Stupid question, I know. But friend of mine insists I ask.
Anyone done it? Any comments on its feasibility?

Well.. Suzuki did it... Seems like the most logical thing to do to a Hi-jet.. Can't think of a better vehicle to convert.

4X4 Carry vans... Exactly the same but very different...
Actually.. didn't Hi-jet's come out in a 4WD variant

4X4 HiJets were sold in Australia. I had a very old overlander magazine (86?) where they compared the hijet 4WD to the sierra trayback.

Seen a few of em while touring in tassie a few years back at some of the wineries there (down freyjacint peninsulla way )
Would be a pretty useful little jigger on a farm or simmilar. I THINK they may have been turbo diesals as well.

And 12" offroad tyres aren't even a problem. Just pinch some off a bobcat.
He needs a better engine though
EDIT: Just looked at quadtrucks.com, very interesting.
