Stage 4 - Twin Sticks, Case
removal, and installation.
Glenn decided to add a set
of twin sticks (a) to his new Dana 300. This shifter by Currie
allows a lot of freedom of gear selection to the driver. The shifters
allow combinations not possible with the stock Jeep shifter. It allows for
2Low, Front WD Low, 4Lo, 4Hi, 2Hi not to mention more levers in the driver
compartment to add to the neato factor. The shifter allows for lots of
adjustment for perfect posistioning.
The next step was to remove
the old case from Glenn's Jeep. The oil was drained, the drive shafts and
4wd shifter were disconnected, and also removed the speedo cable. Soon
after the case was out on the floor. (b)
The new case was positioned
under the Jeep and we hoisted it up and bolted it in. (c) Glenn looks
happy under there doesn't he? (d) We hooked up the drive shafts, speedo
cable, installed oil, and adjusted the twin sticks.
Stage 5 - The test
After double checking the
installation Glenn fired up the Jeep and took it for a ride. All seemed OK
and it was pretty obvious that low range was lower than before. The true
test will be some off-roading.
