He likely won’t respond. He sold his TJ years ago and hasn’t been active since. Maybe you’ll get lucky.

He's being a creepy lurker

@Stubby75 - hard to say. They were scarce when I got mine back in 2018. If you want, I can take a look out in my workshop. I ended up getting 2, as I thought the first one was shaped wrong, but the 2nd one was exactly the same. I modified it a tad to make it work. If I didn't get rid of it in the great Jeep clearance some time back, you are welcome to it for the cost of shipping. I can't guarantee that I still have it, though.

Just like the good ol' days - nothing but good will toward your fellow man...

That would be great. If you find it please let me know

I did a cursory search this morning before heading to work - I found the threaded knob, but not the rod. I will look more extensively tonight.

If not there, another option you have is to cut off the last bend of the stock shift lever put threads on the end. Some have done that with success.

Appreciate you looking again tonight. One already built would be great and preferred. I saw the pictures of how the guy built one by cutting off the stock end and welding on a new boat which is something I might try down the road if you can’t find yours

No luck. I must have found a taker previously, although I don't find a post regarding it. It's also possible I had to return it to the seller on Ebay...don't recall.

Sorry - good luck with your search.

Finished up the transfer case shifter mod today, after having received a replacement shift rod from

http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-5...0001&campid=5337789113&icep_item=222704377496

Unfortunately, the second shift rod was just like the first one. I ended up just cutting about 3/16 off the end of the rod, to make it match the length of the oem shift rod, and drilled a new hole for the spring clip. Works perfectly now, shifts like it's supposed to. Here's the photos of the installation, and now I just have to decide whether to go with the 1 7/8" knob, or the 2 1/8" knob. I like the looks of the larger knob, but my hand hits it when I shift the automatic transmission shifter, it's a bit too close. I think the larger knob would work great with a standard transmission shifter. Here's some photos of the project:

Larger shift knob:
View attachment 58992 View attachment 58993

Now, after the completed installation. First, the larger knob:
View attachment 58995 View attachment 58996 View attachment 59002

And the smaller knob:
View attachment 59007 View attachment 59008 View attachment 59009 View attachment 59010

I think I will stay with the smaller knob, it just seems to work better. All in all, I'm happy with how it turned out. It's a lot easier to grab and shift than the oem shifter, which you have to reach for...
