Modifying your vehicle

[Crs]

Hey,

I'm after some Newbie advice here.

I've been looking for a cheap off-roading Rover. :lol:

I found a nice one down in Washington. It fits the bill, and has a good mechanical history. It has a 2" lift and a big bumper on the front with a winch. I thought importing it would be a doddle as it's a 1997 Disco I and over the 15 years old. However, Transport Canada says the car 'cannot be modified, except by normal repairs.' :shock:

Anyone have any more info on this? What are the regs here in BC for mods? How easily is a moded truck returned to 'stock' condition?

Any advice appreciated.

Cheers,

Craig

I brought one over (d90) last month. Neither side even looked at the vehicle... They just asked if I had the paperwork in order... It had a three inch lift and was running 33... As long as you don't have 35s or something on it I wouldn't worry. If you want any info let me know...

I agree, I doubt they will know (or care) on the border what is stock and what is modified .... as long as you have all the correct paperwork.

A lot of modified parts could of been dealer / factory supplied and fitted, so how do you even determine "modified"?

When I imported mine from the UK it came heavily modified... no issues. As long as your paperwork is all correct at the boarder I doubt you'll have any problems.... there more interested in finding drugs that if your truck has a 2" lift :wink:
