UJOR Build Thread

AlphaVan has been cleaned very well and undercoated! Looks so good, I think he sprayed 8 cans. My goal for the week is to get the body on the chassis, excited for that to finally happen.

Chris,
Is the rack on that v10 bolted through? That is one very nice looking set-up.

Thanks! Bolted thru the top? Yes.

Ah yes, AlphaVan is on its wheels & tires! Long time coming. We're trying the new Nitto Ridge Grappler on some nice KMC wheels. Sterling 10.5 is in just to roll, we'll need to do a complete setup once the body is on. Then it will get torn down for powder. Looking at Friday to drop the body onto the rolling chassis. Super excited.

Ah, fresh 271s!

With New Venture/New Process being out of business for a few years now, are you having any trouble getting cases or parts?

I presume someone rebuilds them for you and those are complete re-man cases?

Interested to hear reviews on the new tires when you get some miles on them.

Cheers.

Haven't had problems. They're reman units, I don't provide cores, they source it all.

Changing up the roof rack, adding a big light bar and side/reverse, ARB awning, sPOD, few other goodies to the rack on this beauty. SSBC brakes too.

I'm in love with the V4. If you were to sell, what would you accept for it?

If you'd never part with her, how much would you charge me me to duplicate that setup if I provided you a cutaway v10?

As cool as V4 is, I'm not sure I'd trade access to the engine compartment for a couple foot shorter flat deck 4x4. It'd be different if I had a shop with a hoist... I love the Ambo I have, but hate having to go under the hood.

If I had Chris's shop I'd not be concerned... I just find simple tasks become a time consuming pain under a van hood.
