So, let me get this straight... there are four (4) shift levers in your CJ? And it's a 1978 CJ5

Yeah, I've got to see some pictures of this, but I'll bet you JR's on the right path, tranny shifter, followed by a twin sticked Transfer Case and an Overdrive unit, maybe...

My new project has 4 shifters.
Number 4 is PTO.

The T-18 was a stock option in 78' &79', so a PTO port was available.
The Dana 20 has more than one company making twin stick converstions.
I have seen a ranger O/D on a CJ also a rare sight.


Notice the PTO winch on this little jewel.
Oh by the way, this guy lives near you IO.

Alright ill bite... Whats a PTO? On drag sutos its power take off i think???

But what is this PTO You all speak of?

 

[mylittlecj5]

^^^that one was up on Ebay a few weeks ago. I wonder if he sold it?

 

[IOPort51]

I think I would remember seeing this!!
Holy cow!!
I would bet one is a coaster axle rather than being 6 wheel drive.
It looks cool but not sure why you would do this other than having the only one in the world.
You got it. PTO is power take off.

its probably shifter, Transfer Case twin stick.. they should be really close together at the base, and the last one if it pulls up and down its a PTO.. back and forward is over drive
