- CrabbypattyExplorerThere is a company called Quigly(sp) that does conversions. Buy a C and have them 4wd it. I have seen a couple of class c's drive down the beach. Looks very interesting to me as well..
- turbobricklayerExploreri see ujoint is now offering coil kits
- turbobricklayerExplorergot that Gary, Thanks
- turbobricklayerExplorerso ,to convert or not to convert, I'm from Pa. and looked into getting a reconsr. title to keep a conversion legal , would need a letter from ford and so on , not feasable. i think i could still get it inspected but anyhow i just like the idea of having fwd' cant say how many times my dump truck got stuck when a front wheel turning would have pulled it right out. i also would rather travel out west and camp out in the blm lands where 2wd might be questionable. flat towing a jeep is an option until you find yourself in a situation where u need to back up in a city or tight gas station. Plus could convert the c much cheaper than aquiring a reliable jeep with all the towing jazz you would need. I would be interested in any one who installed ujoints parts and any problems with inspections. Btw that is a nice bumper and winch set up... just adds a little more confidence to getting off the pavement

I came up "Deleted" but anyhow, there are those (probably many) who refer to any coach as a "Winnebago."
Some brand names become nouns and verbs. Like:
"I'll FedEx it to you."
"I was Hoovering and didn't hear the doorbell." - garyhauptExplorer

completely right on the three point mounting, Chris at Ujoint did his flat bed van that way . I would rather have the 450 but am stuck with what i have (cant trade because of the extensive water damage on it). Four wd on this would be just to get out of a bad situation but some times it still maybe wouldnt be enough, maybe not even worth it. An air locker and a set of chains might be the way, like you said a coach will not take much twisting at all
I too am in that place...I have what I have. I bought mine sight un-seen because I wanted it. If I had endless bucks, I would order up an 450..or an Expedition..but I am just a retired guy that works with what he has. I will say too..lots of folks have suggestions about what someone else should buy. THEY have nothing..or close to it.
I have a couple 4x4'ing videos up.

- garyhauptExplorerI drive mine quite conservatively. I run 90-95 k..that's the sweet spot. There is no doubt that driving a 6" raised RV is not a road hugging experience. The driver has to pay attention. It is a trade off, of sorts. I can and do go places that few RV's can. I like that I can do that. Snow, sand, mud...ditches and creeks..if there is a track, I am on it. That is the trade-off.
