UJOR Build Thread

[ujoint]

Welcome T1 to the UJ family! 2016 3.7, parts are already on the way and we'll have the 1st few upgrades done later this week or early next. We'll start with a VanCompass 2wd lift, our roof rack, some lighting upgrades and then we'll start the interior. We'll continue to develop new parts for it like OBA, front light bar, etc.

Tires are being mounted as we type. I've already gone over budget so no fancy wheels for now!

... I've already gone over budget so no fancy wheels for now!

What is this word you've used here? I do not know what this means...

This tent will wind up on the Transit but for now it will be on V4 so I have somewhere to sleep at the Mid Atlantic Overland Festival next weekend in PA!

lol. My employees think that when I say "budget" it means "spend all the $$"

My wife said that I should reduce the shop vehicle budget just a bit so I said "sure"...after I bought a custom squarebody Chevy truck. It is exempt from the new restrictions. I can't wait to put an LSA or LS9 in it.

The truck was on the cover and featured in the December 1993 issue of Sport Truck magazine. My old boss at the street rod shop I worked for in college built it between 1988-92. Part of my job at the shop was keeping this truck maintained and show ready. It was a daily driver for him for years... been sitting for 11 years now. A little tattered but I'm bringing it back to life and updating some of the cheesy 90's stuff (in my spare time).

Ok...back to vans...

For our leaf kit yes, covers the shifter install too.

Well, even if it only helps with my shifter install, it would still be helpful, send it my way.


Thanks

Now I ask you....... What is this phrase you have used?!?!? Ha

 

[Bbasso]

What truck in the magazine? :drool:

 

[patoz]

I'd give that 1st. place too, and the truck's not bad either! :agree:

Teardown! Fun build going to CA.

These 2 are headed home today

Is it just me or does anybody else not get only these pics from Chris/ U-Joint? Love seeing all the pics and progress.
Transit U-Joint 4X4..... oh boy.

We'll start with a VanCompass 2wd lift....

Is this 2.5" VanCompass lift going be the highest lift possible on the transit? spoiled by the look of the 6" lift on 35s and want something similar with the Transit I'm eventually going to move into.

Also I've seen/read others put on spacers to have a wider selection of wheels to run, have any plans to do something similar?

in 2wd form I'd say yes.
