Happy new year to everyone. '14 was good and '15 will be even better for the UJ crew! We're expanding and adding a few machines to make production more efficient and also boost our capacity so I can get some new things built. Exciting for sure.

Here's the Blue TX rig outside, we're finishing it up before next week. These aren't the correct wheels, needed to get it rolling so we could use the big lift for Black/Blue. 6" lift on 35's, love this luxury barge!

Here's a Stage 2 D60 w/RSC upgrade & 4.56 gears ready for the next van to come in the shop! (7.3 restoration)

And Black/Blue with its new ride height. We plumbed and wires a ton of stuff too.

And finally, Bruce in VA with his freshly DIY converted 5.4 rig. Super clean rig, love the look.

Love the white 5.4...exactly what I would do, with maybe some windows

Hey on that white 5.4, is he running those tall narrow 85 aspect ratio tires? How have these been working out for guys that have them? I'm still undecided on what tires for when I go up to 33's. My wheels are 16's and will keep them.

Yes, they appear to be the 255/85's. We haven't run a set here except for AmboVan years ago which was a DRW.
 
Hey yall thanks, that's my rig. They are 255/80 17. I love them, best compromise for my situation, relatively light, good ground clearance and road manners, excellent traction. Trying to keep the build simple and useful✌️

They are a cool look, and I like the idea of big diameter w/o all the weight of a wider tire.
 
250, stage 1 rsc, plans include a full but simple camper build out, potentially a top. We have abused two different westies over the past 13 yrs, so upgrading from that. Rims are 17x8

Hey guys quick question if you dont mind again. I was researching transmissions that came behind the 5.4's, it most came up with the 5r110w for the 08 and up models? Is this true?

Only if was a cab chassis, all late model 5.4 E250's/350's have the 4R70 or 4R75.

Some in the 90's had the 4R100 which is nice!
