Please enjoy this introduction to Hail Mary's 4x4 van conversion where I document the different steps in turning a 2 wheel drive shuttle bus into a 4x4 beast on 41" military tires! Follow along as I work with Traction Offroad LLC in Camarillo, CA where owner Tommy Arms flawlessly tackles a daunting project most shops would never attempt. Hail Mary info can be found on instagram @aux_built and Traction Offroad can be found @Traction.Offroad as well.
