UJOR Build Thread

Just did it. Plenty of threads in my opinion.

Wow, that is a low profile setup, nice!

Thanks! I'm happy with it.

On the coil spring conversions track bar frame bracket which shares 2 of the mounting locations for the steering box, Is it ok to use the factory bolts since there is slightly less thread engagement?

I notice a new part on your page, the CK002-DL (a longer drag link adjuster), since I planned on doing the steering this weekend with a factory adjuster, Im wondering if the factory adjuster will have enough threads?

Yes, there's enough thread on the steering box bolts. Be sure to ck them after some miles too.

In my opinion the stock drag link adjuster doesn't have enough thread engagement because the van frames are wider.

Another_mike - Yes reuse the factory bolts and the stock adjuster will work just fine.

Thanks for the quick responses guys. My build is coming along nicely. Im doing it myself in my friends 30x40 "garage" and doing it on jack stands. I often find myself giggling like a school girl as new parts go on and I have to lift the van higher and higher to get more stuff on.

Chris,

Do you still have any plans to do 4x4 Nissan vans at some point down the road ?

Maybe, we'll see. I'm not motivated enough to buy one & convert, especially sine I just got the Transit.

Enjoying the Transit on my trip, in Maine right now.

That Transit looks really sweet. Starting to wonder if I should have gone with that over the E-series, or if I could justify another van...

Enjoy Maine,

Greg

Van looks good. Let me know when you are headed through VT

Don't know where you are or where you're headed but if you're running up Rte 1 along the coast, do yourself a favor and stop at Reds Eats in Wiscasset for a lobster roll. Killer. If you make it to Bar Harbor, 2Cats restaurant, it won't disappoint. I lived up there for 7 yrs and still miss the easy (cheap) access to seafood. Oh, and whatever you do, don't let anybody talk you into drinking Moxie. That stuff is so bad I'm sure it knocks years off your life.

I drove past that place Saturday! There was a line before they opened.

Its been a great trip, last day before I head home and I got to spend it with some of our most awesome customers! They wore me out but it felt good to get on my bike and hit some dirt.

Came home to a nice surprise! V7 feature in the Nov issue of FourWheeler, even a little bit of the cover! That hasn't happened for us 4wd van guys in a long long long long time (in a major publication)
