Manual gear shift knob recommendations?

Stay away from billet aluminum if you're in a cold climate

Mine's a billet one-off, and I live in Denver. You're right, I wouldn't want to live in any colder of a climate with that shift knob. It gets warmed up about the same time that I get to my destination during the winter.

PO put in the Drake knob that Quadratec sells here is my wife's solution

Im going to end up on the polar opposite. 115+ will be rough. I figured i would toss a rag on it to keep it out of the direct sunlight while parked.

Yep, I was using it as it was and she cut it down and sewed the end shut.

I like the way y'all think!

I like this look. Is the transfer case knob threaded or did you cut the handle and a set screw holds it in place? Do you have a link?

so I constantly change out my shifter. Not sure why....anywho... I have these in my collection: 40mm target practice round, demiled pineapple grenade, M35 shifter knob, demiled 25mm round,. But currently I made a T-handle. I went to TSC and bought a 5 inch piece of black iron and two 1 inch black iron caps... I then wrapped the center section with green paracord. I will try to get some pics tonight and put them up later if any one is interested...Long store short I bought a 10x1.5M Tap and die for the simple fact I can make anything a shifter.

The transfer case is not threaded it is in by 3 set screws. but it works good. I did replace the transfer case stick from one I bought on ebay though. Here is a link to my knobs

Yeah even though it ended, email them and they will most likely make one for you, or let you know when they are available. I had the same deal when I bought mine.

@Boinked, nice! You really can't say anything bad about matching your ride's paint job. Makes things feel "connected".

You should get a Superduty shift knob just for fun. Just be careful if your wife borrows the Jeep.
