A little update and sneak peak. I've put in some long hours, prob more than the 4x4 conversion but i think it's all been worth it. There were a few things that bothered me "cosmetically" that i wanted to take care of. The original decals were cracked and pealing, there were lots of hairline cosmetic gelcoat cracks, the blinds were loud flapping metal ones, and have always wanted to do a mirror conversion, rear springs/lift never matched up to the front lift and have been using air bags to cover the extra 2" to level the unit at max PSI, not the best by all means. etc.
So took an eraser wheel and removed all the original decals, gridded out every gelcoat crack, repaired and sanded the entire coach smooth. Even though the repair was smooth you could still see visually where the repair was made so i knew i either had to repaint the entire coach or wrap it. Wraps are very durable and cost effective compared to a repaint and then to paint a design on. Another reason I settled on a wrap is that this unit is stored in a heated shop everyday of its life except for the trips we go on, so the wrap will last very long time for me. I sent my brother some ideas to put together a design and i love what he came up with. A combination of new mixed in with a little original "old". The old mirrors would flip around in the wind, so i replaced them with newer modern Velvac mirrors, painted to match. I also ordered new Day/Night shades, they look and work fantastic. Also had new rear springs built so now the air bags are just helpers if i'm ever towing. Handles amazing with the reduced top end sway back and forth.
Lots of other little details but i think its really changed it and modernized it.
I will get other pics as soon as i get out and put it to use.
