UJOR Build Thread

If I upgrade my 4" lift to 6", do I need new driveshafts? Or the same ones will work?

Probably. We use a CV for the rear so that will need to be added and the front may need to be lengthened. Assuming you already have a CV there.

I took a few days off with the kids, the guys stayed busy and started the solar install on Tribeof5. 400w on the roof and relocated the house batteries to the chassis to free up some interior space.

Dirk came down from OH for a roof rack, ladder & awning on his 2wd V10.

John & Mandi! This rig has seen some mileage and everything from AK to Argentina, came in for a ck up so we did ball joints & F axle seals, packed some wheel bearings, F/R Fox 2.0s, rear shock mounts, shackles & bushings, etc. Ready for another 60k miles of bad roads! They'll be with us at the Asheville Van Life Rally next month so come by to hear some stories.

DIY kit installed in PA swung by for some exhaust work, we re did the F pipe to our specs. We love to see the DIY installs, helps us with instructions.

KY 5.4 Wagon is mobile, few punch list items to knock out before it goes home.

SoCal V10 teardown! Super low mileage van, San Diego bound.

NY7.3 is back from paint, color is from a new Tundra. Had to get some storage space for it and the chassis until the customer and I finalize the drivetrain plans. No room at the shop and I'd rather not stress about moving it in & out every day!

How’s that Tribe of 5 ambo in sand with the 19.5 tire and rim setup? It is my understanding that hey can’t really be aired down much. Could it handle outerbanks beach sand?

I'll ask if he's been in any. True, they can't be aired down much because they're so damn stiff and over rated but this rig is HEAVY. We've stopped using this setup in favor of regular tires.

How's that press brake coming along for you? I gotta think that having the CNC plasma cutter + press brake really opens up the opportunity to do some cool ********!

It's AMAZING! We've been re tooling everything and can now make our entire product line in house. Once we're done with our existing stuff we'll start on some new goodies. Next tool.......... powdercoating booth & oven!

Signal Peak expert trail side, oops. Not meant for E350s, got some dents on this one.

I've been telling my NY RV customers for years that I want to come up and camp. Finally made it happen! I rode solo so just took V4 with basic gear and slept in the back. V4 ripped up the miles w/o a headache (1700) and averaged 13.8-14 MPGs. Turned a ton of heads and everyone that drove by our camp slowed down! Thanks to everyone for having me and rolling out the red carpet.

Chris; On KY 5.4, what is used to block out the rear windows. Vinyl wrap? It looks really clean.
