    I made this one back in hs for my '91 toyota pickup. Made from a scrap aluminum that we had poured into a cylinder shape

    I added knurling on it but managed to hit the top half twice offset so it was smoother than the bottom half. fits your hand amazing.

    Cool, was checking those out in the showroom when we bought the wife's RAV4. FJ auto knob is very cool looking...and tall too.

    I had a revolver barrel one from walmart for awhile but I broke it trying to keep it on there tightly. A friend and I have made a few beer tap ones too

    I think so too, real good. First thing I noticed in the showroom was how good the perforated pattern would gel with the door panels and dash bezel..............

    It's on the same shorty shift lever I used on my Gen 1 Taco for 17 years. It fit perfectly on my 2012.
