DO you happen to have an install video for us DIY'ers? Looking at picking up one of these soon!

No I dont but I can send you the instructions via Email. Presntly, I dont have a FSJ with a NP229 [NP208]. I will make a video when I get the chance on The Slab64

your site shows out of stock. When will you have these back in stock? Can you send the install instructions as well. Thanks

I have them. I have to manage inventories on two sites. Ill fix it

Hay Guys a quick question related to your NP229. My question is: does your NP229 have the Vacuum motor/2WD-4WD on the outside lever on the transfer case or the inside lever [closest to the transmission]. Every 229 case I've ever worked on/removed had the 2WD/4WD lever on the outside [driver's side] and the Hi/LO closer to the center-inside. However, recently I had a customer tell me after his Tcase rebuild that they were reversed. Is this possible-did New Process change which lever did what later in the years? Thanks for your input.

No input? Im wondering if the rebuilders got the linkages switched.. Seems that its almost impossible to shift into low range in this configuration.

These shifters are selling well--approx' 4 per month. Im stocked up for Xmas!!

Figured I would post some pictures of the unit I bought installed- great piece and very happy with how it turned out. Thanks.

I have a new video up speaking of refurbishing the J10 headliner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mxe0u3FC2M

The NP229 is my best seller! Currently, 100's sold.
Ill have my Long Travel FSJ suspension system up for sale by the end of the year and Ill have a Video of the installation on my '81 Cherokee showing the difference between the current Rancho springs with the Steep Arch and shackle angles compared to the new longer springs with Slider Boxes.

I ordered one a long time back, looks and feels great. I followed your instructions for install and it works great. My only concern is the throw from 2-4wd is like a 1/4”. Is this generally a very short throw on the 229 or did I more likely do something wrong with the linkages?

Thanks for your help!

To me, this seems like it would be normal. The vacuum shift motor didn't have much movement length due to the diaphragm design. Maybe 3/4". Linkage arm length differences from either ends of the pivot points could shorten the throw on your end even more.

There is adjustment in the linkage length-just need to make sure the shift leaver dosent hit the floor mount frame before engaging the Tcase. To gain more throw you can move the linkage up on the shifter-towards the pivot. If its still not enough, drill another hole for the linkage closer to the center pivot. Let me know how it works out for you
