Our U-Joint 2022 27' Coachman Leprechaun 4x4 conversion


Recommended Posts

A week ago after a 14 month waiting period we dropped off our RV to U-Joint in Fletcher NC for a custom 4x4 conversion and lift.

Also getting a new front bumper with lights, winch and hitch, and new rear bumper with swing out spare tire, hitch and storage tray.

 

They've been working on it for a few days and sending me a photo record of the job

 

Here's the before

Waiting now on the custom driveshaft to be built and installed, they need to build and install the front and rear bumpers, then the extensive testing they put it through.

Still have a while before we can pick it up
