4x4 conversion on my 2000 SMB

Just dropped my van off Friday. I'll be without it for about 2 weeks When I get her back, she'll be 4wd though.
I'm having the work done at a local shop here in Durango and I'll post the pics and details after I get back from a week in NY for work

Trouble? In NY without the wife or in the 4x4 SMB? Sooo much trouble and so little time....

Re: 4x4 conversion on my 2000 SMB

Is that their own conversion, or is it a U-Joint conversion?

Looks like the fronts are pushed forward as far as they can go.

Looks Great!

Out of curiosity, what is the thing that looks maybe like a drawer front on the drivers side under the body behind the propane access door?
