Wheredya get the transfer case shift rod?
OP
That one was one of my original choices on Amazon, but I already made a few, one from rock and two different ones from snooker balls

"Originaller", I like that!
As far as the transfer case shift rod, I purchased it from an ebay store called Off-Road Enthusiasts. It's been on a couple years now and have had 0 problems with it.
OP
On the subject of the originaller and bestest... LOL (Yes, I am very modest)
I made three more shift knobs today I cast these from hard, clear polyurethane and added some pigment to make two of them red since my Jeep is red. The clear one has the Red Star in it to commemorate the faithful service of the Willys MB in the Red Army during the Great Patriotic War. Both of my grandfathers did as well.
The red in the middle has a 308 bullet with a boat tail, which is what I load for my long range rifle.
The second red has the US Geological Survey medallion from the monument valley of the Navajo Indians were I off-roaded once and made some friends.
Unfortunately, the original billiard's ball was not new and pretty damaged. I polished it the best I could before I made the mold but the imperfections are visible. Oh well, I am still happy.

The knob I found on Amazon. The straight shifter lever on eBay after I saw it posted here somewhere. Here’s a link to the knob >> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009FRG508/?tag=wranglerorg-20 I did have to tap it out to fit the shifter lever.
I see that it is for a YJ...did you have to drill & tap it, or use an insert with different threads? I don't know how the YJ shift knob attaches...

The knob for the transfer case I tapped out, the transmission knob threaded on no problem.

What stick is that with the bend on the bottom? Or can i just rotate the oem one? I put in a radio on my tj that has a charge station that comes out and folds down. But now my 3rd and 5th gears the now brushes the charge station so i need to gain some room

The stick is a B&M.
The OE shaft can't rotate, but it can be bent.
Shimming the belly pan with a washer or two on each bolt might provide the angle you need.
good god your gear shifter looks like a vibrator
Twins. Mines gets too hot to handle in the summer.
We got a lot in common besides derailing threads!!!!!!

I thought I posted mine in this thread - it's a vintage 5 speed shifter knob that has been in my '62 Corvette that I built back in the early '90's, then in my '65 GTO from the early 2000's (both with Doug Nash 5 speeds), then in 4 of the 5 Wranglers I've owned, including my present '04 Columbia Edition. The "emblem" in the background is from my late mother-in-law's jewelry box - the Greek words say "Aspire, Seek, Attain" - a nice remembrance from a fine lady:
