DIY 4x4 Conversion & Introduction

[winnievan]

Beautiful van! I'm waiting for the border to open to get my Tufport install done... they said I could get it towed across -- but it'd add a lot to the bill.

Maybe I'll just stay in Canada. I played hockey around Vancouver and BC for years -- I loved it there!!

How much is a front bumper???

Awesome build thread and fantastic work. Enjoying following along, hope you find a van for yourself.

Agreed, this is a beautiful van. That is the top I continue to consider switching to one of these days. Nice work!

I was curious if you considered Mostaliner instead of line-x? I ask because I think that's what I'll be painting my van with as it's a little less bed liner aggressive.

Are you considering making more kits ?
Your work looks tight.

[SteelheadJones]

Agreed, and wondering the same. Also very curious about your fuel tank 2.0.

I have a Crow Conversion, I've been super happy with it. I've put a lot of highway miles as well as some Moab miles. It's always been great. That being said I've ran into a problem the last snow storm in my area on October 25th. I had somebody pull in front of me on a very icy road. I ended up rolling it, it was a slow roll as I was only going about 35/40 mph down the highway. Still being a 2001 I'm fighting the insurance on valuation.
I've been trying to search for Javier to see if he has any receipt records as my e-bay purchase does not qualify. If I can give a receipt they're willing to increase the replacement value of $6,500. Dang a receipt for any conversion with the lift, roof rack, heavy front and rear bumpers with the 4x4 that somebody would be willing to share with me, maybe I could use as a basis for my argument on cost.
Thanks, here's a couple pics of my rig 🙂

You should be able to find plenty of comps online

[trackman93]

Yes, I sent about 10 examples, they want receipts. When they came up with comps I went to the car dealerships they found the comps for, not even close.
Then on the comps they made additions and subtractions, because I have the 7.3 diesel they subtracted $500, I was like shouldn’t that be an addition?
Anyways it’d be awesome if I could get in tou h with Javier and get an estimate of my conversion
