I would really like some pics of the shifter installed in the factory location and the interior. Really appreciate it boss

You want interior pics? I took some under shots if you want inside I'll get some tomm.! The 1st pic shows the original location of the new lever shifter box above the t-case attached linkage. I used rectangular 2x4 tubing welded nuts in the bottom corner for the flat plate that holds the cable linkage in place.

This pic shows interior box with shifters and lower plate with removable shim that holds down slide in shifter cables.

This pic shows them apart.

Hope this helps!
Nice welds hun!! I get in too much of a hurry like a kid at Xmas! They've been in for 2 years and shift perfectly whether the XJ's flat or crossed up!

Those pics are very helpfull. If you can snap a few interior pics that would be awesome. Nice work boss

Finally D300 is onboard with twin-stick cable shifter fm Polar_Jeep_04

The only outstanding issue with this swap is the speedometer - while driving it shows ~20km/h more than a GPS. Before the swap, with NP242, it showed ~5km/h which was acceptable at that time.
Gears front/rear - 4.11
Engine - 4.0 (Renix)
Gearbox - standard for XJ'90 (AW4)
Tires - 33x12.5x15 (will go to 35" next year)

What are the options to solve it, how did u correct this in your rigs.

Rgds

Need a new speedo sensor in the t case.

 

[HavvkXJ]

Any tip where I could source it ?

 

[Boss Cherokee]

What. is your rear axle ratio and tore size. I have 4.56 & 36's and I used the 231 gear which put me right on according to the unmaned radar speed post on some roads. I've never needed to GPS it but eventually I will.

 

[HavvkXJ]

As posted above, front&rear axle ratio is 4.11, tires 33"x12.5x15

 

[HavvkXJ]

I know one www showing speedo gear charts - http://www.go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoSpeedoGears.htm, the question is - where to source speedo gear that would fit D300

 

[Boss Cherokee]

Have you tried the stock sending unit?

 

[HavvkXJ]

I haven't tried it yet, also noticed that NP231 speedo gears are often used in D300

D300 with twin-shifter onboard and all works well, however one questions is still bothering me regarding 2WD mode (front wheels only). When can u use it? Everywhere or off the main roads.
It's winter time here and front 2WD is tempting

 

[supernatural]

Why couldn't you use 2wd front only on the main road? I would without hesitation.

 

[HavvkXJ]

I've used 2wd front on main road but just for a while.
Because it is 2wd Low, I am just not sure how long/fast u can drive in this mode.
