    these shifters any good? Any that are better, or anything i should know?

    The guy already modified the rails, so in theory all i need is the shifters.

    I've been out of the game too long, and havent kept up with all this crap.
    The eb homos seem to like them....

    I am pretty sure everyone has copied everyone else so it really does not matter which ones you get. From what I have read they all bind up and will piss you off at somepoint.

    I will leave my eb stock I dont see the need for a light duty trail rig to be twin sticked.

    I have a 205 with the single shifter crap minus the stick. I'm sure you could find the stick for free from all these people doing twin sticks. It's not hard to reverse the process.

    Edit: you can edit your profile to say you own El Borracho!

    I would have used a pair of vise grips and put it in 2wheel high and spent that 113 bucks on something that would make it driveable.

    From what I remember it looked like he welded crap onto the shift rails. You might want to make sure he didn't botch the shift rails so much that you can't put that kit on. I'm going completely from a 5 second look under the truck, so you maybe ok.

    you would have fun with vice grips, i took the old shifter and crammed it in there and got it to slide some, but not enough i dont think.

    i think you're right, there are some taps welded on there, what a canadian, same with those brackets for the shackle flip, $300 and not be a canadian.

    So you have the shift rails, i'll buy them off of you. I thought about just trying to trade transfer cases, but the folder full of receipts has a receipt for a transfer case rebuild kit, so its been redone recently.

    Think about that. Do you really trust a transfercase that was rebuilt by a canadian?
