Custom Billet Shift Knob for Toyota Tacoma (2-1/4" diameter). ***Utilizes factory boot.***

@7r41lbr34k3r Any thoughts on a waitlist incase any of the current listed drop out? I’d like to be on that list.

 

I want to do this but just cannot open those floodgates again. It probably wouldn't be so bad on a secondary level like this, but it has been the "Uncle Bad Touch" of the ordering process, so call me scarred for life ... haha ... *cries while holding a strong smile*.

 

Got the painting done

 

Looks really good. What type of paint did you use.

 

Acrylic model paint

 

Sub'd for next run!!

 

How did you apply the paint? What did you use to wipe off the excess paint? Is this something I can pick up at hobby lobby or michaels?

 

Used a toothpick to smear the paint on in sections and used paper towels to wipe it off before it dried

 

Got the paint off of eBay. But should be able to get it from Michael's

 

I have a testor’s enamel paint kit I bought years ago and never used it. Do you guys think that will work to fill the engraving? Anyone try using enamel paint on their knob?

 

Don't see why not. From what I understand the enamel want dry as fast as acrylic paint. Might even work better

 

Testors Enamel Works Great! at least on Ti and Delrin

 

Uh oh, 2nd Genners are onto me (saw the Tacomaholic "Anonymous" build thread) ... there goes the neighborhood.

I thought about creating a thread like this one over in the 2nd Gen parts section, but I really have no business doing that until I can keep up with demand here.

Don't get me wrong I am thrilled that word is spreading, just didn't want to be the one jumping into the deep end.

Be gentle.

 

Our selection of quality and good looking shift knobs is not that great

 

brb, quitting my day job.


I kid ... really is surprising considering it is one of the most popular trucks on the road.

 

Here is a compatability chart if you want to give it a wipe with some chemistry power. Looks great!

I mean it's a std thread pitch for shifters just what's available is kinda eh

 

Yeah, I guess what sets me apart is that most of these designs were created due to requests on the forum. I may have carried out the work, but TW members are my muse and driving force behind literally everything you see in the first post.

 

I'm in on the one with the delrin collar that thing looks good! With SR5 engraved in the top.

 

This is what I have for that as of now, but nobody has asked for it yet. I'm guessing there is a different font style for 2nd Gen? If yes and there is a good chance for repeatability I generally do not charge a custom fee to develop new engravings (unless they are time intensive). Hit me with a picture and I can get it ready for future orders.
