I am not sure about the short throw shifter thing man, because no matter what you do with the stick you will still have to shift the same distance because thats how the gears in the tranny are set up.

there was a mini truckin article that showed how to put a short throw in a taco so they must have one for a ranger as well if you want to go ghetto style you can cut the shifter down some to make it shorter between shifts

the seats are in and i will post pics soon, now i just need to start on the console, i am thinking of making it look shorter with a shift boot and a high console, but my shifts are from radio to seat, i dont like that.

use a shorter rod. the shifter is bolted to the transmisson,
undo the shifter by undoing the bolt and linkage.
seats -- to do the 60/40 to buckets just got the arm rest with a saw,and re do the seat back up.

interior board should be a write up there.
