Expovans Transit 4x4 Conversions

[mgmetalworks]

Just placed an order last week with one of the critical suppliers (for the custom trans adapter shaft). Doesn't sound like much but this was the most difficult part to source...literally took months to find the right folks to work with.

 

[Mr. Fisherman]

Looking forward to updates.
Where is your primary shop located?

I'd love to stop by and talk about your transit plans. I'm over the hill in Hillsboro.

Send us an email through the website and we can set up a time.

 

[Mr. Fisherman]

I sent one to get on your list.
I have Mondays and Tuesdays off.

As part of our 4x4 conversion, the rear axle gets some special treatment too. Here is the Transit Sterling 9.75 rear axle with our 8lug hub conversion, high strength axle shafts, ARB air locker and big brake upgrade.

Sexy...but such a tease!

Curious if you have had a chance to tow anything with this. I love everything about these transits accept the fact that the towing capacity went down on them. I am also afraid a WDH system would stress a unibody constructed vehicle.

 

[mgmetalworks]

I rarely tow anything. There are discussions on the fordtransitusaforum.com about towing with the Transit. You can probably find a lot more info over there.

 

[Mr. Fisherman]

Any updates?

In for updates,

Curious if your still chipping away on this project?

Curious if your still chipping away on this project?

Yes.... After clearing my plate of some other large projects, I've been able to work on this pretty solid this winter. There have been some significant breakthroughs in cost cutting and simplification.

I'm in for updates, as well. Nice-looking work!
