  • Based out of Fletcher, North Carolina, Ujoint Offroad is known for its four-wheel-drive conversion systems for the Ford E Series van platform. As you can image, Ujoint owner Chris Steuber has built some incredible vans over the years. Maybe his most radical build is one the doesn’t fit neatly into the common Van Life model. He calls it V4, and this 2002 Ford E-350 is a shinning example of just own versatile Ford’s classic van chassis is in the right hands.
    Equally as interesting as the van is the trailer that Steuber calls the Sherpa. The all-aluminum expandable camping setup was originally intended to bolt directly to the flatbed on V4. As V4 evolved, Steuber decided to craft a trailer for it to rest on. Sitting on 35-inch-tall Toyo Open Country R/T tires, the leaf-sprung and Fox shock-damped trailer acts a community center when camping with family and friends.

    Damn son. I found my E450 7.3 shuttle on Craigslist for $2700. I've put like 10k into making it my own super sweet mobile apartment. 16psi is pretty good for a house. Now I just need 4x4. Wouldn't trade her for the world.

    So I’ve been thinking about springs vs coil overs. On one hand, a van conversation needs the weight capacity from springs. But they are roughy in washboard roads causing me to air down and then back up to keep from rattling my rig to parts. So, would coil overs be a better set up for an overland Econoline that I plan to wheel as well?

    • @Ali_Mansour_Editor
      @Ali_Mansour_Editor  Před 3 lety

      Chris at Ujoint would be the best person to ask about this. I know most of his vans use leaf springs, so that alone is pretty telling.

    no second (or third) row seating ? perhaps on V5 in the not too distant future.

      He's currently working on a new version of this van. He does have a daily driver that has plenty of seating for his entire family.
