    All the mechanical things are done and it works great, now comes the fiberglass work to make a console type thing to cover up all the workings of the shifter. I still have some sanding to do on the new tunnel panels to get all the sanding marks from the 80 grit sandpaper out. You can see in the red circles I have some work to do, the yellow circle is where i need to build a cover.
    Still working on the converter lockup. I got the ECU programmed to send a signal when the shifter is in drive and at 2500 RPMs just gotta run all the wires.

    In 4 low I have so much better control on rocks and no roll back on hills unless I want it to.

    I hope not, I just got it! It's gonna help me on my future tire rotations, or if I ever need to use my jack on the trail. Thanks for the excellent product!

    you are welcome!

    you don’t plan to use a hi-lift to rotate your tires though, do you?

    Using a hi lift in general is not recommended, more of a last resort use one. They’re just not safe. A floor jack and jack stands will serve you much better for tire rotation.

    People have nick names for them.

    Like widow maker.

    I've used it 3 times offroad.

    2 times I was not comfortable with what was going on but it had to be done.

    If you do decide to use it ever do yourself a favor and open the door. You'll know why when it slips the first time and destroys your door, or if you're lucky just a window

    Good info, thanks. Jeff had mentioned opening the door too, prior to lifting with it. I've watched a ton of videos on it, I just gotta get out and familiarize myself with it.
