Cable shift conversion for 2/4WD on the Orion.
A picture of the cable for the H/N/L range is somewhere in the last page or so.
Again, these are shift cables and modified brackets from a Suzuki King Quad produced 1987 to about 2001. These items are all over ebay.

It's alive and driving....Took it for a good rip down the road today to help get the rings to seat, the only way to really do it well is with some decent cylinder pressures, and we all know how to get those.
Some thoughts...
The exhaust sounds sweet, but is WAAAAYYYYYY to loud under throttle.
The clutch works w/o issue, effort is very light though, too light IMO... so it lacks a bit of feel. A pressure plate with some serious clamp could be placed in there and have normal effort.
Everything in the driveline seems to be working well, no bad vibes or noises.
Low range crawl ratio is 81.4:1..... perfect for what I do. Can't wait ot take it wheeling....

Very nice work indeed, especially on that flywheel! I love the exhaust exiting on the side and the finish on the rocker cover...might have a crack at that myself.
Looking forward to some more pics or vids....once you've wheeled it of course!

Brian, any more seat time in this thing? How's the power feel? Worth the effort?

Power feels good when not experiencing the part throttle bog.... It has no problem pulling quickly to redline. The real problem lies in my perspective... my other daily driven vehicles have 310 and 380hp (soon to be 504) with stockish sized tires... comparing them to something making mid 200's for hp and driving 37/13.5R17 tires on steelies makes it feel slow. I'll probably be putting some 31" tires back on for inspection next month, if the throttle issue gets cleared up it might give me a little better idea of the gains.

You dirty dog, you're putting the blower on your Tundra!? I'm jealous!
I am glad i picked up on this thread rececently. i can fast forward through the slow parts and nearly get to the end of the build! its like Tivo!!
This by far, is one of the best builds on ih8mud!! I agree with everyone else that we need to see some updated pics and would love to hear what it sounds like when you upload the video!!

Sorry guys, life happens... I'll get some pics up asap. I did take it out for some minor wheeling, the Orion low range is great. The engine does have a throttle tip in bog on occasion, but it seems to have diminished a bit, which leads me to believe it has to do with something electrical. With the 31"s and 4.88 gears it will give the tires a bit more than good chirp when banging second gear.....
Amazing work!
