Yep that's what I did. We flexed it and found even 16s gave up a bit of travel. But with those you won't give up much. Much better way to do it too

Yeah titan box! Hopefully I'll see that in a few weeks.

Just as an FYI...I just went through this last week with Jon at JB Fab...he has never had a titan box in his shop before, so the bracket he provided me to attach to the titan box did not work with the box (he provided me a bracket that went on a normal black box, not a titan). All of Jon's shifters are meant to have the cable go towards the rear of the vehicle and the curve around towards the front to connect to the shifter arms, however the titan box can only conntect to the 205 one way (the back half of the box that is) and the back half is where the shifter arm is located. The 205 case is somewhat in the way that you can't really attach a bracket that goes towards the rear, to then use Jon's triple stick setup. (I really don't know if I'm explaining this that well, but hopefully you get what I'm talking about).

All in all I ended up returning my triple stick setup to Jon in exchange for just his twin stick setup with a flush mount, then called NWF back up and ordered their individual shifter for the titan box. So my twin stick cables from Jon will go towards the rear and curve around towards the front to shift the 205, and my single shifter from NWF will go towards the front of the rig and curve around towards the rear to shift the titan box. What's nice though, is I guess Jon is the provider for NWF of their shifter boots, so Jon was able to make it that once I install everything, even though they are shifters from two companies, they should look the same after final install (Jon even got his shift knob to work on NWF's shifter, so all the shift knobs will look the same). Jon has FANTASTIC customer service and is a great dude, that is for sure.

I'm not sure if you had heard anything about this cause just this last week I got mine figured out with these guys and I was going to use the exact same buggy style triple stick shifter that it looks like you have. That's why I mention all of this

I remember talking to Kris about reverse shift patterns and cable length. Is it something with heavy modification will work? I don't mind making something if need be.
 
As I was looking at it, you could probably make a bracket to go off the rear output housing of the 205 to be where you cable would attach, and then you would need extend the shifter arm of the Titan box at least an inch or so to get the alignment of the cable correct so it doesn't bind when you go to shift it (all this assuming you want to use Jons triple stick shifter and have the cable come from the rear towards the front like his 205 shifters). I was looking at doing this but it was actually easier to exchange the shifters in my situation and gets me to the same overall goal without any extra money or effort to get it in there...so it was an easy decision for me
