Is there any wheeling going on out there over the July 13th weekend, Seth? I have to be out there for a cousins wedding, could just as well bring the jeep along.....

[AllGoNoShow]

There might be. Nothing planned as of yet. I might still be in Vegas.

Pfffttt, pretty much have. But I can't miss the WSOP main event! It will be only the second tourney I have played this year, as opposed to hundreds in years prior.

I pulled the 205 so that I can mod it for front dig and triple sticks. I plan to use the two sticks that I have for the 203 range box and front output. I will then cut a hole in my floor and have a stick directly mounted to the rear ouput shift rail and it will bend up right next to my seat so that I will not even have to move my body to shift into front dig.

I used a punch to knock in the frost plug and then I knocked out the roll pin. I then stuck an allen key in it so that the fork would not drop when I pulled the shift rail.

I then ground the shift rail down with a flap wheel.

I pulled the pto cover and retrieved my roll pin and frost plug. I then reinstalled everything. I checked through all the shift options and took a few pics of some of them.

4x4 low

Here is front dig low.

2wd high

I took pictures of all the other positions but I won't bore you with them unless requested. Everything works and it is not possible to put the rear in low and front in high or vise versa.

I just read through 3/4 of this build thread and you have done some awesome stuff with this rig. You have definitely given me some good ideas for my truck. I like your home made tank trap. If you ever end up at Hollister let me know it's a 1 1/2 hrs from my house. Keep it up, you have my vote for TTC.

Hey thanks alot man! I should have some more updates soon....

I pulled the radiator the other day and gave it a good washing, I was pretty suprised at how much more dirt/gravel I was able to clean out with the radiator removed from the truck. I had previously cleaned it out with it in the truck but apparently did not get it near as clean as I had thought. I also found out that the 160 degree thermostat will just keep circulating the coolant (stay open). So I took the radiator out to get it flushed and cleaned. I am going to go back to a 180 degree tstat and see if it will stay cool. If not, I will buy an aluminum radiator. I will be ordering a triple stick cable shifter for the doubler soon. I am also kicking around the idea of adding a 3rd seat, and the accompanying cage work to house a 3rd seat.

Ftoy version of an F350! Great idea. As for tripple sticks, I used ORDs on a Jeds adapter. Took me a while to get all the rods at the right lengths but they have been working great for years.

I have not ordered them yet. Did you have any issues with the shifting linkage interfering with your trans shifter cable?

Edit: I have an art carr shifter and the cable is really stiff. I was just thinking that the shifters would interfere at some point with the trans cable shifter. Not to mention the guy at ORD that I talked to was not very helpful at all answering my questions about it...I would like to use traditional shifters if possible...

[FordX4-offroad]

needs airshifters

seriously, if you can, build your own shifters. place them where and how you want

[Ford rules]

My shifter cable interferes with my triple sticks, I ended up runnin the cable through the shifters been workin fine so far. I can find some pics if you want.
Do you want cable shift or linkage?

I would prefer linkage, but I figured the cable shifters would work better for clearance purposes. Some pics of your set up would be very helpful.
