Well I know they can move the key pad to the other side but how you could integrate two pads into the system is probably another thing.

Guten Tag

One of these is not like the others...

 

[tfung]

very cool! Was wondering who did your conversion from LHD to RHD?

 

[Jigks]

Shogun conversions did mine. There are several companies that do them here for the Australian market but through my research I chose Shogun.

I've always been amazed at how good some of those companies are at converting vehicles to RHD. I'm curious as to the cost versus benefit though?

 

[Jigks]

Yes I look at mine and you don't realize how much actually has to be changed or modified to convert it over. Apart from the obvious there are so many little details. The cost is literally probably double what you buy it for in the states. Of course the extra cost is not all the conversion but freight, taxes and duties that are applicable in Australia. Nevertheless it is expensive but there is no other truck like the Raptor available in Australia off the shelf.

Wow! Incredible work. I can barely stand taking the door panels/other interior pieces off and working on stuff. I can only imagine doing the entire interior to swap the wheel over as well as cutting the firewall for the steering column and modding the steering rack. Then you have the pedals and electronics. I know the volume knob for the stereo is usually on the driver side? Did they swap that over as well? That seems like it would take some getting used to.

I will take some photos and post them here soon so you guys can have a giggle at looking at things the wrong way round. The volume knob unfortunately is in the same place but at least things like the gearshift, 4wd knob and trailer control have been switched. Some converters leave those where they are so you have the drink holder and the 12v power next to you verses the gear stick etc!
