Well they say most projects are never done, something else always seems to pop up. As far as the granny gear goes, you could always step up to 5.13's to gain some crawl ratio back. A Lomax 3:1 205 is an option too.

I'm wondering if the shift rails on the twin stick kit were modified correctly to maintain the detents for the shift positions with the way it kept popping out like that. If you could ever get a hold of the boys up there to find out for sure it would be nice. I'm not sure the cheesy setup for the single stick from AA is much better, but who knows.
