That helps. I kinda like the thought of 3 sticks pokin' through the floorboard. I just may have to do this. I'm really surprised/worried though that nobody else has done this as it's almost half as much as the GV unit.

Any forward progress on this? I'm going for it in the next couple weeks. Was curious on how you addressed the clearance issues with the sticks.

I've ordered the splitter, but its still on backorder. I have decided that I'm going to do some kind of solenoid to shift the beast just like the big rigs

I run 35s with 3.31 gears. With a TH350 it feels like I have an overdrive on the highway, but low range is mandatory on the trail and it gives me all the gearing I need.

Great idea. I like the look of the stick(s) poking up thru the floor like a bamboo forest..

However- I could mount a stick any size/shape/location I wanted to avoid the seat interference issue and just slave it to a switch/solenoid.

Forward thinking...

I'm not 100% sure until I get it, but I'm thinking I may be able to rework the shifter enough to clear the seat. I may be dead wrong on that, but who knows until I get the cab back on...or at least I don't want to think about it until then :LOL:

On another note, I got my tracking number today so IT'S ON IT'S WAY!!!
