I think the brackets are most likely for an antiwrap bar for the rear axle. Can't wait to see that exo cage!

Got something new in today. I've been pretty excited about getting this. Can't wait to get it hooked up and try it out. Looks like it will be after this weekend when I get a chance to install it. All this rain has gotten me so far behind. This will change the xj to a manual gear select. No more depending on the auto to choose when to shift from 2nd to 3rd, and from 3rd to 4th (not that it will see 4th much).

It's by RADesigns. It is the Baja 2 shifter. It was developed for Jeepspeed use, and then rock crawlers saw the potential and started using them. It is for the AW4 and also variations found in Nissans and Toyotas. It is a pretty clever design. You can wire up a real cheap manual selection using toggle switches, but for $200, I like the functionality of the gated shifter. It will be a big help in keeping the AW4 from shifting into 2nd on declines while relying on the gears instead of the brakes...Plus it will make it more interesting and fun to drive. I've read nothing but good things, so I'm pretty stoked about it. They also make a smaller "thumb" type shifter marketed more toward the crawlers for only $100.

Coming along quite nicely I have to say Jeffrey Not seeing a Reverse option on that kick ass shifter tho???
