Diff Too many shifters...

[shum8]

This may not belong here, but it applies to the drivetrain in a sideways fashion. Stopped at the grocery store the other day to pick up a few things, and when I came out there was a tricked out black JK parked next to me. I had the door uppers off, and the JK owner was standing between the two with his head stuck in my passenger door. I threw my stuff in, got in, and he was still standing there staring at the floor ...... I asked how he was and if he needed any help - and he looked up and asked “why two sticks?” I said come again, and he said “why do you have two shifters?”. I said uh, one for the Transmission , and the other for the Transfer Case ...... He finally looked up, said “Oh, ok. Nice Jeep” and turned and went inside. Took me a couple minutes to process that one LOL.

My '63 had four. He'd have lost his mind and it would take some time to explain it to him.
Transmission , over-drive, hi-lo and 2-4 wd..

My neighbor just rolled by the other day in his CJ2a . Same set up. Lots of levers.

Can't make some stuff up. I consider my T-150 a prime antitheft device nowadays.

And I use a manual choke as a secondary anti theft device.

My Dad had a CJ3b when I was a kid that had 4 sticks on the floor. 3 speed Transmission , high/low range, 2wd/4wd/ and Overdrive .

I can't find a good picture, but it was a trip to drive around, and confused the heck out of all of my friends when they got it in.

That is the same as my 3B. A lot has changed since the below photo but the shifters are still the same. That said, I think the Overdrive will be making an exit soon. It isn't likely going to appreciate what is now under the hood.
