So now thanks to Locktup I have a Trial Gear adapter sitting here in my shed waiting to go under the hilux. I have everything I need other then the adjusted tail shaft lengths.
I am also just waiting for my back to be 100% again before I go lifting t cases out and back in again. I hert it real bad just before xmas and its only just starting to come good now, first day back at work will be Tuesday
Anyway what I want to know is,
Has anybody that runs dual cases done anything with the shifters so that they BOTH come up threw the SAME hole? I don`t want to cut another hole in my floor and I also want to put in a centre console from a SR5, if there was another shifter coming threw the floor then I can`t have the console.
A couple of ways I have thought of doing this are.
Get a twin stick shifter for the rear case. By using a twin stick shifter for the rear case it eliminates the side to side movement of the stick while in High 4WD, this makes it a bucket load easier as for 2wd or 4wd its only forward or back movement. Same goes for high or low its only forwards or backwards movement.
Then cut both sticks off so they stay under the floor, also cut the front stick off under the floor and then just put a small air ram on each shifter and just use air to shift.
Or weld some flat to each shifter where they are cut off under the floor and then rig up a lever setup so the yall come up threw the same origanal floor hole. But then there is the thing of sealing around 3 sticks with some sort of rubber boot.
What other ways can you think of and what way do you think would be CHEEPEST.
