It kind of looks like this spot!



And near here!

Well got the Van yesterday morning and decided it would not be prudent to let it sit more than an hour or two before getting it dirty and trying to break something.

Good News: Nothing Broke
Bad News: Got it dirty

Anyone recognize the location? Road gets ruff right after that spot but it is scenic.

Updates updates updates...... Work on the Red'14 van continues! F axle is in along with the dual shock towers, sway bar & brake lines. Rear airbag brackets are ready for bags and the rear skid is ready for drilling/install Monday. Lookin good!

What is the tire size on the red van?

 

[bknudtsen]

Looks like a 35x12.50-17 to me.

 

[ujoint]

Correct

Here is BB3 with the wheelchair lift down. 8" lift on 37's and it still works!

That's pretty cool Chris!

Just returned from a flight across the country to visit UJOR and HD-RV, first time meeting Chris and Justin in person. They graciously spent all day Saturday with us, showing us around the shops, talking trucks and projects, delicious NC food and friendly people too. Being in the auto industry myself I am super picky about details and using the best products, and both of these guys and their crews do it right the first time--and without any pompous attitude!! Workmanship is top notch, fab skills are amazing, incredibly impressed. BigRed looks sweet in person--red on black really pops--great choice.

Thank you AGAIN Chris and Justin! Looking forward to the future project. :smiley_drive:

Thanks again for coming out! Glad we could spend the day together and talk the talk. Its nice to chat with guys that get "it" and have an appreciation for what we do. Feel free to come back any time and we hope to see an Ambo in your possession soon!

Another Ambo is on the books, parts collection starts now! This one already has an interior done by Justin @ HD-RV so we can really dial in the suspension. No guess on weights, its all there. 6" on 35's, keeping it DRW.

While out running some errands today I was kicking myself for not bringing my sunglasses. Within 10 minutes it was dumping snow. Not enough to have any fun, just the normal teasing in WNC!

Some people are smart enough to do this in the right order. Bigger question - How are you going to get 35's on there and keep the duallies? custom wheels, spacer between?

You guys make it easy to get "it" and also appreciate your workmanship/skillz. Your technical expertise and customer support prove this!

Ambo? What ambo?

Found some nice dually wheels, narrow tire and we'll run a spacer if we have to.

Wow that will be sweet! Cant wait to see it finished.
