Manually shifted AW4 via three switches. This is not complete, just waiting to finish my cupholder/switch housing that will go in place of the crappy factory plastic one that breaks.

I finally hacked off the top of my old nasty bent up brush guard that came on my Jeep when I bought it.

Then I put the Sawzall away and got out the sand paper, and then I Spray on Bed-Linered it...

there's many write ups on naxja about manually controling your aw4. i ran bretts awshifter for 5 yrs and worked great but worn out. i now run RADesigns rockshifter with rail shifter. it is the best mod you can do to the trans. it gets it under your control not the tcu's

here's a link to RADesigns
