UJOR Build Thread

[#328]

I have some new plans for it too, this winter will see a new engine, some larger tires, new wheels and a camping module for the flat bed.

So new engine = Cummins? If I could make the time, space, and money a priority, I would love a 4bt or 6bt swap in a van. I have been wanting a van for a while, the VW is out; a Unimog is out; the wife enjoyed our friends lifted 4x2 E150 conversion van so I may be able to swing a E series van.

Is there a wish list for V6 yet? If I were to win lotto I would probably show up at your shop the following day with a list like this

pass through treasure chests
drop sides
5th wheel (I don't really need or want it, more so one of those money is no object and I could set it on fire or give it to someone)
massive rack http://bringatrailer.com/2011/08/04/green-machine-1990-volkswagen-doka-16-syncro/
canvas top cover for the massive rack http://canvas-products.com/images/Spec Items/Truck cover.jpg

or tommy/lift gate.

Like I said if I could make the time/space/money a priority or win lotto (a tax on those of us who can not do math).

Ha ha, no Cummins! Been there/tried that, too much work. We'll be replacing the 7.3 with a fairly stout 7.3!

V6 is always in the plans, we'll see. The plan is always changing. Right now its a 2014 E350 EB pass, steel blue V10. 35's or 37's of course.

Yea, I've heard it from more than one! It's not rocket science, not sure why everyone is so scared of it. If you switch to my setup and get the axle from me it will all work fine.

I don't, they all run away with tails between their legs when I try!

I would say its due to Accountability that a company takes on when modifying something such as Advanctrac/RSC, if something were to happen and it could be linked to the modification a company "could"be at risk of a lawsuit regardless of any waiver that may have been signed, especially if the modification was done at and by said company.

Sure, if it were being disabled. We're not doing that.

Ah yes... Liability. That is a factor to consider for sure.

Hey Chris,

Yep, I'll get some pics up asap.

Had a wet weekend, photo shoot for FourWheler mag. Sat was shot so we did as much as we could here at the shop, then headed out to the wet camp. Had a great time with the guys, always fun!



Sunday was much nicer so we started taking pics right away! Put V4, MegAmbo & Swiss Van thru the paces. V4 did great, did a few things that I wouldn't have done normally! Here it is after we found some SLOP



MegAmbo got nasty on a hill climb!



We'll have more soon, don't want to give too much away. I'll let you guys know as soon as I do when we go to print!
