UJOR Build Thread

[ujoint]

Finishing up the DIY fine tuning. Transmission rebuild/repair, some front end work, she's back together and waiting for the rear shaft to be shortened before some test miles.

VT7.3 is on the big lift and torn down!

Time to start pumping up the Transit stuff. Rack parts have been done for a while, we made specific mounts to attach via the stock bungs in the roof. Everything else is just like our E series racks, same brackets for awnings, lights, etc. Regular rack (128 x 70) is $1595 plus freight. Accy's are listed on the website.

Sherpa Trailer progress. Front basket is done, we've been playing with the ride height & tire size too. Due to the sherpa side doors and clearance to my bald head it needs to be a certain height when set up. But, we want the trailer as low as possible for towing, many conversations about what route to take. Final decision is to put it on 35s, will take the Toyo RTs from V7, sell the old 38s from V4, V7 will get a fresh set of Toyo AT2s.

Trying to have it all wrapped up before a trip the weekend before t-day, we'll see. Axle will be here Monday.

Sorry I wasn't able to get up there this week to pick up my new bumper. Going hot and heavy with the demo of the house so was hard to get away. Hoping to run up next week!

Any reason going with at2 on V7? Any issues with the RT?
