UJOR Build Thread

Off topic from vans, but on the topic of children:

My 2 daughters are now 2 and 3. Every single outing with them is more and more fun these days... Once they start running and communicating it's really fun to show them the world and explore it with them. Even areas that I take for granted because I've grown up near them are fun all over again. It is really refreshing to look at the world through their eyes. It brings back the same wonder and amazement that captured my interest as a child. The mountains are their favorite place in the world (aside from grandma and grandpas house of course).

We took our daughters up to Alaska when they were still infants and it was a fun trip but it was hard on myself and my wife. But it was a good baseline to start from because now each trip just gets better and better.

What ert01 said ^ . You'll enjoy them more every year. The time flies, so enjoy it while you can!

I agree, we took our daughter out for the 1st trip when she was 5 weeks. Now with the boys everything is much tougher but I know it will only get better. When we camped this past spring I don't think I sat in my camp chair once! Worked the whole time.

Good job getting them started young. That seems like the way to go. All my friends who wait 'till their kids are teens have a tough time getting them to enjoy the outdoors.

I just updated the axle page with pricing for all of our new setups. Hub conversions, brake upgrades, etc.

Constructive criticism here(you know I like to make your stuff even better than it is);
No info for viewers on what the Hub Conversion is/does.
No details for viewers on the SSBC brake upgrade.
And no pics!

Nope, and that's a good thing right?

Are the SBCC brakes compatible with the unit bearings, or do you need to convert it to a freespin hub?

 

[ujoint]

Yes, the SSBCs can be used with the stock unit bearings or the hub conversion.

 

[sixstringsteve]

Awesome, that's great news. These calipers have been on my radar for a bit.

 

[mk216v]

Still looking forward to the stock E350 solid-face 13" vs UJOR RSC solid face 14.5" vs SSBC drilled/slotted 13" megamatch testing.

DIY kit in CO, looking good.

Several projects in the shop that are getting some work. RV is in the final stretch, shafts & exhaust tomorrow so we can drive it. Ranger bed needs to get done! It's a filler project and I need it to not fill part of the shop. With winter coming it will need to go home. Finish welding and Rhino is up next. The DeQuig job continues, axle went in today.

The colorado van looks great. Is that a 6" lift with 37s?

 

[ujoint]

It's a 6", 35's I think.
