Help me out here my man what is the meaning of OZ and what does alice mean? Because if this is true. I will stop looking at rovers now that are right hand drive and just keep the JK and ship it over when I move. This will save me a lot of money in the long run. I am just worried about customs. My girlfriend is from there, and she tells me I cannot export a left hand drive car. I dont' if she knows this. But I hope she is wrong. Help me out here my man.

Moving to australia? cool, maybe not. I don't think you can own firearms there anymore, too bad. If going it would be a better idea to cash out and buy there. No custom problems local dealer, spare parts, ect. Good luck.

IF u can take the JK with u then i say lift, tires, exhaust and snorkel (once they make them for us)... not an intake, to much dust for a cone filter.
If u cant take it over, i wouldnt buy anything. Bank to money, keep your Rubi in top shape, sell if before u leave (private sell not dealer obviously) then we u move u got hopefully some money left over from ur sell and paying ur loan off and then the other money in the bank to buy 4x4 when u get down there

1) Your JK is going to be way cooler in Au than a d90 would be. (and IMO is way cooler all around)
2) d90s even when they do have a warrently spend more time in the shop than they do on the road ( best friend had one for several years, got rid of it and got a FJ40. even though the 40 was 25 years older than the d90 it was more reliable...and then they swaped in a v8 and it all changed )
3) As far as offroading goes (and depending on what type of JK you have) your JK is either going to be just a comperable offroad or better than a D90.
cant say much about the CJ, becuase it all depends on how its been build and all that stuff,....
Don't get me wrong I like d90's (I especially like 110's), but haveing experiance with both vehicles I would stick to the JK.
anyway theirs my .02 .
