For a couple of hundred dollars more and a few hours of my time, I got and fitted an Ashcroft linkage, which replaces the standard Hi-Lo selector.

been digging deep in the search to try and answer my questions, but I thought I'd again tack onto the end of an old post instead of starting a new thread.

What is the off-the-shelf CDL activation kit that people recommend? Ashcroft seems to come up a lot but they are out of stock.
I came across another one that someone highly recommended (even came with an updated H/L range sticker!) but I can't find it again even after thrashing the search..

Thanks guys

I have mine sitting here waiting to be fitted.

As I'm not sure how I'll go doing it myself I thought I'd get a quote to have it fitted.

First mob wanted $600 to fit it.

I used the design on this site CDL discovery 2, fitted. - SA 4x4 Community Forum (CDL discovery 2, fitted. - 4x4 Community Forum)

Easy to put together and install - $40 for the bits and took me about 5-6 hours of mucking around to fabricate the bracket that goes onto the spiggot and to fit every thing up then weld etc. But I'm very slow......Other than that pretty straight forward. Some won't like it as it doesn't look factory but it suited my needs and performed faultlessly for the last 2 years - and is 'in vehicle' activation...

As Offtrack has said go for the .50 CDL kit....you can get the sticker too and Del is a great guy to deal with...

Thanks a bunch guys - that is the exact site that I was looking at but couldn't remember the name of!

I'm going to try and do the install myself, my speciality is in human body mechanics, not so much automotive mechanics.. it seems straightforward, would this classify as a novice level installation?
