    Got mine earlier this week, ordered an extra set for the 4wd knob. Wasn't sure how I liked them at first but the look of them has really grown on me, they are a lot nicer looking than the stock ones.

    The same shit everyone else has.
    Is anyone else having an issue where they are using the round knob on the 4wd selector and it not going into 4L?

    I was discussing with another member and it didn't work on his truck but worked on mine no issue. His wont engage into 4L because the knob won't press and twist the into position.

    How many of you guys out there are having the same issue? How many people got the knob to work fine? I'm really curious to see what the concesus is.

    Hit em with a little bit of red paint like I did and they'll match pretty damn well.

    How did you paint them, I was thinking of testing out using a sharpie in one when I got my second set.

    I'd like to see how the sharpie turns out. Would much rather use that, if it works that is.

    Sharpie is too transparent I believe.

    I used rattle can red spray paint and a small paintbrush. Sprayed a little in the cap and brushed it on.

    2013 TRD O/R Automatic Transmission. Just got mine in the mail today 4WD works as advertised in 4H and 4L. Maybe they are not putting the transmission into neutral before trying to rotate and push the selector to 4L. Even then it should go just beep at you.

    Thanks, if anything I'll paint them, will mess around with that stuff once I get the second set.

    Got my second set in- after I drilled out the first ones- and these fit better with no modification. the first set was from AMAZON and this set from AliExpress. Same box, same numbers, better fit. Anyhow, I put on a little teflon tape and they are now nice and secure!

    So, does anyone have a spare un-modified dial in black?

    I may try to enlarge the hole on one of the ones I drilled out and see if I can get the spring clip out of the back of the 4x4 dial to fit it... I'm not hopeful though. I'll probably eff it up. Hence the asking for a "spare" dial.
