Damn, that's gotta be a PITA to reach way over each time you need 4wd.

So is it a requirement for it to be RHD? What are all the conversions needing to be done to meet AU standards?

Shit, I need to sell my truck to someone over there, and pocket the profit!!!

Welcome. Tough Decision but IMO 2500 Diesel would be my Choice for a fourth Gen and all the things Dave Said too. Diesel is Running 130 a Litre in Canada (26 More than Petrol) and our CAD is Running pretty well Par with the USD.

From what I can work out because its older than 1989 (I think it is) it needs to be converted. Plus seeing no steering wheel will confuse other drivers when they look inside at an intersection.

It needs, obviously a bunch of dashboard changes, new windscreen, possible new rear blinkers, windscreen wipers changed so the main swipe is on right hand side. Plus a bunch more

But yes, they sell for HEAPS here. I'm selling my "weekend car", see below, to cover the cost.
2006 NISSAN PATROL ST GU IV MY05 SUV Private Cars For Sale in VIC - carsales.com.au

Then when RAM arrives in country it takes 3 weeks to convert and comply. I will then sell my "daily driver".

Lots of fun ! Just need to sell my Nissan Patrol.

I have thought of converting one, selling it straight away then doing another.... tempting.

i agree with this plus it will make your conversion easier due to the SFA
