UJOR Build Thread

New arrival, 7.3 out of VA. Going to paint, obviously already has the front clip swap and we'll be fixing some of that for sure.

On the ground, few odds & ends to finish up this SMB. 4" coil kit on 33s.

Just as quick as we can get one off another comes on! 7.3 tear down, we have to whoop some tail on this one to get it finished by the end of next week.

Our favorite play place was closed yesterday so I took the kids on a little adventure thru the woods. Little waterfall, quick run up a forest service road.

5.4 SMB is a check list and a trim door away from heading home! Nice little rig on the 4" coil kit, 33" General X3s, ATX wheels, 4.56s, Stage 2 front axle, Fox 2.0s, all the good stuff. I'll shoot a video asap.

Class C gone home! 6" 4wd conversion, 33" tires (295/70/17 up front, 255/85 in the rear) Stage2 front axle with 4.56s & RSC upgrade, NV271, all the normal stuff. Customer wanted different wheels that could;t be obtained so we went with a polished wheel up front and blacked out the rears. I actually like it! There's no polished or chrome anything in the rear so the black wheels blend in nicely. He'll probably change it out at some point.

Quick video of the SMB

V4's front axle is ready to be blasted and have the tubes/D side lower link mount welded up. Think I'll PC the housing because why not, going stupid on everything else!

We knocked this one out in 1 week! Not easy since the transmission had to go out for conversion/rebuild, rear bumper, OBA, rear locker & gear change, etc. Driving it now and it goes home tomorrow

Purple powder coating? Would go great with the Gold wheels!

Hey Chris - is there a "good way" to flat-tow my UJOR Van behind an RV, or is that just an absolutely terrible idea?

Also - we still get hesd-turns and pictures daily. Our van is a big hit! Here it is after under and side coating it.

Any my new Skoolie project that I want to tow the van with. It has a 20klb hitch so I could pull a trailer if completely necessary.

Thanks!

The van is almost the same size as the school bus; what is the wheelbase on the skoolie?

That's a great question! I've been so focused on everything else I honestly don't know what the wheelbase is. I'll have to measure. The thing has an incredible turn radius though. One sharp turn in this bus would = 5 in my van.

Ha. It's the same! 144" That's crazy I never noticed.
