Twin Stick install (1 Viewer)

[Spook50]

Nice to see some pics of a couple finalized installations to get some ideas. I plan on bending mine to an optimal position for me to reach them from the Mazda seats I installed, which sit a couple inches taller than the factory seats. Hopfully they'll be long enough for me to reach them without having to lean over. That's my goal anyway.

I had to bend mine in basically a Z pattern so they would line up and look okay. Here are some crappy pics that I found in my build pics. I have never had a problem shifting them. Georg's kit kicks A$$.

have the ability to engage Low in your t-case without engaging the front DS

Stock linkages are kind of a rube goldberg contraption and some are loose and wobbly and don't engage positively. Twin sticks made a world of difference for me in terms of easier, postive shifting, after I installed an Orion transfer case that has stiffer detentes than stock.

I'm 100% agree with you I've been myself close to buy the twin stick " kit " to do in Tencha .. and probably will do one of those days ..

But you can engage low range 2 wheel drive by simply removing the gate bolted to the top of the tranny. People have been doing that since cruisers went on sale.

In my case I did it because I was installing a toybox and needed to address the set-back of the transfer case. The twin stick was an easy solution. I had bee running without the "gate" for ages...

I understand. The twin stick is easier in many non stock installs but I think there's a lot of people don't
know of the easy fix for stock setups. That money could go to an air locker.

But then there's the "cool" factor (admittedly a big reason I wanted twin stick) and in this case the ability to support a Mud vendor who's done a lot of great work for the Cruiser community. Georg is a busy dude, but he's a great guy to deal with and one I wouldn't hesitate to get products from as long as I have the money. Hell any used part I can't just go grab at the local wrecker I'll talk to him before anyone else.

Why didn't you say so! If they're from Georg buy three and tip him after you take him to lunch. I have installed them on Orions and Atlas cases just never a stock case. They are very precise and well made.

that's complete true and they way I have it .. I was just trying to explain why you should take the twin stick route .. I never said that wasn't a cheap alternative ..
