Kap landmaster was created by Lambert
Hi, typically I have just nicely got the Jimny to where i am reasonably happy with it and BOOM! Management have taken it into their heads that a pickup conversion is the best idea in the world. It strikes me as a not unreasonable idea as it would afford more farm friendly serviceability from the back. It will absolutely not be one on the monster floatation tyres, it would be my nice road biased one but with a flat bed. I am being very cautious about the idea. Am I right to be apprehensive or should I be grasping the opportunity with both hands?

The KAP ones are a nut 'n' bolt ground up rebuild.....
I'm not familiar with the cost of typical farm atv/utv/mule type vehicles but I suspect that a landmaster is of similar value a lot more comfortable and just as useful.
Assuming the KAP ones have been properly rust proofed, I feel they represent reasonable value

I think the plan is to convert mine rather than buy a rebuilt one.

There was a firm on Facebook the other day quoting £4000 to have your own Jimny made into pickup they made a six wheel one ill see if I can track them down.

Wouldn't you get more in a trailer?

That's an interesting proposal
Assuming you personally own the vehicle and agree to the conversion I'd insist on getting it done by someone that's experienced with doing that type of conversion. Anything less may negatively effect the value of the vehicle.
