I'm loving that for two reasons, 1 - it's cheaper than a GV unit, and 2 - ANOTHER STICK TO SHIFT!!!! . In all seriousness though does anybody know anybody who has installed and used one of these? That looks like a pretty cool option to me. I would think this would cause some clearance issues with the gear shifter/seat, and the 4WD levers. Any input on that?
