Yeah I didn't see that one coming either. Looking at a house there this weekend. Nice big shop. As far as I'm concerned the house could be a yurt as long as I have a shop 🤣

There has been a pivot. I accepted a job in Twin Falls Idaho, starting next month. In a mad panic now to get the our stuff boxed up and the house sold.

We were looking at possibly finding a place in Douglasville, a lot more housing available than Carrollton and opens up west ATL as reasonable commuting for work for my wife. I would originally have been starting next week if I hadn't needed to ask to hold off a bit to get moving sorted out...

I have an opportunity in Carrollton but it might not still be there when I'm ready. Trying to ride it out here until the school year is over.

Just 37s. I think being pushed out 4" each end makes them look bigger.

Off it goes to storage.

GA now, much better work prospects.

Quiet in Broncoland, but I've been busy. Working on the house and sorting through my junk. I've been in talks with some buyers and it's finally happening. Targeting June to be out. I have a job lined up in GA that will give me much more free time. I'll be renting there initially, trying to find...

I had to chop up those levers quite a bit but I'm happy with the result. Now I see a Ford NP205 shifter kit wouldn't have worked either but a Bronco D20 kit would have been bolt in other than extending linkage.

Pro tip: just buy the Ford twin stick shifters when building a Ford NP205, even though the GM kit is half the price. I had to do a bit of cut and paste to get the pieces lined up.

I only learn from mistakes, not successes. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Got it back together - minus RTV because I'm tired of redoing it to fix mistakes - and it shifts great. Then I was looking at a picture of twin sticks and realized my shift rail brackets are on wrong. So the entire Ecobox has to come...

Ahhh I did a stupid. Forgot to install the snap ring that holds the planetary assembly together. It popped apart and allowed the carrier to walk back out of engagement.

This worked amazing. I just threaded 2 of the 6, and cut pins to thread into the case threads to push against and protect the threads.

That's pretty clever.

I might call them if I can't sort it out. Almost wonder if I didn't grab the wrong shift hub and it's not traveling far enough. If not that maybe my input isn't far enough back. I might need to call them just to see how best to split the case, they have you use RTV to seal the halves so it's...
