I am overwhelmed by all the levers I need to content with, and was thinking in might be nice to put them all into a the center console, in one place, and convert everything to cable actuated.... 2/4, Hi/N/Low, Hi/N/Crawl, PTO On/off, Front Locker, Rear Locker, Parking brake.  We'll ignore the hood release and fuel door cables for now!   That's 7 shifters to contend with!

Has anyone converted the Marlin crawlerbox to use a shift cable?

The triple shifters would be the closest thing to cable shifters on the market. I'm sure you can do it just takes some engineering.

i've seen relocated shifters using a basic "extension" but that is a cool idea.. i'd like to see someone come up with a rough drawling on this.
