    YAAC - Yet Another Ambulance Conversion

    U-joint Conversion. The U-Joint design and attention to detail are simply better than the factory specs. The end product is nothing short of 4wd conversion art. Let Justin guide the process.

    Recently bought and installed a Rack N Ride on my ambo conversion. I did not want to compress my front shocks, so I found a peg mounted rack. These are from Australia and the quality is amazing. That is the optional 6' aluminum ramp. I just idled it up. The kit comes with everything including...

In 2017, someone decided to take this base 2003 E350 cargo van and build an incredible expedition-worthy, yet very comfortable rig. First it went to U-Joint...

    Isuzu NQR/Fuso FE vs. Ford F-550/Ram 5500 as a platform

    I have built and owned on both platforms (2 Fuso FG140's and one Ram 5500). If freeway driving, comfort, and safety are in your top goals, then the answer (IMHO) is Ford/Ram. The Fuso's are seriously underpowered for US freeway speeds of 70-80, have factory suspension that is akin to riding...
