I want to chop off my transfer case lever - Am I crazy?

[Viejo]

Thanks for all the feedback everybody. If I don't hear a serious objection by mid week, I'll probably go for it.

I'll probably stick with my original plan. I think I need more leverage than a shortie would provide. On a related note, I'm not worried about making it stiff and hard to engage - it already is

I did it on a recent conversion, worked great. Cut it a few inches above the floor, sleeved the upper section and drilled/tapped it for a set screw.

SMB West put short levers (cut the originals, thread the ends, screw the knobs back on) on my Atlas transfer case to allow the seat to swivel. They're a bit more difficult to operate but work well enough.

What is required for drivers seat to swivel? (other than this clearance of shifters) I assume this swivel was an option?

Quigley actually offers what they call a Breakover Shifter for that purpose. I had it done on my build. It unscrews out of the floor while in camp. I do not know that you could add it easily but you could call them.

Quigley offers the removable lever. But you could probably cut it, then tap and die the ends.

You're from Arcata and you're worried about looking crazy for shortening your shifter?
Arcata has changed since my last visit.

[Viejo]

Rest easy. Arcata hasn't changed a bit. And I've never claimed not to be crazy in other respects.

It's just that I'd never seen such a modification and wanted to be sure that there wasn't a deal breaker that I had overlooked. Thanks to all the great feedback here it looks like there isn't, so I'm defiantly going to get it done before our next trip.
