The A pillar mount is from a Honda CRX and I had to trim it a little to fit but pretty easy. I think it run me about $700 for everything.


Yours is a lot nicer looking install Mike. I had to remove the ac comp that I was using for onboard air but I might try to find a big enough shoehorn to fit it back in as I really miss having air on the trail. It seems to work pretty well but I think it's addicted to meth as it likes to drink it on the highway. Might help if I wasn't doing 120km/h though >:D

Yes, factory mounts were cut off and new ones made to line up with axle placement.

Rear upper mounts are in factory position but that may still change. I can't remember front arm length off the top of my head but I think they are around 30"  They end even with my front transfer case output

The twin stick is on the toyota t-case and it does involve a little work inside the case to install

okay what is the difference betwean twin stick and dual casses?

Twin Sticks is a setup that allows you to engage low range and 4wd independently.  On some t-cases it allows you to disconnect the rear drive line and run in front wheel drive.  The advantage of this setup is if you just want to go slow but don't need 4wd you can.  It can also help with maneuvering your vehicle if you have a front locker on tight trails since the front end will not lock up and cause the vehicle to push through corners.

Dual t-cases gives you two low range options, but the rear t-case you still have to be in 4wd to be in low range.  This has the advantage of allowing your gear ratios to stack up.  You can have two 2:1 t-cases and have 2:1 or 4:1.  Or you can have a 2:1 and 4:1 t-cases and have three gearing options of 2:1, 4:1 or both engaged for 8:1.

You can also get real fancy and run both a dual t-case and dual sticks.  :)

The closest I have seen is the kicker series that allows you to mount it to a Samurai t-case or to a Toyota T-case.

You should probably spawn a new thread to discuss options there.
