UJOR Build Thread

[ohpyramids]

My kit is slowly coming together. Waiting on powder coat here- tranny parts and locker there- but in person- it looks so damn good. Thanks for the help and hard work chris!

Thanks very much! This crate isn't finished, sway bar is just laying there for now, more parts to add.... Glad you see the details though, especially with the hardware coming in & out of your shop on a daily basis!

You guys deserve it.
Us? Ah, just some euro trash.

What did Jody come up with for the 7.3? I've got UJOR 4" lift with 33's 4.10's, diamond eye. I went with 80hp highway/ 80hp mtn, towing. Curious to hear what differences he might have made.....

We made a ton of changes to the transmission behavior. Lower EGT's, the eco tune doesn't try to dump into OD and stay there, tow tunes hold gears longer, etc. Lower EGT's when pulling hills, so much better.

Wife looks over my shoulder and says, "That van looks like something the Russian mafia would use to kidnap somebody."

I guess that's a compliment? :laughing::elkgrin:

Is changing the lift height just a matter of changing out the front and rear leaf springs? So if someone were to buy that black Chateau, but didn't want something so big, could they just swap in some 4" lift springs and 33's? I would imagine the shocks would need to be changed too.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat! That'd be like cutting Samson's hair.

It would need new springs, shocks, brake lines, different steering, sway bar links, wheels & tires (probably don't want a 33" tire on a 20" wheel) shafts.... basically a lot of new parts! Not worth it.

Just wanted to throw it out there. Some people don't want or need an 8" lift with 38's.
