The install was pretty easy and strait forward though. The one problem with an atlas install is the t-case shift indicator switch. It is basically as 4 position switch to operate the 4wd dash light and tell the computer what gear the t-case is in so it can put the ESP in the correct mode. The atlas does not have a provision for this switch, it does have a provision for the old TJ switch but is useless for a JK, they could easily make it work by modifying the shift rail to add detents for the switch but they don't. Without the switch the ESP will work normally but will not turn off automatically in 4wd low like it is supposed to, but on the upside you can turn it off manually anytime (in 2wd also) with the button like you can in 4wd high. Advance adapters says they are working on some other thing to address this problem, but probably not any time soon. I'll post up a thread with the complete install when I get a chance.

nice, thanks for the insight, I think it'll be many years until i do this swap..
