    Just installed my Hondo Octopus knobs. Look great and improved functionality ten fold.

    Hey there. I ordered a set of the premium AR bolt knobs last week. When is the ballpark time I should expect to receive them? I don't want to keep checking for them excitedly if they are gonna take awhile lol

    Death Valley was great (but windy) was going to try to find you and tell you personally thanks for the awesome products (premium knobs, un-holy mount, and the perfect squeeze) but got caught up in the moment and forgot to look for you LOL
    I was in site 57
    Maybe next year?

    I was parked in overflow. Will probably do it again next year and maybe pahrump or Barstow to Vegas. Definitely tons of fun even with the wind. And no crashed for me. But I did finish off a brand new tire on that 500 :)

    Got my knobs installed last week. Hands down one of the best mods I have done to the truck. Using them daily on my commutes and no longer having to deal with fat fingering the screen accidentally is fucking awesome.

    Just installed these as well. Huge improvement. So much easier to adjust volume/tune knobs now. Great product!

    I got my knobs in the mail yesterday and installed them today. I see everyone post about the awesomeness of these things and thought, "I'm sure they're better, but they're still just knobs". Wrong. They are beyond awesome! Best $25 I've ever spent. Even better than that time in Mexico with the $5 hooker and cheap bag of blow.
    If anyone was on the fence with buying these....do it! It's worth it.

    Thanks @wileydavis

    [​IMG] Installed Premium Knobs yesterday. They are so much better than the Factory slippery saucers. Ease of Operation 100 times better.

    This is really tactless. Dudes providing a valuable product. Don't try to detract from that.

    I have had my premium knobs for a while now and absolutely love them! I've also purchased his dash mount kit and it's rock solid. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his products to anyone.....I sort of hope he quits making new stuff for my truck, I wouldn't be able to help myself from buying them. Pricey? Maybe, but more than worth it to me...keep up the good work!

    Thanks for the kind word, folks. Here's a shot of some premium knobs we started machining yesterday. After this stage they get a second machining operation, then tumbling/deburring, then anodizing, and finally assembly/packaging.

    Since TRD is another company's logo we won't do it. Unless TRD asks us to private label our knobs for them :)

    The issue for me wasn't that the stock knobs were too slippery, it was that they didn't stick out far enough.

    If GoPro can do it. You should too. Put a business plan together and solicit Toyota
