Whitefeather 4x4 no longer converting

[SootyCamper]

Confirmed today that Craig at Whitefeather is retiring (congrats!) and will no longer be offering conversions for Sprinters. Truly a bittersweet day in the van world as we lose a great resource in the community.

Looks like the only option for a true 4x4 Sprinter is Iglhaut(eye wateringly expensive). Fingers crossed someone stateside sees the opportunity as the van market is massive.

The AWD version makes the conversion to 4wd a waste of time and money, especially with a rear locker.

Does the 4x4 conversion have low range? What about the AWD?

Yeah all the Whitefeather conversions basically put F350 running gear under the sprinter with a 2 speed transfer case. Lockers front and rear optional.

I test drove a 2024 cargo 144 awd yesterday and was surprised how planted it felt. I agree with the innovation a Solid axle 4x4 conversion seems a bit antiquated. I know that Agile Offroad is in the works with Atlas Transfer cases to put a true 50/50 split TC in the sprinter. I guess its just a waiting game.

The awd is a 9 speed with a low 1st gear
