So then my wife and I decided to drive it from MT down Baja. She's a teacher and had 16 Days off Christmas of 2019. I was able to get about a month off and we drove down together, she flew back early January and our dog Arena and I cruised home a week or 2 later. The van was an excellent way to travel and we really enjoyed the connection of cab to living/sleeping area. We have had a slide in and a bumper pull in the past, but I think this is what we we've been looking for. With the 7.3 up front and an open rear diff I couldn't even look at sand without getting stuck. So the decision was made to drop a few bucks with Ujoint Offroad. I placed the order 6-2-2020. Then I started scouring the mighty inter web for parts.
So far I've compiled:
-6" Ujoint Offroad Kit
-2002 Dana 60 Front axle
-2005 Sterling 10.5
-(5) Raceline 17x9 wheels 4 used 1 new
-(5) Toyo MT 35x12.50r17 tires used (but like new)
-2002 Ford NP271 transfer case
-4.56 gears and OX lockers front and rear
-4R100 pulled, sent, built and 4wd converted
-Bushwacker fender flares
-New fuel tank
