It's not like you would use the four wheel van for rock crawling...I believe it is a very worthy investment for what they offer, if you want to keep the vanability of a van...<br><br>I dream about it all the time, and I fully intend on having mine converted one day.<br><br>I want it mainly for the snow and mud that would occur in the Twisp are of Washington state, and for the ability to drive over fallen debris. I am a bit of a prepper, and having 4x4 is pretty darn necessary for a bug out vehicle type situation.<br><br>There are plenty of videos online of 4x4 vans doing their wheeling. Of course, having the option, lets you get even further from help if you need it...<br><br>I would just use mine for the slight off roading. Hiking further out, and having a dirt bike is something I want too...I want a whole lot of things attached to my van and future off road trailer! I am 28 years old...I have many years to get my new lifestyle in full swing, or full wheeling.<br><br>And the U-Joint Offroad company offers all of the indivdual pieces to start your own simple four-wheel conversions. Four wheel does not mean jacked up 6 inches in the air...but you can, if you want! Their packages start at something like $4000.<br><br>My van cost $1200.<br><br>If I had bought the U-Joint package I want, at the same time as the van, I would have a 4x4 van for the tiny sum of only $8200...that is a steal.<br><br>I would never throw away the cash on a fully converted, 4x4 Sportsmobile ORV.<br><br>If you like to tinker, you can save enough money in the long run to buy three or four vans.<br><br>Even if I end up buying a whole 'nother van, I would still keep my Dodge B3500, and just store it somewhere for a small fee. I don't believe in just selling vehicles to get a new one. There is always a place to store a great vehicle.
