FF D60 headed out to UT. The Semi float under his SMB threw in the towel.

Headed home to MO Monday! 2012 E350 5.4, 6" on 35s, Stage 2 front with RSC upgrade, ARB in the rear, 4.56s. Love the simplicity.

Big thanks to my crew and suppliers for knocking this one out in 5 days start to finish! Drove it yesterday, everything is great so we'll throw some miles on it over the weekend and get it ready for delivery next week. E250 SMB, 5.4, Stage 2 front D60, 4.88s, 35" Toyo RT on Pro comp wheels.

Another employee picked up a van, got a stupid deal on this 95 E250 with a 300 I6. 4" build on 33s soon for it. I really want to see it on some 255/85s and stock wheels, we'll see what he decides on.

Very cool. Wasn't aware they put the 300 in the vans. How does it do power/speed wise? I know they aren't speed demons anyway.

Will a re-gear be necessary?

What front axle will be used for this build?

I haven't driven it yet, will def need some gear even though he's going with 33s. I think 4.56 is the plan and he'll be using a D50 that I have here.

Yea its surprisingly good! My old 5.4 van with 35s and 4.88s was good too. Much lighter than this and you defiantly feel the difference from a diesel or V10 but gears help the 5.4.

I read from so many people in the US Bashing on General Chinese products! I don't know why. Of course not evening coming from China is a great product, nor from the US, Germany etc.

Just think for a Moment which global (not talking about ujoint or any regional company) company is NOT producing in China out at least Party or manufacturing there? Correct, almost no company. Including BMW, Apple, Microsoft...

So please no general condemnation. You can of course argue against specific products.

Screw that. All product from China is pure crap. Whether they knock off the product or get paid to build it it's still junk.

I drove by UJOR and stopped and took some pics. Living a few miles away doesn't make it any easier not to to a conversion. The guys let me in the shop after hours. Really nice folks too!
