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.
I'm a Chevy/GM man through & through but those vans are literally one of the only Ford vehicles that I really want.. I drive a lifted 02 Avalanche but I want either a Tahoe or one of those decked out vans to go with it
I had Pathfinder with a 460 in it with a Dana 60 front c6 with a shift kit on 35x12.50 16s and cross over stirring I regret getting rid of it every day
I have a 2017 rv v10 I been wanting to do this with this kit but I rather have a ford van for this type of build I also have 2021 sprinter rear wheel drive instead of there stock 4 wheel drive and I'm waiting for u joint to start converting true 4x4 like the same as there ford van.

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?

Could these mods be made to a 93 Club Wagon with the 351? I expect most, if not all of them could, as Ford didn’t really change the underpinnings over the decades... just curious.
Got me a 2003 e350 4x4 folling frame then got a 1987 e350 van 2wd got to put body on 4x4 frame i put 5.9 cummins on frame and 47 rh transmission and transver case I sell it $10.000.

Hell yea dude, I want to convert my 28' RV to something like this
Well done video, everyone. My UJOR van still impresses me every time I drive it, built it in 2014.
Really great vans! I have one with 250k miles and still running strong
Chris, UJOINT is a solid guy delivering hands down a quality ride beit 75 on the road or creeping 7.5 off-road
Man people need to know about this! I hope I see this van on the road here in NC one day
Fuuuuuuuck yes. This is where it's at
Chris built a very similar van for me. It’s a great value, in my opinion!
What did you spend?
UNCLEDOUG SAYS IT'S ALWAYS THE BEST BUILD ! LOOKS GOOD GUYS !!!!
Imo worth the money
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.
I did a Ford A-Team van and everyone flipped out! In a negative way :D
I'm a Chevy/GM man through & through but those vans are literally one of the only Ford vehicles that I really want.. I drive a lifted 02 Avalanche but I want either a Tahoe or one of those decked out vans to go with it
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
Beautiful 🔥I want one now
I been wanting one of these for years.
Hell yeah that's a kickass van!!!
Awesome, thanks for the info 😀 👍 I am loving ❤ it
Awesome Chris and Ali!
Thank you!
Cool ass van!
My dream ride..
I had Pathfinder with a 460 in it with a Dana 60 front c6 with a shift kit on 35x12.50 16s and cross over stirring I regret getting rid of it every day
I cant wait to get my e350 done its been to long
Really nice set up.😊👍🏾
Wow Ali I didn't know you had a UA-cam channel !
This is technically Driving Line’s channel, but I do produce a few videos per month for them. Anything that is under the Inside Line playlist is mine.
I want that bumper for an 07 F150
I'll get there.
I truly wish U-joint would start converting Chevy Express vans!
вот это выглядит удивительно 🤠
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?
Nope, no difference in wheelbase, just the body.
Why do you always convert to solid front axle & not the ttb set up??
Love their rigs! What’s the overall height with 6”
lift on 35’s and a roof rack? I assume it probably doesn’t fit under a standard garage door?
It’s still about 6’ shorter than a Mercedes Sprinter 😒 those vans are ridiculously to high for off road
Ok, see, if I had it, I would spend 60k on something like this. Any other vehicle nah...but this? Hell yes.
Wow impressive 👋👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👊🏻🥃

We'll never play with the Sprinters, sorry!

how is towing on these? This may be an option for me to pull my boat and stay in overnight
Most E series are rated up to 10k
my budget is closer Old Ford Econoline or Chevy eXpress. those are what I’m looking for.
When you say 60k, includes cost of van or on top of van purchase cost?
He's including the cost of the van.
This van just sold for 65k
The vans went from Sterling 10.25s back to Dana 60s? Convert that to full float!
They never had a Sterling, only Dana 60s
@@ujointoffroad Could have swore the late 80s had Sterlings.

Are you going to offer the front swaybar kit? I'm interested in finding out more about the kit and if it'll fit a Quigley as well.
Our sway bar won't work with a Quigley, sorry
Why don’t companies come up with these type of vehicles
The OEs?
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?
We don't, not common enough to have them disconnected. Easy enough to pull a link if needed.
60k for that is not a bad deal at all…
Beats the dog piss out of what's on the lot from any brand right now.

No. Just Ford.

Website?
I believe his kits will work, so long as the chassis is based on the E-Series van.

А он надёжный? Часто ломается? Для горного бездорожья Кавказа подойдёт?

There are many options depending on the van yr/engine, check our website to see everything we offer

Guys i am in middleast we love chevy vans it most reliable engine and transmission easy to fix easy to modify
Ford are sucks no body like it even with cheapest price people don’t like it
I ask some mechanic in my region
They told me Ford vans has a lots of transmission issues that hard to fix
Guys i am not expert i am just telling you what i heard
Because i saw 90% of American love Ford van but Chevy only few
Fords are more popular and have always outsold the GM vans.
Tela cambio por mi troca talinda😅
So close to being a complete van just needs a bed and a kitchenette.
Easily added if that's what you desire~!
Which model pelican case is that?
Pelican 1650
Could these mods be made to a 93 Club Wagon with the 351? I expect most, if not all of them could, as Ford didn’t really change the underpinnings over the decades... just curious.
Yes. His kits are designed to work with all 4th Generation E-Series vans. So, 1992 to 2014.
Are the 4x4 vans dependable as a daily driver or are there parts that will wear out quicker than others?
For sure.
Does anyone know what the largest size tire that you can run and still open the right rear door without opening the left?
Stock suspension? Or lifted/4wd?
What is the cost for something like this?
He talks about cost near the end of the video. To replicate that van, it would be around 60K.
So the 5.4 is sufficient?
It makes similar torque to a 6.2 with a tune
@@zb6618 what is used to tune these econoline?
@@jaimemachado9683 look into 5 star tuning
@@zb6618 thanks for the reply
Forget the tune, LS swap!
What size rim and tire?
35x12.50R18 Nitto Recon Grappler on 18-inch Raceline wheels.
Can it go 200mph burn rubber from take off?
Yea in low range 🤣
So funny there was not such thing as stages until fast and furious still cool ass f****** van

I believe he said it was in the low teens.
Were can I get this converted van bought
Just contact Ujoint Off-Road
Graffiti man says nada importante!
25k 😆 fuc that I get a Use RV and buy a wielder and start gluing f250 front axle myself under 25k
Do it :)
I wanna lift my astro van
I've seen a few of those lifted. They look great! There are two local to me I see driving on the beach from time to time.

Journey's Off-Road makes lift kits for Astros, and if you have an AWD they make 4x4 conversions that are very inexpensive
I have a 1987 Astro with Dana 44 and 350 v8 ! Selling in a few weeks
!
I’d want diesel
what about gvwr?
What about it? Doesn't change with the conversion but the handling and load capacity difference will make it tow better.
