Sweet ride, sounds like a great trail rig, what did you think of Bill Moore Lake? It is on my short list of trails to do soon.

thanks guys, i love that thing. cannot wait to meet all of you guys. i thought bill moore lake was pretty cool trip. for me it was close, had a group of 4 rigs and was fun, not to hard for my newbe buddys. also had some good obstacles.

Skis look great. I am cutting my rockers off due to the rust, holes, etc. I will need to make some of these in 2011. I look forward to seeing what you did with yours.

Great looking truck - I like the tasteful upgrades rims, tires, lift, interior, bumper, etc. while keeping it mostly original. Really nice restoration. Love the color - just like my Brother had.

Twin stick on the 205 is simple. I used 2 stock sticks to make mine. Its easier to pull the t case.

Here is the only pic I have. I hit the junk yard and grabbed another stock stick. I cut the mounts in half so they both fit on the stock pivot bolt. I had pulled the t case out to grind the shift rails so it would work. then just had to fab up the linkage from the shifters to the rails. It's really easy to do.
