Durango Full size; where are you?

[jeddards]

With the demise of the Adventurer Project (Dodge's version of the Suburban), Dodge isn't going to build a SUV of this size in the foreseeable future. I refuse to take my Plymouth to the race track being pulled by a GM. My 2001 Dodge Quad cab is more than capable of doing the job in every way but one: Seating my kids (4)! I've complained and whined all I can at Dim-bulb-Chrysler to no avail. My wife's Ex-Air Force '85 Dodge Crew Cab had 136,000 on it when it was "Re-powered" to a '94 360 EFI w/ 518 trans. It now has over 50,000 more miles on it and she won't give it up. It's getting a little tired and I want to put her in something a little more reliable. She says the new trucks (2002 4dr. & Durango) are smaller, and my favorite zinger, "what if we have one more?" are too much to bear. I want to put her in a '96 ish 2500 Dodge Cummins powered 4X4 4 dr. Adventurer with the seating capacity increased accordingly. But since they don't make it; somebody has to do it for me. The trick is which is more cost effective; having it made or being seen in a problem ridden Ford pulling my Plymouth?



Here's the main quetion:



Does anyone remember who/where the vendor is who was doing the conversions to turn the trucks into full size crew cabs and "Suburban" type vehicles?



Thanks,

Conversions

There are several around the country, and I've had a brain fart and can't remember the names. One is on I-35 just south of Ft. Worth, and several members live near it. One of them will pipe up and give you a name. The outfit that makes the SUV that I know about is in Michigan and I can't remember the name. Someone will. I don't know why we bring one in from Mexico from Dodge, we let every thing and everybody cross the border. Go a couple of miles east of Otay Messa and watch!
