UJOR Build Thread

[bkbroiler00]

I can get one together in just a few days, everything is ready to rock. $459

Hey Chris - maybe you've already said, but do you mind explaining again what this kit will do? Is it to allow a NV271 to bolt up to the stock tranny? Is this the same thing as adding a tail shaft? thanks!

Yes. This kit allows the 271 to be mated with the 4R70 & 4R75. We slightly modify the tail housing and instruct how to drill & tap the transmission case to accept it. The transmission still has to be torn down for this mod and that needs to be done by a professional.

Finally......!!! V7's axle is going to built. Trying some new things that will become options for our axle builds. We're using a SpynTec hub conversion, Big boy calipers from SSBC along with their rotors, Mile Marker hubs, 4.56 gears, everything else will be standard UJOR spec D60 stuff.

Used spyntec on my old super duty. Great company!

I like where this is headed. I want bigger brakes without having to do a Stage 2 axle (not that I would mind a stage 2 axle, it's just out of the budget).

You mean "Without adding the RSC upgrade?"

Chris, these SSBC rotors aren't any larger than stock correct? Just drilled/slotted(vs stocks which are solid face), and 8piston SSBC calipers...?

Gonna ask a dumb one here, but what needs to be drilled tapped, and modified? I don't recall anything special like that having to be done for mine. E4OD for a '92 E350.

Well, I can't get the RSC upgrade without getting a stage 2 axle. So to me, it's one and the same. A stage 2 with RSC would be awesome though.

I know there is a good reason why these Nissan NV's are gonna be 4wd converted---vs the Ford Transit full size, i just must have missed it. Could someone wiser than me let me know please. Seriously, i am curious.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm guessing it's because the transits have a unibody instead of a frame.

 

[TwinStick]

I did not know that. Thanks. Not sure what Ford was thinking on that issue ???

The RSC upgrade (or this future SSBC setup) can be put on a Stage 1 or 2.

Correct. Same dia as stock, just has the 8 piston calipers and optional upgraded rotors.

E4OD is a different unit. The extension housing has to have all but one hole opened up, the housing has to be tapped for an additional mounting bolt.

You can go Stage 1 w/RSC. And yes, The Stage 2 with RSC is an awesome setup!

Nissan has a frame.

I'm guessing it's because the transits have a unibody instead of a frame.

Exactamundo!

Another one touches down! 2014 E350 5.4, 6" on 35's.

And a new arrival, going 4" for beach duty.

Say Chris, I know you're going to Expo East. Are you heading over with a herd or rolling solo? Any Ambos coming along? I'm thinking of bringing my beast down for the weekend and scoping things out.

It's 3 miles from my shop so we'll have a few rigs there. Last year we had the Tribe of 5 ambo there, don't think I'll have him bring it this year so we can mix it up a bit. In the booth we'll have V4 with the Sherpa, V7 and Steel Blue as long as it doesn't sell by then. Trying to squeeze 2 more big boys too.
