If you're in 4x4 for extended periods it can get annoying but the knob is what hits my leg for the most part so not too bad or bad enough I've taken the linkage out and bent it which I'd thought of but meh...

I have long term projects, I'd planned what I wanted to do for the extended radius arms on my '90 for almost 15 years before I did it, I did find the parts I had stashed so that was a plus...

We live at the top of a very steep hill that is nearly impassible in the snow, this Explorer is part of my snow plan for that hill. I may try using a little bit shorter stick than what you have in your picture @scotts90ranger to minimize the leg interference issue, as great majority of the time would be spent in 2WD. I don't mind reaching a little further down if it's more out of the way, it would also make for a little shorter throw to engage too. I'm used to jumping out to engage hubs so it would be a nice change from that practice.

The plan is to try and increase the highway mileage a little bit if possible. A pair of Torque Monster headers are also in the future plans.

In 2wd it doesn't hit my leg at all unless I have the seat really far forward for some strange reason, cutting a couple inches off the stick would be easy though then just thread it or weld a bolt on for an aftermarket shift knob or something... or just take some length out of it, the shifter only moves like 6" from 4x2 to low range so it's not a long throw anyway, if I think of it I'll get some pictures with me sitting normal tonight...
