Gonna take the kangaroo crusher off and maybe lower the rear springs if necessary. Perhaps some roller-skate wheels would help too.

It should get here in december then it'll be the snow wench. (horrible joke)

May be fill the thing up with kangaroo crushers and sell them of to help pay shipping cost. I know I would like to have one for my FJ45LPB. I sure other fell the same. That is if the price was right.

You can get away with putting a few things in the back but if you load it up the boat company gets pissed off and gives you a hard time. I could use a set of troopy seats and plenty of diesel parts I'm sure. Maybe I'll hit eBay and see what I can scrounge.
 
Hi
Your paying to much if your paying 2200 first off, and secondly put smaller tires on it to get it around the 18 mark . My broker got my camper on for me and it was a littlle under 19 mark. If you need my help I can give you his number and maybe you can get it here.Oh one other thing the vessels are filling up with s*** from japan so it's possible you might not be able to get it on a Wilhelms vessel. If you check out the container route and you get 2 cruisers you will not pay that much more then the Ro"ro and it will only take about 38 days instead of 51.
