    OEM Transfer Case linkage issue - with a 2 inch suspension life and transfer case drop (to realign the rear drive shaft), my OEM transfer case linkage geometry is out of alignment, causing the shifter link rod to routinely pop out of the hole - Part 11 below. Consequently, I am considering a...

    Where can I find an automatic TJ shifter bezel?

    to restart this thread - i notice the part numbers for early and late model automatic bezels are different and most websites (with the exception of eBay) don't say they won't fit but also don't say they will fit - any opinions?
