I don't think people are hating. Most people just don't want to go through the hassle of doing a conversion if it's easier to go buy a 4x4 instead, even though it may cost a bit more. But, maybe a conversion is easy for you. Hey, if you're all about saving some money and have the time then more power to you.

It's such a simple bolt on job, but i understand if your not mechanically inclined an you have to pay someone to do it you would probably loose money.
