Ford 4x4 Van Specs

Battlefield Ford uses Quigley Motor Company Inc to convert its Ford Vans. We have worked many
years with Quigley and they simply are the best.
4x4 Van Engineering Safety
Quigley's process involves hundreds of hours of engineering and development
time and reflects the same concern for safety and quality. A classic example
of this process in action was our work on the Ford van's fuel tank. We modify
the tank to make sure there is enough clearance for the added components, and
then we also tested the tank to insure its integrity.
The most important test was the vehicle crash test. This was to insure
structural integrity. But before we could do the actual crash test, we had
to determine a 'worst case crash scenario' and develop a computer model for
the Ford-based Quigley 4-wheel drive systems. We then hired a NHTSA approved
engineering firm to carry out the prescribed test and compare the results
against the computer model in order to validate the program. Once confirmed,
the same computer model was then used to certify the entire model line.
4x4 Van Vehicle Stability
The "Quadra-Version" 4 wheel drive system has been engineered to maintain all safety
features. For instance, factory braking systems are retained including four wheel ABS.
Quigley has conducted a full array of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety compliance tests on
the brake systems covering the entire line of Quigley 4x4 van conversions.
Another example is Quigley's ability to maintain vehicle stability while raising the
height of the full size van two to three inches for maximum suspension travel. The
Ford solid front axle were used to add front suspension stiffness which increases
vehicle stability and limits body roll. Secondly, the positioning of the added
weight of Quigley's 4 wheel drive system diminished the effects of the 2-3" van
height increase because the vertical center of gravity increased a mere 1 inch -
well below industry regulations.
4x4 Van Mechanical Components
Although Quigley uses a combination of purchased components and ones designed and
manufactured in house, the Quigley system was designed to retain as many factory
components as possible (i.e. factory rotors, calipers and brake pads).
On the component side, Quigley adheres to all applicable Federal Motor Safety
Standards (FMVSS) to provide the safest, highest quality products and all parts
manufactured to the company's design are in accordance with Society of Automative
Engineers (SAE) specifications.
Purchased components of the Quadra-Version include: Ford front drive axles and
front & rear drive shafts from Dana Corporation; transfer case assemblies from Borg
Warner and New Venture; manual and automatic hub locks from Ford and Warn Industries and
springs and tie-rod ends from Dayton.
The company manufactures the remainder of the conversion pieces which include brackets,
bushings, strut and torque rods, steering linkage and the transmission-to-transfer case,
cast-alloy adapter housing. Quigley staffs a customer service department which is available to
provide technical support to both automotive service centers and Quigley vehicle owners as well
as overnight replacement parts manufactured by Quigley.
4x4 Van Warranty
All Quadra-Version components are covered by Quigley's 36 month/36,000 mile warranty. To
provide customer satisfaction, this warranty work can be performed at Battlefield Ford
or any franchised Ford, dealer.
