I'm more curious than anything, is there any reason someone knows why Jeep choose this one button bolt vs all the other countersunk bolts on the windshield frame? Is it something functional/practical or some weird design element?

I hastily did my LS swap wiring way back when and always intended to go back and clean up the wiring. I'd like to depin c103 and c104 but they seem unique vs the main c1/c2/c3. has anyone depin'd those connectors and know the tool I'll need?

Talk me off the ledge. I completed a v8 swap with an automatic transmission a few years ago on my 04 TJ and it's been a lot of fun to drive. I originally did a currie 4" lift and replaced all the steering linkage along with rancho shocks, the ride is tolerable with 35s. The jeep has 125k miles...

I made a video on YouTube on what I spent, I could have done it for less but it would have taken more time

Here is the latest

cable. The angles didn’t accommodate the linkage but I tried to make that work.

Appreciate it! Yes the lokar shifter isn’t as smooth as I’d like, I would probably look at a different brand just based on my limited experience

Thank you for the kind words. I answered this question in the comments of one of the videos so I'm just copy pasting from there. Happy to answer in more detail if you'd like. Probably would have torn down the engine and tweaked it a bit, put a better cam in. I didn't want to get sidetracked...

25:35 is where I show the old way I had the linkage run.

I had the same problem, reached out to novak and they said it’s rare it doesn’t fit, I don’t see how that’s true. I bought the longer cable from summit but before that I had a funky bend in front of tcase, after the longer one I went behind the tcase.

I used the linkage but I bought longer linkage to try and fix the shift from park but it didn’t make a difference. There was no way threaded rod was going to work with the angles so I gave up on that idea. The shift from park is manageable but not smooth.

Yes, I think I just eyeballed it since the tcase shifter doesn't allow you to lay it down flat and trace, it ended up being close enough and slide under the tcase mount slightly.

Can't find the electronic shifter now, maybe it was for a different trans. Park/Neutral switch was stock 4l60e and hooked up to the stock harness.
