Well, I am getting close to placing my order for a Ujoint 4x4 DIY conversion Kit for my home built van Vandit I figured I would post on here and see if anyone had any suggestions or opinions about the components I am planning on. I did the same thing when doing my electrical system and it was super helpful, so figured I would do the same now that I am getting closer with the 4x4 stuff. Not looking to start any debates about different 4x4 conversions, just seeing if anyone has any opinions about anything I should plan on doing in addition to this to make things easier or better.
Wheels and Tires:
Additional items that will be needed to finish the conversion:
The next phase of the build will be bumpers.
