Supertramp Paragon - Turnkey camper - Hardsided camper and 8' bed pickup

What about a Sprinter with a Iglhaut 4WD conversion (full-time 4WD, new suspension, three lockers, etc.)? Yes it's expensive, and yes you have to ship it to and from Germany. However (diesel engine issues aside), if you're in the roughly $300K market, could this be a contender for the Goldilocks Award (comfort vs. off-roading) along with the Paragon?

From your link:
1. Heavy-duty front axle and independent suspension upgrade with 4 inches of lift over stock
2. Available front differential lock (driver selectable)
3. All-new transfer case with 2.5:1 low range and locking center differential (driver selectable)
4. Standard and optional skid plate packages
5. 35-inch tire standard fitment, 37-inch tire option
6. Snorkel with pre-filter (separator)
7. Optional big brake package
8. Optional adjustable coil-over suspension system with remote reservoir
9. Larger fuel tanks, up to 170 liters (45 gallons)

So I would say yes great balance of livability and offroad capability. I did not know 37in was doable on a sprinter. And this transfer case ratio is great too. Now the whole coming from Germany thing sounds like a hassle big enough that I would probably just be content with Full van compass shocks + upgraded leaf package + 34in tires, again with the logic being size and weight of those rigs would be what limits me most often offroad.

Where are pictures of your Tune build? Thank You.

I have to take good pics and maybe a walkaround video. If and when I do, I will post in an appropriate location not here on the Paragon thread.

@jaywo Thanks for the further info on the LTVL video. I didn't study the video hard enough to watch for LR-RR wheelspin rates to determine if it had a full locking diff. This video must have been before he upgraded the rear to an ARB air locker. He (Chad) is a king in the eyes of many Sprinter owners.

Your F150 Tremor sounds well setup--awesome! Would be quite the jump from your lightweight rig @ 3tons to something weighing in @ 6tons.

As of a few years ago it was at least $75k for the conversion. I can't remember if that was including some shipping to or from Germany, but all in all, it's some serious $$$. Quite capable yes, and triple diff locks is mega cool. AND you can tell your buddies that you have a SprinterCruiser as I believe they're still using LandCruiser drivetrain parts in the conversion.
