Thanks Kevin, I am gonna check with Richard (I really am gonna call you Richard) but if he dosen't have anything, can you make it one piece, 3"X5"? 

I'd like to get this done before D-Town.  Although it doesn't affect the driveability of the Jeep, I just have an annoying rattle and I think this is the culprit.

Yeah right. I thunk Im free sat if you want to ride over.

Everytime I pick up the phone to call you, someone else walks in wanting something from me. :fu(

That's cool. I'm having one of my night shift employees
cut 2 pcs 3'' x 5'' tonight if it's slow. If you don't need
them thats fine.

Thanks Richard!!!  Linkage fixed!!!  It was actually a little rattle, but by the time it resonated up through the floorbords of my Jeep, it was a loud thumping.  At first I thought it was something a lot more serious.

I even got a couple Pics.

First - the linkage before.

Second - Jeep Linkage bracket with the body lift extension bracket attached.

Third - Body lift bracket next to my new bracket. 

I think it turned out pretty good considering I only had a hand drill and sawsall to build it with.  And, I had to build it twice.  When I installed the first one, the linkage was perfectly parallel with the ground.  But the end of the linkage (red arrow in first picture) was hitting on the transmission (green arrow).  I built the second one about 1/2" to 1" shorter than the first.  Works perfectly. 

I'll post up more about it when I start my "Project Thread" this Spring.  Gotta take the top off first so the pictures come out.

if I had seen this before I could have givin you my stock t-case shifter bracket and the little plate you made that came with my BL. I went with the advanced adapters bracket that takes locates the shifter to the tcase instead of the body. looks like youre good to go now.
