BOOTS BACK IN STOCK!
The Twin-Stick allows the use of two-wheel drive low range, and a true neutral. As well as the ability to shift-on-the-fly, while in low range, from 2wd to 4wd and back easily, this is especially useful with a locker in the front axle, and allows for a tighter turning radius. With the factory shifter configuration, neutral only disengages the transfer case from the transmission. This actually has the front and rear drivelines locked together, which is not a great setup for towing either. For the ideal towing setup, check out our Full-Floater Conversion Kit.
The two-wheel drive low range is great for people with a front locker. As those of you setup with a front locker know, the locker keeps pulling you straight when you are trying to turn. With the Twin-Stick, just moving the 2/4 lever into two wheel drive disengages the front axle, and the locker is no longer pulling you straight. This makes tight turns much easier, while allowing the slow speed control of low range. By having 2wd low, the front axle is relieved from undue stress, and four wheel drive can be re-engaged, even while moving, by just throwing one lever.
The Twin-Stick is now available for Tacomas and 3.0L manual transfer cases!
With or without floor boot.

FAQs:
Q: What’s involved in the modification to the transfer case?
A: You must drain and remove the transfer case from the vehicle. Once removed, the modification takes at most 45 minutes. You must remove the Interlock Pin. This pin keeps the 2 shift rails from sliding independently and engaging two-wheel drive, low range. It requires only a couple wrenches, hammer, and a small punch.
Q: Can I use the Twin-stick with a dual case setup?
A: Yes, it just installs in the rear case.
Q: Does the Twin-Stick allow front wheel drive only?
A: No, for front only, a rear disconnect is required.
TACOMA case modification:
l. Remove the shifter, speedometer wire, and unplug other indicator wires from
case. Remove the case from the vehicle, after draining.
2. Remove the 30mm rear output nut.
3. Remove the 5 bolts from the tail housing.
4. Remove the snap ring on the rear bearing. And take out the 12, 8mm bolts holding
the case halves together
5. Remove the 2 detent plugs (6mm hex), springs and balls from the top side of the case.
6. Carefully pull out the left side shift rail. Grind the tip of the lever,
approximately l/8’’cube that overiaps也re right side shift rail.
7. Reinstall lever after grinding.

Great shifter
This is a very well built shifter, and installs into a Tacoma easily. I had to grind the shift rail with it in the case because to remove the rail would mean a complete disassembly of the case. No big deal, but the instructions were a bit unclear.
