an
LBC, full of tools and new breakdown parts?
I don't know much about Canada, but Mexico gets pretty excited about a big
box of tools. They fear you are going down to take a mechanics job.....yeah,
right. Coming back to the US with practically anything non-pharmaceutical is
relatively easy..oh and no avocados, sausages, live birds, etc. There are
8-9 different agencies at the border than can stop you from entering. Don't
get me started on US Customs.
Also, and I was in Mexico last night, NEVER take a firearm or any sort of
ammunition across the border, even by accident, unless you'd like to see the
inside of a Mexican prison.
