Ujoint Offroad Information

Ujoint Offroad was founded in 2007 while I was still living in California after spending 12 years in various auto industry jobs. In 2005 while working at a high end offroad shop I decided to build the ultimate 44 van and named it Vanaconda. (pictured above) It had to be a comfy daily driver, mountain bike shuttle and weekend warrior to places like the eastern sierras and death valley. It got a lot of attention and after some pressure from friends I made a limited run of spring hanger kits and sold them from my garage. When the majority of the 1st batch of 15 kits were sold I decided to relocate back to North Carolina and give it a try full time. I started with a small 1500sq ft shop and began to design parts one by one until we had the 1st and only complete DIY 44 Conversion on the market! Since then weve grown every year and continue to develop parts and add new machines/employees to ensure quality and control costs. We build 34-36 vans/RVs a year here at our shop in NC and ship 60-80 DIY kits. In total weve installed or shipped kits for almost 800 vans! Were moving into the AWD Transit market too, excited for the future! Thanks for the support, we certainly love what we do. Please check out our Facebook , Instagram and YouTube channel for project updates! We pride ourselves on manufacturing as much in house as possible. Since were a niche manufacturer this is important! We have complete control over the quality, inventory, lead times and pricing. From raw material to finished product, we build 98% of our product here in North Carolina with our CNC Plasma, CNC press brake, MIG/TIG welding station, and Powder Coating booth/oven. These are the most common questions I get about our 44 van conversion kit. Feel free to email Chris if you have any questions. A. There is no solid answer to this. Several of the main components vary in price. You may find a front axle for $250, $500, or $1500. Same with the transfer case, prices vary. If you do all the work yourself, you will save substantial amounts of $$. If you do ...
