Re: PO has me PO'd
My wifes is from Idaho Falls. We usually go through the park or take the routes south on the west side and through West Yellowstone when we go to visit. Her mom lives in St Anthony where they have the sand dunes. Very fun place to play with a truck. Another good source for solid sheetmetal also.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Bank fishing using corkies and yarn, sand shrimp salmon row, allowing the weight to just lightly tap across the bottom on occasion, also spinners and spoons. Where i live now were talking about salmon and steelhead. I don't have a drift boat but its pretty much the same concept, i have been in drift boats and river sleads tho, its a kick in the pants! However i grew up in eastern washington fishing for trout, in rivers and streams i used a lot of wedding rings tipped with a worm or night crawler, sometimes just a worm with some split shot.

 We usually start fishing Salmon in Sept., and then switch over to Steelhead in Nov., Dec. We use drift boats after Dec. as it gets toooo cold to stand in the water for 8-10 hours (15 degrees last Feb)

Re: PO has me PO'd
 had to reverse the mounting plates, since they would interfere with the shift arm, also radiused the plate about 3/32". Then it was just drilling 2 5/16" holes and cutting 2 parallel lines with my Dremel cutoff wheel  bending the ring to match the hump is the next challenge   next step is to work on the actual linkage...problems! Seems the billet aluminum arm on the trans. is better suited for 5/16" then the 1/4" rod and ends that come with the kit. Sooo, calling McMaster-Carr, they had the rod ends and rod instock (5/16"), ship today, have tomorrow. Gotta luv a welled stocked hardware store online

Re: PO has me PO'd
 went a little beefier then the stock screws, it's a truck ,right? still have to trim the boot more rod ends w/studs to replace the original parts, 5/16" instead of 1/4"

Re: PO has me PO'd
 the advantage of using a stud on the rod end is that the billet arm has a recess machined in the backside, and this is just the right size to hold the hex head of the stud  don't forget to use anti-sieze on any stainless hardware, or it will gall and snap the bolt...still need to change out to a stud, probably change to LH thread to make it easier the adjust

Re: PO has me PO'd
that's funny Redthis angle fits your statement better  new set back... PO felt the need to resize the pivot bolt hole for the transfer case shifter, no provision for the bushing, just drilled and tapped bigger. Out comes the T/C, again! All I wanted to do was mount the ring and boot, but that ain't happenin' till I fix the pivot bolt, and while I'm in there, I might as well put new seals and bearings in the coupler

Houston, we have a problem! J/K, sorry to hear you have to take it out again, I know re-engineering crap sucks. Luckily, I only had to pull the T/C twice when I put the throwout bearing in backwards.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Ok, seeing your pic's brought back some memorys i'd just assume forget, all i had was a small 1 ton floor jack and it was not tall enough to lift my T case or my tranny high enough to do the install, so i ended up pushing them off to the side a little and positioned myself under the center of my truck, then i pulled the tranny onto my chest and used my arms and my knee to heft it up into place, then i had to do the same with the T case.. that was a beotch!

Re: PO has me PO'd
OK, ordered up the Twin Stick and long shift rails from ORD, should be here in a couple days! Since the mount for the shifter doesn't use the factory hole, I can use the defective coupler that is in the truck with new seals from 4X Heaven outta NY
The boot may cause a problem, but what else is new? Right!
