They are so nice my brother-in-law had one building at their shop and we drove it back to Arkansas. The handling is amazing and much better than any lifted truck I've been in.

Well done video, everyone. My UJOR van still impresses me every time I drive it, built it in 2014.

Man people need to know about this! I hope I see this van on the road here in NC one day

Chris, UJOINT is a solid guy delivering hands down a quality ride beit 75 on the road or creeping 7.5 off-road

Recently picked up a 1997 Ford E 350 Club Wagon V10 for an off road camper build. It's dope to see what you guys did with yours

UNCLEDOUG SAYS IT'S ALWAYS THE BEST BUILD ! LOOKS GOOD GUYS !!!!

Hell yea dude, I want to convert my 28' RV to something like this

Hell yeah that's a kickass van!!!

I been wanting one of these for years.

Really great vans! I have one with 250k miles and still running strong

Awesome, thanks for the info 😀 👍 I am loving ❤ it

Beautiful 🔥I want one now

Really nice set up.😊👍🏾

i know that this van is a ford, and the A-Team van was a chev, but the whole video i could hear the A-Team song in my head.

@JimJones-gd2jy

Жыл бұрын

It’s still about 6’ shorter than a Mercedes Sprinter 😒 those vans are ridiculously to high for off road

Why do you always convert to solid front axle & not the ttb set up??

Do you use manual sway bar disconnects on the front axle to get the articulation off road but keep the stability while on road? Or have you experimented with the electronic style that Ram and Jeep have been using?

@ujointoffroad

7 ай бұрын

We don't, not common enough to have them disconnected. Easy enough to pull a link if needed.

Is there a difference when it comes to the extended e-350's? It's still able to convert to 4x4, 6" lift with 33's or 35's?

The USA is one of the two places I’d like to visit before I peg oot and the first place I’d visit would be the memorial to president Lincoln. My reason for this is simple, it’d be to give my thanks for his and his team at the time for putting in place the ending of slavery and for being far sighted enough for doing so. The other place is the Vietnam memorial and this reason is to thank them for there yesterday’s i and millions of others had a tomorrow. 🙏👍
