    i made mine similar to this, although i used 1/4 drive uni's and a 1/4 drive extension with a 1/4 drive tbar on top to engage/disengage.
    and to save some work, you can use a 1/4 drive (13mm from memory) socket on the nut on top of the cdl actuator and i just siliconed that in place. then the uni, then the extension bar up through the tunnel and console.

    Forgive my lack of knowledge, but can you activate your cdl in both high and low range? Bob

    theres a fair amount of $$ difference between the two applicators though

    Question?? Why would you make a $20000 landy look like a series landy. When the cdl kit is only a $500 job and factory??

    Because I didn't/don't have $500 to blow on a factory kit when a $20 "fix" does an equally effective job (and give's me some self satisfaction, knowing I did something useful on my own!). And as I have no intention of selling the vehicle on, I don't really care much for the vanity option! By the way, when I did that mod, the CHEAPEST I could find a "factory kit" for was $950, and that was the same for a second hand one. No-brainer option really at the time for me.

    Some of us don't have that kind of "spare" money to blow on the fancy-pants accessories, especially when we are quite happy to use cheaper alternatives, even if they be home made.
    Next you'll be telling me my SuperCheap $110 spots on the front aren't good enough/expensive enough to light up the road!!

    Well, you did ask!

    Each to their own I suppose.....
