The fifth gear was sometimes locked out and the operators couldn't select it. Something about being far underground and high rates of speed not mixing well I'd say.

I've heard some say they prefer the park brake on the transfer case because it's further from where the rubber meets the mud so to speak. I may still be doing a rear disc conversion and so could potentially incorporate a brake in that setup. I am not hung-up on either system so will likely take the solution that presents itself when the time comes.

Power steering is sorted. With the factory pump on my motor and a bracket from Hilltop Cruisers I will be bolting a mini truck box in the factory holes on my frame rail then using my stock links from the pitman arm on. With my planned mix of DD, easy cross country expeditions with the odd weekend trail ride it should suffice.

I'd like to sneak a York compressor on there somewhere as well, but with the dual battery brackets, turbo and intercooler piping it may be a bit tight.
