Believe me it has crossed my mind. However, unlike the Explorer frames where Ford made it fairly easy for one to change between a 2wd and a 4wd suspension setup, Dodge is nowhere near as enlightened. It would take me days to just remove the 2wd part as it it welded to the frame even with a plasma cutter; it is not the fairly simple bolt on affair found on the Explorers. Besides I don't see a great need to throw money into what will become a giant nightmare when there are 4x4 frames out there aplenty that I can just do a body swap on.

I would prefer a short bed for off road use as well Kris, but then it would do me no good as a USEFUL truck to me necessitates the 8 foot bed. I know that you will have to have bigger tires and lift to clear a break over point than you would have to with an Explorer, but the trade off is a stronger frame, engine, and suspension which for use as a recovery vehicle it would be spot on.

Yikes. The super duty swap is pretty much bolt in, aside from having to remove some pesky rivets.

Super duty is still too long a wheel base.

The shortest is a mere 12" longer than yours.

I say we shorten a super duty take a short wheel base and move the rear axle 12-24" forward and make flat bed for it. Throw some 44s and an Exo cage

So basically just a trail rig only? If so good idea. I'm betting that the land rover is not that great a choice strictly monetarily speaking. You want to keep in mind ease of getting parts, being able to do the work yourself (ie: in the group), mods that are cheaper etc. Maybe like an older toyota 4runner or something?

Finding one in decent shape is pretty hard to find, although if you're truly serious I have a buddy that I worked with when I travled that lives in SA and has an older bronco that I think he's wanting to sell. If you're interested let me know and I can talk to him.
