Put these on my XJ cause my passengers kept on complaining that there was nothing to grab hold of. Now they give me compliments. Would be nice if the ropes came pre-tied but I get it for people who want to do something different and I guess you learn something. Overall easy to install the GRAB HANDLES. Whole different war with your plastics. But highly recommend them, cause even my butt* needs it

Couldn't load pickup availability
This high-clearance adjustable cable shifter kit was originally designed to complement our GateKeeper Off-Road Belly Up Skid Plate Kit (GK2007). However, it stands as an excellent standalone option for enhancing your NP231 shifter. This upgrade transforms your shifter into a cable-driven system, resulting in smoother shifting, reduced binding, and increased underbelly clearance for improved ground clearance.
This product replaces all of the stock shift linkage and brackets.
FEATURES:
- 97-06 Wrangler TJ
- Works with most aftermarket belly skid setups
- Laser Cut and bent with 3/16 P and O mild steel
- Made in California
- Works on NP231 Transfer Cases With Manual Transmission
- Designed for Manual Transmissions
- Comes Powder Coated Black
- Stainless hardware included

Instructions are non existent... I just ended up staring at the website photo... Quality parts, came SUPER fast, literally shipped within an hour of buying?!
SO, I did not remove anything but the stock linkage, I was able to wiggle and angle all bolts out, and then cut a gear wrench in half to reinstall the transfer case nut for the trans side mount.(the lower hard to get to one) I wish they would of spent a LITTLE more time to re-utilize the factory stud mounting spots.
They really need instructions for the linkage starting points, its a PAIN to adjust once its in, and then better description of how to adjust, and which to adjust first.
The stainless allenhead screws? Butter soft and just stripped, worst thing in the world to have chosen to use? I dont understand that....
Price point with completed project, and working 4x4 with ease makes this a 5 Star. Night and day difference and should of been done at the factory!
