    I used the supplied spring pins no problem. My bushings were snug in the bore of the knuckle, no slop at all so no way the pin could shift it.

    And I drilled and tapped a couple holes in the bushing like the ones from reid have to pull them out when I need too.

    Laser cut forks were perfect! Better be for the .005" tolerance I put on the hexagon for fitment :D

    Two-stage short throw shift kit for the Davez Offroad twin stick shifter :eek:

    Needed to reduce the throw so I didn't have to cut a bigger opening in the plastic console, as I had already cut back to the structure in all directions.

    Got the shifters done and paint is drying now. Finished pictars soon :D

    Turns the twin stick shifter into a short throw. :cool:

    On that note - I'll take the last set for mine. ;)

    Edit - too slow. :eek:

    If it works for you, go with it :D

    I drilled and tapped mine like Reid bushings too. Made 'em a lot easier to remove.

    Inchworm gear billet knobs.


    That would be pretty slick...but I bet they would get hot in the summer!

    Not sure if anyone caught it, but at the base the levers cross over each other. I did this to get the 2wd-4wd lever on the left, to keep the H-N-L lever for the t-case and the crawl box in line on the right :cool:

    Extra work but worth it!

    20# Co2 Tank came in... little bigger than I thought lol :D

    And it doesn't fit in my power tank aluminum bracket either so I need a new bracket now. 20# tank is 8" diameter, 10# and 15# are 7" diameter. Anyone want a deal on an aluminum powertank bracket? $30 shipped for the $40 bracket!
