I had a twin stick on the rear case and the single stick on the crawl box. Now all 3 sticks are on the crawl box via linkage from the rear case. This frees up the space so I can have a center consual/ arm rest again.

I am guessing you mean the linkage and not the center consuel?

Lookin good! How do you like the triple sticks so far? do they seal up properly? I would really like to get one of those setups for the same reason, sucks not having center console space!

Today was my longest drive with it so far and I am hearing some things that are making me

It might or might not be the T-case/ crawl box I have to look into it. I know I need to adjust the links a little. So far I like it. I made sure to use alot of RTV when installing them so I dont think there was a problem sealing. I'll know in a day or so when I pull off the tranny cover and take a look at a few things.

pics of triple stick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See what happened was..... Yesterday on my way back from Houston I noticed something off, a vibration and rattle from my under carrige. I made note of it and went to bed. On my way to work this morning I looked into it closely and I found that the U-joint at the rear of my rear drive shaft was toast! I spent what little time I had this afternoon changing it out.

I learned a big lesson from all of this....
-Drive shaft 101: I learned to make sure to align or key the drive shaft when re installing it. Apparently when I removed my drive shaft to install my transfer case I re-installed it out of alignment. Make sure you install the drive shaft straight

I am going to do my best to get some shots of the triple stick linkage before Saturday. If I dont have them by then you will all just have to wait for 2 more weeks while I go back to cali for vacation.

That is almost exactly what I have. Mine is just slightly different sinc I have a rotated adapter. The main difference is the linkage is at a angle but other then that its identical.

I got some more small things done lately. Aux fuse box installed in the engine bay. Wired up 6 led rock lights. New seats and 12 volt guy switch panel for in cab winch and aux lights. Like usual I forgot to bust out the camera during the work. I took 3 pics at night of the new rock lights, but with my flash you cant see anything. I'll get back out tomorrow or Friday and get some new pics.

I have to thank Volcom, I used the same plastic box from Radio shack that he used on his build. Thanks

1 of the rock lights

some of the changes to the interior

You can see the new electrical work
