    Ford Transit Quigley vs Sprinter 4x4?

    Has anyone actually spent any time behind the wheel of a 4x4 Sprinter AND a Quadvan/Quigley Transit at all? May need to make some work related vehicle changes in the not too distant future. Built out SMB EB51 interior isn't going to be the ideal work vehicle layout.... Sent from my...

    2015 Sprinter 4x4 build begins

    Err, how does the NorthShore 6 pack rack work with the Sprinter rear doors? Currently using one of their 6pack racks on my 4x4 E350 and I love it. I'm daydreaming with a future rig and curious how it would work with opening the Sprinter rear doors. When you lower the rack loaded with bikes...

    Interested as well Mr H... My Positive cable on my rig looks identical just w/o the penny - hammered into oblivion. No issues to date but I'd like to replace/update soon

    Cool! Winnebago Sprinter 144 4x4 Adventure Concept Introduction

    Had a chance to crawl around this rig at OR last week. Looked and felt really well built. Liked it - sorry no pics, battery on the phone crapped out. Also had a chance to check out one of the Roam Sprinter 4x4s right across from the Winnie- looked awesome and was very well equipped on the...

    Chris, on my 6" kit that I am running on my EB 7.3 SMB I have the std Bilstein 5100's. Definitely wanting a little bit more rebound damping as my rig is pushing @11k lbs loaded up - question is there any difference in performance between the Std Fox 2.0s or the Fox 2.0 Res? The rears in...

    Chris, quick ? or 3 on your Floating Airbags - I'm looking for a little more load capacity from time to time on my 6" kit and I'm about ready to pull the trigger and figured I'd probably not be the only UJOR owner with these questions... With the floating setup, how do they act on washboard...

    Pop-tops: are they worth it?

    Love the pop-top on the van. This is my second SMB and both have had the manual version. No issues whatsoever raising it as long as it is properly adjusted - routinely have a couple SUP boards up top and even my 5'5" wife can set it up. Only downfall is in extreme cold like others have...

    Diesel Cabin Heaters

    Has anyone replaced a Suburban propane unit with an Espar or similar? My propane unit is extremely loud and the blower drains the battery pretty quick. It's an 02 SMB build fwiw Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

    UJOR Build Thread

    So theoretically a little more up travel then with the new trackbar mounts - is it a noticeable amount? If so, would it be retrofittable with the 6" trackbar I already have installed? I definitely slammed mine a few times down in Baja last month... once this snow stops I should have some time...

    She's 4wd at last! Tom Wood's delivered yesterday afternoon a fresh set of shafts front and rear so I had to go out and lock the hubs for the 1st time on the Stage 2 axle Chris whipped up out on the local FS roads a mile or so from the house. Didn't get too wild and crazy as I am waiting on a...

    And may I now present Agnes ver2.0 - just back from her Maiden Voyage around the block... For the wheels I went with ATX Chamber 2 18x9s and they're shod with Cooper ST MaXX 305/70/18 (these measured out at a legit 35" vs many of the other 16 or 17 options at 34.6ish and these had a much...

    All done! No pics because it looks just like the above picture. Unfortunately there was a shipping mixup and the wheels which look awesome - ATX Chamber2 w/ST Maxx 305/70/18s, showed up with 8/6.5 bolt pattern and not my requested 8/170mm. Of course this was all discovered after I had...

    Thanks Brad! Your thread and detailed photos of your DIY build were studied more than once in getting myself mentally prepared for this buildout. I noticed your latest build is Agnes as well - maybe they'll meet up one of these days. My 7 yo daughter picked the name last year on our maiden...

    Got everything all welded up last night with the help of my neighbor. Today I made some huge progress, only thing remaining is bleed the brakes and install the longer lines, finishing installing the steering/track bar and get the wheels on (unfortunately those will be ready Tues afternoon...)...

    And another productive afternoon was had in the driveway this afternoon after work. Front spring hangers have now been hung, the stock pitman arm has been removed (given all the horror stories I saw on line, guess i was lucky - a breaker bar/cheater pipe for a few turns followed by a hit of the...

    Quigley front-end all disconnected and ready to roll out of the way...shocked how easy it all was. Just need to remove the torque arm brackets so I can start on the Shackle sleeve drilling. Now, why the hell did Quigley have to place an 1-1.5" long weld on the torque arm brackets in the most...
