Thanks guys! We should hopefully have the parts back here soon. We're also doing batches of 30+ Kits so we should have no trouble keeping up.

The website is new however, so please let me know if you have any issues!

Diesel, Paypal is currently the only payment we can accept. Although you should be able to use a card without having a paypal account.

That is an awesome price. Did you guys post a thread about this in the vendor section? I bet you'll fill a batch of 30 in no time.

I'll check it out here in a few. If it doesn't work with a card my mom has a PayPal I've used before lol.

Is it definitely going to be shipped on two weeks?

Not sure how the ZJ is set up, but you will most likely, 99% need an extension to the shift lever.

So, the Boostwerks kit and a shift lever from a TJ? According the following link, a TJ lever is longer but still need modification.
I think the best way to do the 242 with this kit is to weld on additional length to shift lever and experiment with hole placement.
I'm game to try it.

Thanks again for the orders guys! I haven't advertised this yet since the price will more than likely have to come up, but I will keep the price low until we get the parts back from plating. The normal price will be $38 Shipped which we feel is still a fair price for this simple kit.

As for those with 242s, TJ's, ZJs... and other odd *****, you are more than welcome to try out the kit that we have. If the kit doesn't work out for you, simply ship it back and I'll refund your $ (- the $5 shipping cost). However, I would maybe wait to order until I have a stock of shift lever extensions. We'll have a simple tab that will bolt to the factory shift lever to extend it's throw.

More to come as well

Great news! Question about the upcoming shift lever extensions...would it require drilling an extra hole in the existing one? That's how I best was able to attach my extension. It takes extra work because you have to remove the center console and the shifter plate thing and all of my bolts had to be drilled out (dang RUST). But I'm anxious to see if there's a better solution!
