About to join the group
Tomorrow is the big day! I fly from Buffalo to Austin to pick up my new to me X! Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen, everyone has gone out of their way to provide great advice and support throughout this crazy journey 
Special thanks to Nicmike for doing a vehicle inspection that would put ANY vehicle inspection service out there to shame. I Look forward to meeting you in person.

Really excited to be getting it!
I just found out that the queenston/lewiston border crossing in buffalo where I plan to cross is only open for vehicle exports monday through friday 8-4 unlike the crossing in detroit/windsor that is open 24/7
Just means I'm actually going to have to drive not have a great little road trip my original plan was to Start out on thursday and cross at dinner time on sunday. Modified plan is Depart wednesday after lunch with Mike and get to the border crossing by 3pm on friday

Actually unless I'm horribly misinformed I really need next to nothing to import. I've made so many calls it's scary. all I need is the bill of sale and the title. You have to send the vehicle information to US customs at least 72 hours before you cross. On the Canadian side I have to pay my taxes and a fee to have the vehicle registered and inspected. I have 45 days to get it up to Canadian safety standards (only daytime running lights)

The speedometers all have both scales on them so no need to replace it. Just need daytime running lights.

Great to hear, John. I knew you would be loving that thing. Now you know the rest of us aren't just blowing diesel smoke when we talk about our MPGs in these monsters! Again, don't let your wife drive it! You will never see the driver's seat again...
