4 speed twin stick

[shipmag]

what do you 4 soeed twin stick guys think of the shift plate

Looks fine, except "ENGAGED" on the fourth line is misspelled.

Doubt I would bother to replace my stock plate though; my twin stick knobs are labeled already so they're pretty self-explanatory.

Thanks for catching the misspelling

Is the L2 Line appropriate? Should I change the 5 speed twin stick plate to include the L2 line? This is what the current 5 speed twin stick plate looks like.

You could cut out the "Front drive engages" and " front drive will be engaged automatically".

If it's in 4WD it should be obvious that the front axle is engaged, and it happens mechanically not automatically.

Just my opinion, but I think the right side looks too busy. I would delete the L2 line. Even though it is a feature of the twin sticks, it is rarely used (for turning on a difficult trail with the front locker engaged, and for towing a really heavy trailer). The L2 line doesn't really add anything helpful IMO.

I agree, but that is what the stock plate says, and I'm guessing one of the goals is to make it look as nearly stock as possible.

Yes the goal is to look like the original with the original wording. Just thought the L2 statement added so uniqueness to the twin stick

Where are you all sourceing the twin stick setup?

For the shift plate I fellow mudder contacted me and asked me to design one with his instruction. The 4 speed twin stick is a duplicate from the 5 speed set up. As far as how to turn a stock transfer case shift to a twin stick search mud as I remember reading something about it.

Don't remember where I got this, but someone was making them a couple years ago. Here's what it looks like:

That's good you shared that with us. I don't know when looking at the plate you shared what the H-N, H-H and L-L mean. I'm leaning towards the one that looks like the 5 speed Twin stick I have been making for cruisers for the last couple years. Any thoughts?

Georg at Valley Hybrids he is here on mud has them for one piece and two piece transfer cases as a kit with every thing you need.

Thanks @shipmag. I knew he made them for the split case but not the early cases.

Thanks @shipmag. I knew he made them for the split case but not the early cases.

I just asked him yesterday and he said $209 plus shipping for the one piece. Thats what i got on my 76 and 74 fj40's

Thanks @shipmag. I knew he made them for the split case but not the early cases.

FYI, he has them for Orion cases too (maybe the same one as for the one-piece case?).
