UJOR Build Thread

[ujoint]

Well here it is.... The newest addition to the UJOR family! Big plans for this van, a 2000 E350 7.3. I'll post more details in a few days, the previous owner will be taking some parts for his new ride over the weekend.

And here is Ricky's new ride! He's putting the final touches on it, it's a beast. 10" of lift on 38's!

6" on 35's is the plan.

Nice JK in the shop for a gear job.

Tearing down my van this weekend for some engine work, cleanup, and some of these new Bilstein 5160 series shocks. Look forward to trying them out!

Ooooooohhhhh!
Post top and the eye bottoms!
I thought that combination wasn't made any more... According to the guys at the local 4W store, which is probably questionable anyway.


So, looking forward to feedback.

Running @ full throttle all week, non stop! Love it. I haven't came up with a good name for the new van, a few ideas but nothing is sticking. Threw it on the lift yesterday to start removing parts, it's in excellent condition considering the miles it's seen (785K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) The springs are on order, and I have a Dana 60 ready for rebuild. This is the van I'll be converting at the June Expo in NC.

Had another Jeep in the shop, this was a fix-it job that another shop hacked up. We had to tear down the rear suspension to give it a proper pinion angle, it's amazing what some "pros" do.

The axle prep continues for BartVAN. Waiting for parts! So I spent some time cleaning & painting the front axle, as well as the rear D60 that came from StanVan. It's a factory 4.10 posi & a perfect replacement for a 3.55 open.

I like the beefy calipers on that beast Chris.

785K these 7.3s are legendary!

 

[ujoint]

Yea, it's pretty incredible!

 

[MadChad]

Have you seen this one Chris?

It would be a great testimony for Built Ford Tough if Ford actually built the motor, lol. Just kidding, don't mean to be a party-pooper. Ford was smart enough to choose a good motor to put in there, how about that. Anyway, i'm amazed the body made it that long.

Maybe that one in bend with 245k on it is not so bad!

I had 403k on my 96 b4 it was totaled. I have 290k on the replacement 97 psd van. The engines rock, i love them. And both handle my dp tuner and 30lbs of boost just fine.
