anybody else wanna make one of these?

[cletz97]

i would love one of those. how much does the conversion cost?

[Rocko]

Depends, you want to buy just a kit or a pre-mande one, or perhaps one for mining? A company called Industrail Fabraction Inc. makes one. They call it the MINECAT UT99

Now that is sick hahah
I would like to do it myself but i know i would be  after a couple of days
it would be cool to own one tho i have always wanted a jeep with a truck bed.
how much do they kits go for? and the pre made ones

[chardrc]

i would love to make one of those.. but time and money will ultimately prevent me...

I can find a better way to spend 9k on my rig.

Google says $8995 for the conversion kit. Now for the whole shebang I can't seem to find it. But I know I saw it somewhere.

Yep $9K.

[Jeffy]

$9K would get me some new D60's and a fresh suspension.  Brute who?

[Tsd]

I think they look cool, but for 9k I prefer an old man emu suspension + safari snorkel + rear/front D44 with lockers + new tires and i think i still would have some cash left

It only had 3 gears though.  I do like the utilitarian look of it though.

Could drop a new transmission it? But I like the turbo deisel.

not sure on price, but they are selling the kits quite well on quadratec's site...

i'd love to have one, but instead of wasting my own money, my rescue squad is looking for an off-road S.A.R. vehicle, and i'm gonna recommend this. easy enough to slap in a stretcher lock and throw a fiberglass cover on it.

As a SAR it might be OK BUT then you could probably do the same with a Rubicon TJ Unlimited or even a Rubicon JK Unlimited.  Or you could take either as a Sport model and add the D60 to it for less.  These kits require you to cut the frame in two and weld in extensions infront of the rear tires.  Then the back gets extended.  So you'll want an experienced welder.  Probably someone certified.

Since it would be a specialized Govt vehicle. you might see if they can order a J8.  That's the military version of the JK with the Dana 60.  I think that would probably be better since it had a much higher load capacity.  That's the reason for it having leaf springs in the rear.
