Where are you going to take something this big that needs 4wd?

"Need" 4wd? No.
Need Disc Brakes? Eliminate 10 lug (in this case 5 & 10) split rim wheels? ABSOLUTELY YES.

I can't speak to others but I am building a fun family cruiser/camper rig and while I may never "need" the 4 wheel drive, it is good to know that it is there as well as while in the process of upgrading the drivetrain, better off upgrading to something that is better suited to todays standards with regards to safety and/or parts replacement.

Also this rig only has 127" wheelbase, so it really isn't that "big" overall. She'll just be a little hefty.
