Finally did it. Traded in the Dodge Ram for an H2. Got a very good deal on a 2004 H2SUV adventure package, sun roof, ... And, it has a perfect LPG installation (cheaper gas, available in Europe).
Here's some pics, that are on my Dtw site. I'll be driving it end next week. Can't wait !!!

Nice man! Congrats on the ride! 
Pardon my ignorance, but what is an LPG? Laser propelled grenade?

Yep Vtstomper. That's it. Regular gas is getting way too expensive over here in Europe, so it's better to drive on LPG. Especially with big american trucks like Dodge, Chevy, Hummer, Ford, ... My Dodge Ram was LPG too and it ran PERFECT !! Never had any problems with it. And, with one switch of a button (even while driving), you can switch to regular gas.
And, LPG is available at most gasstations in Europe.

That is pretty cool! I have only seen that done on propane delivery trucks over here...or trucks that belong to propane companies.

Timster, I'm taking the US Import stickers off. They belong to the guy who imported the H2.
Ernie Italy,
the LPG tank is in the trunk. I keep the spare tire in my company. I don't do many kilometres (about 9000 a year), and don't drive far from where I live (so I don't need the spare, and I've got the air compressor that I can use to inflate a tire, if necessary).
I don't know the specific details about the LPG tank yet (since I'll only be getting the truck beginning next week, it still has to go to inspection, get the right insurance, ... the usual paperwork...).
but, I indeed know that you can swich to regular gasoline with just a switch of a button, which is located next to the steering wheel (left side, where you also see how much LPG you have left).
The tank I had in my dodge was the biggest available (over 200 ltrs). Installed that one in the back of my bed (pick up truck, looots of place) check it out : http://www.dtwtrucks.com/Frenzy

Something I had been wanting to look into is LPG.
Does anyone have any idea how it would or if it will work under forced induction pushing for HP and torque. You know detonation problems etc.
I'm very interested in this idea. I know I can get info but, thought someone may be knowledgeable to clue me in quickly.
Thanks
TAZ
