My 15 minutes of Fame...

Last May Four Wheeler Magazine invited 20 participants to do a 4 day overland/off-road trip from Lake Powell to Moab and I was lucky enough to be one of them. Over the last several months, they have featured the trip and the participant's vehicles on their web-site and in their print magazine.

They just posted the feature of my van on their web-site:

https://www.motortrend.com/events/uj...50-camper-van/

The van was dubbed "The Taj Mahal" on the trip. It was funny to see people's reactions to the amount of space provided by a van with a penthouse top.

That pretty cool - You probably just added 5-10% markup on these rigs.

Very nice. I wasn't aware that Ujoint used CV joints rather than Ujoints.
