I saw something like this when I was down in Paraguay moving with a convoy. I think they were there for a rally.

This one is a one off well for now it is, built by UJOINT Off Road in North carolina
he does 4 wheel drive conversions on Ford vans I've posted pics of his other van before
This one was just shown for the first time at SEMA this year
It has a prototype XPCamper on the back , very cool rig
and to think he pulled the cab and chassis out of the bone yard not long ago. It was headed to the crusher

I bet you did see some nice overland expedition type campers in Paraguay. See a lot more of these types of vehicles in other parts of the world than you do in the US.
This is going to be something you may see more if you have an extra 120,000 or so :wink:

Tom no doubt the van conversion is a sweet idea and compact in it's own way but for my money here's where it would go :twisted:

I really didn't like those at first but someone in my neighborhood has recently brought one home. Everyday I see it, it has grown on me more and more. Be sure to let us know how ya like it.

They're pretty fun. Probably one of the better looking "economy cars" out there as well. I talked to the guy that drove the show car from Detroit to Carlysle PA, he said with the auto/dual clutch auto driving ~70 with 3 people in the car and stuff in the trunk the whole way it got a little over 38mpg which is really nice.

If I had my jeep paid off I would be looking at these as well.

Yes followed the development of these as well and like them a lot
BUT
I can build/buy almost 3 on the Ford chassis for the price of one of them
PLUS I can remove the camper easily on the Ford to access the flatbed to haul bananas etc to market while in Tanzania. Wouldn't have to pay someone else to do it and make more money :2cents:

AND its a FORD :goink:

Thank you Sir for your WARM hospitality today. The pipe fit like I dream once I got home and a chance to throw it on, sounds even better than before I think, unless I was just missin hearin my girl sing to me :jester:

Now after a few hours of sleep I can get going on my boot project once the coffee starts findin it way through my veins :twisted:

Oh and to help your post count. I did a search and can't find what I am looking for so I'll ask here anyway........ I don't have the money for a decent lift nor the brains to read but will blah blah blah work and can I put blah blah size tire on before the lift without it rubbing???? Oh and how to I change my oil without getting oil on my hands, my friend said I could use a sucker, will that work or should I just wear then fem rubber gloves but I have a allergy to rubber so what should I do?? Please help, can't read from the back of the yellow bus with this helmet sliding over my eyes. :shock:

But you see IF you can afford one of those you don't need to haul bananas, you can have someone do it for you and you would own Tanzania. Plus when rolling down the road, trail or your own path your making and you feel a slight bump as your going, you'd look out your door and see a squished Ford that just roller over a Jeep. The best part is ya wouldn't of been aired down either :goink:

Got my boot straps done! LOVE THEM! :pepper:

Looks super cool and rather vintage if I don't say so myself :twisted:

Stupid photobucket isn't working for me otherwise I would throw up some pics :banghead:

Yeppers, just checked my air pressures, threw in my freshly cleaned/oiled air filter and checked out my NEW bids(THANKS TOM!!!) with jacket fit :pepper:

Also checked to see if my warmer gloves will fit over my leather gloves I picked back at the garage sale, tight but yeppers :pepper:

Gathering up aluminum, oil, paint and brake fluid, just may have to try out that new stand ya picked up for me :shock:

tommudd · **Posted:** Sat Nov 17, 2012 10:48 am

my motorcycle stand
