Backwoodsboy's twin-stick 2WD HI/LO shifter mod ***with PICS!!**

Featured Replies

Here she is folks!

 

- Removed the shift rod from the tranny, and bent it out of the way.

- Welded a bolt (with matching thread, and connected to tranny, onto the end of a spare ea81 hood prop rod :lol:

- Routed rod through drilled hole in firewall.

- Connected to spare 4WD hi/lo shift assembly, which was welded to the body.

 

PICS!!!

:banana:

The blue factory-position stick you see in the corner of picture 2 now ONLY controls the 2wd/4wd action.

 

The new tan stick I put in is to select hi or lo range independently of the 4wd ......lemme tell you, 2wd lo is SWEET if you are running bigger tires!

 

 

UP is high-range

DOWN is low-range :grin:

 

I had to weld it in backwards too.....if it was the "right way" it would be in the way. Where it is, it tucks nicely behind your knee as you drive!

NICE work.

 

Super easy mod huh?

 

I guess no one ever thought of it before now.
