UJOR Build Thread

[ujoint]

Is the 4-lug pattern something new that you're experimenting with ? Personally, I like the idea. Saves time, trees, the environment, good job !

Yes. Major improvements in handling, acceleration & braking due to the lower unsprung weight

Fresh from Fiberine for AlphaVan.

That van is begging for a UJOR awakening!

Super nice van, close to me.

Our sPOD mounting bracket is in production, I've spent too much time putting these things all over in vans! This bracket works for 99% of vans and your switch panel mount is optional. I like this door panel setup but its a bit of work. I've got a prototype kick panel mount in V7 right now that also works and is visible from the drivers seat. Price is $89 for the Source mount.

Hey Chris, where do u get ur axle assemblies ? Do u sell them not all re-done (fresh from the yard) ha. Hope to get up ur way soon. I'm in Inman SC only 45min. Want to start my conversion part by part ! LOL

After having rebuilt a junkyard axle myself, I would pay Chris to do it in the future. Not that it was hard, just labor-intensive and a pain, and I still probably have over $2k into that front axle doing it myself. I'm glad I did it the first time to learn about it, but I don't look forward to ever rebuilding it.

Thanks, i just cant find any !! LOL. Yeah, trying to fig the best way to go bot this. If i had a monster bag of $$$$ i would drop van off and let him do it all... LOL. I want to just get front end in and rolling then rest in stages.

Nice bracket. Glad to know others(us) aren't crazy for also putting it in the engine bay(heat).

No reason why it wouldn't be. Many auto mfrs have their fuse box/relay box/power distribution center under the hood.
