    I keep seeing twin stick as an accessory on guys sigs. Are there advantages to the twin stick over my one?

    And the handy ability to disengage a locker-equipped front axle in order to make a tight turn on the trail...

    Working on this now.

    I don't even have my t-case back in the Jeep yet and I love it already. Mmmmmmuch better linkage. And, 2-lo is something I really can use.

    And if you really want cool factor. Lock the rear brakes, put it in front low and do a dig to pull the jeep around a tight obstacle. :D

    I use it as a theft deterrent since all you need is a finger to start it. Put both in neutral at Home Depot.

    Me, too. Front low?
    One of the main things I like better is they are easier to reach than the original single that was up almost under the dash...

    Can't do that with an 18 transfer case because if you put the rear in neutral it shuts off drive to both the front and rear. Can with a 20 or a 300 but not an 18. Nickmil.

    Dana 20 t-case. Each axle is controlled independently in the twin stick configuration.

    front lo-N-hi
    rear lo-N-hi

    talk about theft deterant. Put one in high the other in low and it isn't going anywhere. R)

    I have seen it in competition. Use a line lock to hold the rear brakes. put it in front wheel lo and gas it. The front pulls around and you can turn in the length of the vehicle. Its an impressive site.

    That would be a cool trick.
