Hey Chris thanks for the conversion parts, the ride in Vanaconda all of your help and advice and for the picture post of my new van. I am very glad I decided to drive down there. It was great to meet you and see the shop and such, very impressive. I made it back all up about 3500 miles and no problems, well I did stop have have the tires rebalanced after a few hours that first day after I left your place. I am looking forward to installing the parts I got from you and plan to start at least the rear skid system and hangers and such in a few weeks. I am going to do some general cleaning and checking of the van before I start doing the conversion.

My pleasure! Glad you came down, it was a pleasure having you. And thanks for the helping hand! Can't wait to see the van come together.

I'll post a trip report from my OBX adventure asap. For now, here are some other things I've been working on....

I revised my FS001 upper shock mounts, they're now lower profile & mount tighter to the coil bucket. The lower profile allows a longer front shock, which is nice on the 4" kits. As always, in stock & ready to rock.

The HS001's are in production, I made a small run to get them going.

And here is the 1st pic of my next build! It's a super nice van, the owner spent 3 months tracking it down. 08 E350 window RB, 6.0. 8" lift on 37s!!

On top of all this, I have a 2010 Quigley coming to the shop in a few weeks, I'll be giving it a slight altitude adjustment.

chris, which awning did you install? and did it do it job?

 

[ujoint]

I wanted the ARB 8', but could only get the 6' before the trip. Setup is pretty simple, would be easier if my van was lower!

That flatbed is sweet.

A different type of visitor today at the shop.---

Swapping the mufflers for some SVT units. Quite a difference, they sound great.

And tonight there will be a new addition to the UJOR family!! It won't arrive until late, so I'll post a pic tomorrow.
