SoCal V10 on the ground! 6" on 35s, Simple but highly functional build. 4.56s, OX rear, Stage 2 front with True trac and RSC upgrade, Fox 2.0, progressive springs, our FB002 front bumper with Rigid lights and an sPOD. Checklist time before heading to alignment.

The mid roof Transit needs a different roof mount than the low so we whipped them up for a test fit/mock up. Rack is 10'6" x 5'8", all aluminum of course.

Closing up the week with a Stage2 4.56 Dana 60 that was upgraded to an E locker. Shipping out Monday to CA along with a bunch of goodies!

Whats up with that 240 Mane?

 

[Pinnacle Campers]

Have you given any consideration to converting the newer radius/coil axles to leaf spring?

Which one?

The axle? Na, would be a ton of work/machining.

Another day of work on my land, rented this bad boy chipper to eliminate a few piles we had. Came back from lunch to snow, love it.

Yeah....but it shouldn't cost nearly as much as those big brake kits.
My biggest take away from driving a coil conversion and a leaf conversion back to back for a year is the brakes....and they can be had so cheaply on the newer axles.

Representing Ujoint at KOH. Got a ton of thumbs ups and a lot of conversations. This van continues to amaze in its capabilities on the trail (really no trail needed at all).

The SSBCs were a nice upgrade, braking power with the stock diameter rotors was just as good as the big 14.5" rotors of the RSC upgrade. We don't have the capability to machine that in house so I'd have to find someone then re design all of our u-bolt plates and it would still force someone to buy an axle from us for the swap. If I had to guess, the price would wind up more than our existing Stage2 axle with RSC by the time we factored in the machining & transport costs/etc. And we'd have a custom housing, that will really confuse some people down the road! Ha.
