Here is the new dump conversion kit from Bad Dog. Hands down this is the best kit I have seen. Dump Conversion on Web Store Watch the video on YouTube
No the price is not set yet but it is certainly more than $400. The shipping is set at $400 on the web store but I will modify it very soon when I have the sales price. It is not the cheapest dump conversion but well wroth it and still a great value. Stay tuned for more.
Or you could just get a hold of one of the guys still importing and just buy one with the factory dump on it
You have a point. A factory dump, well used to be, cheaper. The problem with that logic is that the % of dumps in existence from the factory in Japan is a VERY low percentage. Also if you order a dump in Japan what are you going to do with it? Well you are going to use the hell out of it and when selling it they are generally a beat up rusty mess (exceptions of course).
If I could get my hands on a demo unit, I would be willing to beat the hell out of it and let you know if it becomes a rusty mess Impartial kit assesment... ..
The construction is quality. Yes you will be able to beat the hell out of it if you try but at least you won't start out with a mess! lol
Where I live and with firewood being the norm every year, I know for a fact I would use the heck out of it and would not care if it got beat up a little or not. Matter of fact, I have looked at a couple sites with the new Suz's with a dump truck looking bed on them, and if I could ever get money right that is the truck I would want, well actually I would and could use two. When I bought the ranger truck I now drive a few years ago, I bought it with the intention of using it. No good sitting in the drive and not being used. Of course, that is me. I also like seeing the "good Looking" trucks, and know that some day...................ah........dreamin again.lol DannyM
