Whats the deal with this tie rod? Looks way cooler than the ones that hang down.

Cranking out the RVs!
Dubai 14 was built the week before vacation, we started 15 this week and its just waiting for the rear driveshaft mods and alignment. LOVE building these big brand new E450s! Also nice to have some of the Dubai guys add some goodies like bumpers/lights/OBA!

We're booked up to #20 right now, did several before this count so I think we have ~25 total over there. We've done a few for some individuals over the years.

Now that the UHaul is done, I've been day dreaming about what is next. The only thing that gets me excited is something that has been on the back burner for years, a dedicated Offroad van to take in the woods and beat on. Uhwarriew, Windrock, etc. Take the kids out and run some gnarly trails with a full size van. Body damage is to be expected since most trails around here aren't full size friendly, my vans are too nice lol. Ran it by the guys last week, most of them agree with me (there's always one who doesn't) and then it went back on the back burner.
Yesterday morning I got an message from a local friend, BAM. Cheap van that meets the criteria perfectly! 06 5.4, 320k miles, transmission is shot, body isn't great, no rust, time to build a Vuggy! Here's the plan:
Re introduce our 8" lift with our new spring supplier, cut the body to fit 40s. Sliders, relocate the fuel tank, belly skid, glass delete, rear door delete, full cage, seats with 5 point harnesses, lockers, all of our 4x4 products. I'd like to boat side it but we'll see, may not be worth the effort. Will also be cool to run around town and bring the kids to school in of course, keep it street legal.
1st step is to gut stand give it a nice pressure wash!

Full cage with race seats is the plan. 6-8 pass!
