UJOR Build Thread

Chris, you just plain rock dude. Looks like i'm going to have one of your kits. :wings:

Went out and saw him today, and he is a good guy and a professional mechanic.

We made a deal which involves putting matching 4:10 gears on the front.

The front axle is a Dana 50, the rear a Sterling.

The way he explained, because the gear ratio mismatch, the front pulls faster than the rear on loose sand and snow.

On the street, it threatens to break, obviously, and is never used that way.

I'm very stoked to be getting this van, and have a feeling i will have lots of questions on the forum.

Very cool! Glad its staying in the van "family"

Yeah, been broken for a few days, still no fix yet. Maybe Santa will come to our rescue; we've been good boys!

Time for a Flickr (or similar) account:sombrero:
It's nice to be able to access pics from one place if you use more then one forum. And it acts as online backup for any photos you don't want to lose.

From the other posting-pics-error thread;

If you can host the picture on Flickr or Picasa or something, then to post a pic here, type into text box;

Thanks for the tip! Let the pics flow now.... Here is the 1Day conversion all done! 2009 E350 6.0 (only 20k on the clock), 4" lift, 285/70/17 Toyo AT2's on Black Rock wheels, UJ rear skid system with Deka battery, AMP steps, UJ installed 24" high top, Aluminess F&R bumpers, really nice van. And rare too.

Here's a shot of the RS001 rear skid with the Deka 8A4D battery. Still plenty of room for other goodies

Next up..... BigBlack3! Another 8" lift on 37's. D60 front, Sterling rear, both packed with ARB's.

We've already got it ready for springs. DS001 shock towers welded up, axle is on the cart & being built.

That's only a 4" lift? Wow, sweet. (I'd have guessed it was 6").
Your Deka battery bracket with your logo sure is impressive.

PS--sent you a PM for after you return from the holidays, thx!
