    Thanks man! So far I love it! It is a hurst short throw shifter, just took the grip off. Holding it naturally like a joystick with the little added leverage it's easier, smoother and actually a little faster (insert sexual innuendo jokes here) than it was before with the original grip. Can't go wrong with that!
    :eek:

    You're right, it is out of a bell! Bell 206 to be exact. And actuall the bell ah-1g uses the same grip. I've found I'm always hitting the buttons making gun noises, and missile noises (along with a running dialogue between myself and mission control(myself))

    I'm sure you could get a throttle quadrant from a fighter offline somewhere pretty easy, on an auto that would be so friggin awesome! Full military power lol

    Where'd you get those bro? Me likey. Gonna do a retro fit, and spray the OEM reflector and the projectoer shroud metallic grey/gun metal and then do the chrome head light trim in flat black. Saw a dude at the local meet in DFW area tonight who had one like that (except the trim was gloss black) and IT WAS SICK, SON!!! Would look even cleaner with those eye lids too. They'd be the cherry on top.

    I honestly don't think it will work either....ideally you will be pulling your truck forward and backword at the same time. You can try it with a rope and trees. Tie a rope around your waist, then around 4 trees then pull on it. The momentum will probably pull you sideways if the front and rear trees arent perfectly in line:rolleyes: very interested in seeing what will happen...

    Sounds like he wants to use his front winch, run it to 4 trees (front, side, back, behind making a square), then attach to rear to pull himself out of something from behind...
