I have owned 2 US versions and currently just own 1. As of september I had it safetied here in MB for road use. runs like a dream, parts are VERY easy to get as the US had the same design with minor changes since the 50's.
A few of you need to think about what you are doing however. The US declared a few years back that they would not release the titles on their vehicles except in certain states and that exception was ONLY for vehicles dated 1975 and older. (alabama being one of those states) This means that if you are not an american citizen you can not get them across the border (NO TITLE) unless you bought from one of I think 5 states and your vehicle was dated 1975 or older. Your dreams of buying a US unit and swapping the VIN will likely not work and if you get caught your ass will be nailed to a very high stick.
Next hiccup is an article on Steelsoldiers.com that I read. As of Jan 1 2009 the US declared that it would no longer release their military vehicles to ANY private hands. They will all be scrapped from now on. So the MLVW may be your only option if you want a 'deuce' . Parts however are still going to be readily available.
