Well, the passenger side will be about 6 foot longer than the driver side in that case. When you make the 90 degree bend at the "center axle" you gonna use a pulley or what? Steel cable don't like being bent at sharp angles. Plus, the cable enters the backing plate at a slight forward angle, you can't come in from the side. I guess I'm wondering why you're making it difficult. The OEM system is about as simple and reliable as it gets.
Couple follow up questions/ comments. You guys that are pro- factory setup may deal with the same conditions I do. I'm in Iowa, so I contend with road salt in the winter, which obviously contributes to increased underbody rust, especially on the exposed factory cables/ brackets/ eyelets.
I don't exclusively offroad with my rig but I do indulge from time to time. Similar to Originalthor, I also get mud and ice caked on everything. Some would say, well if you wash the underbody every time you take it out it wouldn't be a problem. Frankly, 1) I'm not going to do that, and 2) With coated cables I wouldn't have to worry about the corrosion, build-up, or snagging it on things on the trail... nearly as much.
My current system is rusted and broken. Was just looking for a better alternative if there is one.
Just wanted to see if you pro-oem guys deal with these same issues.
