    I like that he made a knob specifically for the 4WD switch....but man, they've got to be BANK!

    I'd worry that the added weight of the aluminum knobs over plastic ones might make the knob assembly more likely detach from the circuit board.

    In a Facebook post he estimated the 3 piece FJ set at $75, so yeah a little above the AJT ones. They typically are milled out on the backside some which keeps weight down, but I have no idea....I wouldnt worry on the weight thing.

    This actually happened to me too, the little tabs that hold it on mine.. they didn't all break, two of them did. So mine still stays in place and works. Sometimes it'll kind of drop a little and I'll just push it back in. I wish I'd left the factory knobs on to be honest. Haha

    He has more pictures/info on his Facebook page. The FJ set (3 knobs) will be about $75....so I'd imagine that a 4WD Tacoma set (4 knobs) will be about $100? :notsure:

    Yep, milled aluminum. He's apparently also offering anodized colors. They're not my style but I'm sure someone will want them.

    Does anyone have the AJT black climate control knobs with red screws and matching shift knob? If so will you post a pic of both together (installed on the truck)?

    I have both but in black/stainless screws. I can snap a picture of mine if you want. I originally ordered mine with black hardware as I was on the fence about what I wanted and stainless was easier/cheaper to source locally if I changed my mind.
