Full size shenanigans… scratch it don’t care… put it to work! Loving the Ujoint capability.
-
I remember when he was first building kits and posting on expedition portal back in that 2007 era. Great work!!!
-
I have a 13’ v10 wagon thats on the books for July… love hearing that a clean low mileage van with a v10 is the way to go… glad i got mine when I did, and I paid for it! Worth it!
-
Can't wait till I can afford to get a van for Ujoint to convert for me :)
-
No a van person myself but I appreciate the build quality

3:40 “every RV … is undersprung.” That’s why I clicked this vid and searched the biz name. My rv is on its second set of springs.

thanks!
-
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!❤

I have a 97 E-150 I would love to have converted. I wanted to covert it before I even know it could be done…..now I just need to know what it will cost me. I’ll drive from Maryland in a Heartbeat for that.
-
when are you bringing the 8" back?
-
Hopefully it’s the intended purpose of the Turd van, but would love to see Ujoint as the crew van sponsor for Ultimate Adventure
-
$60K for a turn-key!!!???? Is that with the owner supplied van? If not that is a crazy good price!

His flatbed has really incredible approach and departure angles. If it were me I would start with a standard wheelbase van or chassis cab and add a International 1993-1997 DT360 PPump diesel with a Eaton Fuller RTO-510 10 speed crashbox tranny with a 12 to 1 first and .78 overdrive, AAM 14 bolt 10.5” front maybe 11.5” rear axles with 3.31 or so gears and Grizzly locker rear and air locker front Crane Magnum wide kingpin knuckles. , divorced NV-271 HD t case. HMMV bead lock wheels and 40” radials. Deaver leaves on all 4 corners as long as possible and Bilstein shocks, engine gear driven air. My mind goes wild.

It's too bad U-joint doesn't sell the seperate conversion parts like they used to so you can't do a 4x4 build over time to make it affordable.
