Newly converted...

For those of you interested in four wheel drive conversions...here is one just posted from Kamloops Light Truck.

I see it has slide(s)..not my cuppa wine...slides in a 4x4..all
the twisting and bending looks like a nasty bit of surprise to me.





And for the gear heads...

    I see 2017 Jayco's at $60,000. The conversion is probably 35,000. Brings it to 95,000...now take off 30% if the owner is from the US. Sure a lot less that the 250,000 for an Earthroamer. And, you get a full sized black water tank....not the 5 gallon cassette.

    Curious what's the price on that rig, currently looking at Earthroamer and Expedition RV's.

    Ah but there is always my beer budget in the way.

    Nice to see someone can enjoy this.

    Is there a low range in the transfer case? Did the gear ratio change with larger tires?


    I know the shop where it was done..same as mine and for sure, there will be a low range.

    I've seen RVs with 1 whole side a slide. I've wonder how they hold up without becoming a twisted mess.

    It might keep you rolling when a conventional C would bog down.
