Alpha Van: The Ultimate Ford E-350 Overland 4x4
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 сен 2018
- Ujoint Off-Road is known for its 4x4 van conversions and incredible builds. This 2003 Ford E-350 was one of it's most involved transformations to date. We catch up with Ujoint owner Chris Steuber as he walks us through the company's latest customer build.
This van was built from the ground up to be the ultimate off-road van. The axles have been given plenty of beef, with a Dana 60 up front, along with a Detroit TrueTrac and 4.10 gears. For helping it get over obstacles, the Ford 4x4 van has been given custom 6-inch lift springs and some helper airbags out back.
The 7.3L Power Stroke engine, built by Swamps Diesel, puts out 435hp and 850 lb-ft of torque, but it has also been designed to be super reliable, since it doesn't matter how much power you put out if you break down in the middle of nowhere. To help put all this power down on the dirt is a set of Nitto Ridge Grappler tires.
Up on top of this overland van build is a 24-inch fiberglass top made by Fiberine. It even has a custom rack with solar panels on top of it. The inside of the van was made by Sportsmobile in Texas to include both the necessities like storage and creature comforts like a fridge and sink.

My wife and kids and myself have a 2008 Quigley we made into our camper. Did the lower 48 states, Florida keys, and Canada twice.... In 90 days, this summer. It was GREAT!
Chad Merkley I can only imagine an alternate reality where I had a family like that
@@superMan-ve5hd we both work from home and have RAD kids and I've got the best wife..... The stars aligned, I guess :)
Good for you bud. That sounds so cool!
@SoloSail Boat .... Nope. Not even close
I'd love to see pics of it
My God.....this is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of these days i dont how yet.....i will have one of these. I have waited years to get out of debt and almost there! I will continue to hold out and budget desperately for something like this. Baby imma commmin!!!
Hey! I live less than a mile from your shop and I pass by these vans every day. Cool to see you guys on RUclips!
Where I'd it
Lucky man

VanoRama RV anda
Wow. That is an incredible van. Excellent work. What a dream!
Great build, especially being paired with the 7.3
Awesome build, as always, Chris.
Awesome build, Chris and the UJOR gang! Great video as well!
I being a Chevy guy would Rock this Awesome Ford!!
When I retire in 20 years this is EXACTLY what I need for the cross country and backroad places I want to go see
it's too big for any really cool backroad places, especially in the rockies and southwest.
Better get your base vehicle before then, they won't be making the E350 in 20 years.
Won't be any back roads in 20 years
This will be outdated in 20 years
In 20 years you could be dead better do it now
Love my 95 Cherokee XJ, but damn I sure want a 4x4 Ford Van
I'm in love!!! This is the perfect Wheel Estate..
I love these 4x4 van RV’s. So bad ass!
I love that its on 03 with the newer front end and lights on it
I DailyDrive Ford E350 for plumbing. so when I'm done using it for that I'm definitely going to turn it into this.
By far the best one Ive seen so far🙌
Badass van
YES PLEASE. I need one of those
WOW. Awesome rig.
God that's such a beautiful van and great platform. I wish my RAM had a solid front axle.
Not difficult to change out.
But do your self a favor you'll never regret, put on expedition portal axles!
Helps
with top heavy vehicles.
Awesome as hell
That's a *P R E T T Y N I C E* van, to say the least. I'd say the owner threw a few Benjamins into that build, especially since it was all farmed out. But hey, that's doing it up right. If you got it, flaunt it. I'd guess that ride would go anywhere except a car wash, or a drive thru. "Thumbs up" from this Kentucky boy.
Awesome build! Love it!
Beautiful ! Could never 'Afford' something Like THIS!! Go ANYWHERE....Apocalypse Survival 'MACHINE'!
The most beautiful sound of a purring diesel
Daaaammmmnnnnnn beautiful build!! WOW
Beautiful vehicle, I will like have one like that, good job awesome.

That’s awesome
The next best thing after an RV!
UNCLEDOUG IN BOONE N.C. SAYS VERY NICE BUILD !!!

I'd prefer this over a traditional RV ANYDAY!
I'm from the Mountain Home area and these guys do beautiful work and very knowledgeable .
I want one!
This is bad ass
Badass.
I am in love
This van is awesome but one thing I was always concerned with when I was building my van is height. I bet this van can't fit I most parking garages or drive thrus you also have to watch out for low hanging branches and bridges. I would definitely trade my van for it any day of the week though
I want 1!!!
Lord would I love to have this.
Right!?
шикарный кемпер!
Made in California you gotta love that!
Nope, NC & TX
So bad azz!!!
Es magnífica!!
Love this and want one! However, 50k is going to be my budget lol =(. Awesome van!
Can be done for 15 to 20k
omg!! i think i saw this van about two weeks ago here in tijuana just by the otay border going into the gas station... talk about weird!!!
Probably, it's currently in Baja.
Sweet...
Love the high center of gravity
Thew owner does 80+ x-country multiple times a year
@@gearheadsquaretable5829 meaningless comment but thanks i guess cog means nothing to you
Ron Miller I guess ground clearance means nothing to you
@@ronmiller7916 happy to take you for a ride
Most of the weight of the vehicle is towards the bottom.
Add 1 pair of rear shock absorber, remove the rear air suspensions. Add 1 shock ab in the middle of rear axle - body dance negated, less strain on chassis gvm, improved off road and road comfort
Not enough real estate for all of that
I miss my Ford Quigley 4x4 van ......
Help me >(
I would still spray-paint “free candy” on the side...
Fbi open up
I bought a 15 passenger when my kids raced bicycles i told them they could put what they wamt on the plate i was so glD dmv found frecndy offensive!
No expense spared
Darth Vader van intro... sickness.
love U joint offroad!
I want one. Still, it needs bugsoc window screens.
if it has an aftermarket engine how does it work with fitment, sensors, ecu etc?
Dang, man! Dang...
wow
Is there a way to increase ground clearance without going that high ?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Here's a question why not make it an all wheel ( is that an option how much more or less is it if it can be done? Seem's having all the tires moving (all wheel drive) instead of 2 tires moving ie: driver front (left ) passenger side rear (right) if there's deep mud, snow, super wet conditions, from rain ect...all wheel drive is the tits imho. Thanks I'm in boone nc by the way. Also wondering what you can do to a 2017 Subaru Outback Touring model can you fit into tires on it too?
You guys that trip over money can have anything you want on earth.
Do you have a video of how you did the intercooler ?
There are some details on the ujoint website/youtube channel
Super nice where is the 50 mount?
We don't want big brother knowing this.
Lmfao
Ma Deuce!
Six more years and this is me!!!
does it have a airconditioner for the living area
I’ve always wondered if that newer front end is and exact fit to the older body?
Mostly bolt up
Could you provide the brand and part #’s for the bench to sofa?
That van is perfect, but I’ll bet the shifter is sloppy😁
I want I want I want I want!!! 😂😂
Those who disliked this, are simply... jealous.
Anyone know where I can get those rear interior door cards with the tray?
Nice, how much did that cost?
