Nice 
What kind of shifters? How much clocking? Got any pics of the crossmember?
I just sent him an email...
hopefully he'll be here to answer your questions soon..
Ryan,
I have a NWF triple stick set up in it. I'm not real thrilled with it, seems a little too 'not heavy duty enough' (read cheap) for me. I had quite a bit of trouble shifting it sometimes, until I lengthened the shifter levers. That seemed to help quite a bit, but not completely. I forget where I got the shifter rods in the transfer case, but maybe they just need broken in a little. I'm sure it's assembled correctly, if it wasn't, it wouldn't work at all.
I'm using the factory cross member, in addition to one that Jerry and I made. We need to re-make that one, because my front drive shaft was rubbing it a little at full suspension compression. I had the transfer case clocked up 4", for a nearly flat bottom, but I just recently lowered it down to the normal 2" clocked up position. I did that to get my new HAD driveshaft away from the cross member a little bit, and to lessen my front driveshaft angle a little.
Ah, she's a work in progress...drive it, learn it...redo something...wished I had more time...

Thanks for the info, I'm going to cable shift my setup. But I'm going to make all the components. Also I got a friend that's going to mod the shift rail. What transmission are you running? Also what u-joints and do you have a yoke or flange front output? So with the t-case clocked 2" up does it hang below the frame at all?
Im shooting for a flat belly and i think I will mount the 203 upside down with the crossmember going over the t-cases and then the doubler will just hang from the crossmember. Then there will be nothing below the frame and I can make a big ass skid
-Thanks
Ryan,
I'm running a SM465 32 spline tranny, and the T400 style NP205, so all input/outputs are 32 spline. My front driveshaft output is a 32 spline yoke style, and all U-joints are 1410's. I thought this was a worthwhile upgrade behind my big block. With the transfer case cloked up 2", it still hangs below the frame rails a little bit, but off the top of my head, I can't remember how much.
If you can make your own shifter stuff, go for it. It's probably more stout than the stuff I bought, but I have no fabrication capability, nor time to make stuff, so I tend to buy a lot of stuff. JK5 makes some nice stuff, I just don't have the tools and time like he has.
We're gonna have to tackle another cross member soon! Good luck with your build!
