Short answer. Vehicle must be 25 + years old to enter USA. That does not mean a state must, can or will register it for the road.

Hmmm, ya, your right, Turkish. Though it is referred to as a URAL, coincidence or a licensing arrangement?

Armor would be a minor compared to that this is a modern truck and with current laws not eligible to import for another 20+ years, and by then EPA laws will probably exclude everything :twisted:

Don't forget the six-figure price tag on top of it all.

Even if it's brand-new, you could import it, if you did it through a NHTSA-authorized importer. They'd have to petition NHTSA to determine how, and if, it could be modified to meet FMVSS. If it could, they would have to perform those modifications within the specified time period and then it would be released to you. Then there's the cost...

In fact, when you write to NHTSA they sort of discourage you from trying, simply because of the tremendous costs often involved.

You could if you want to buy samples to crash test. I talked with with one of those importers 4 years ago and that was one of the requirements he wasn't sure if a single vehicle could be exempt from and gave me a phone # to his long time friend on Mount DOT. Surprisingly (actually, totally shocked :shock: ) he answered the phone and we had decent phone conversation. He didn't see any exemption for the crash test , Since the vehicle was already in the country, he did offer up states to where their DMV didn't ready care. :roll: At the time, the importer wasn't concern about EPA or CARB since the engine was one he had no problem certifying . I could just imagine the expense to try to certify either a Russian or Turkish engine here, (especially a military one).

Possible. All I know is that these are really cool looking. Would be a gas guzzler but worth it

Theoretically I could pay for it. Obviously no MG on the top. Not even a mount.
