We wrapped up the spec van mods for the new owner yesterday, I'll shoot a quick video for youtube before it leaves. Swap the lights to Baja Designa nd added some bad dude LP9s, front runner roof rack (he's a dealer for them) and some new Method wheels. We also added our OBA kit. Looking good!

Big boy steering for a mail order 8" kit. We always assemble these knuckles with the arm & block here since they're a major PITA.

Moving along nicely, will be on the ground today! Finishing up our new t-case shifters, had to do a complete re design since the Ford pivots we've used for years are gone for what seems like forever. I'll shoot a quick install video since we have to ship a dozen shifters tomorrow!

Another busy week at UJ. Cali 5.4 EB is under the knife, going to test something bug on this that will help us lower costs and lead times, I'll post updates as hey happen. Bumper and some goodies headed to CA, our side steps installed on the 5.4 high top.

Crazy how different these rigs are. Stock E150 vs a 350 with our 6" on 35s. Hard to believe they're both E series!

Chris,

What do you use to keep tires balanced? Balance beads or just get them balanced a lot?

We don't use beads, we use traditional hammer & stick on weights and have a road force balancer in house.
