    Shift knob bottoms out on the ring. Mine is a 2nd gen, don’t know if there’s a difference. Knob is made for Tacoma’s, he is a vendor on TW I think.

    Ordered a Speed Dawg 6 spd knob today for $30. Ivory and will change stock one out when it arrives. Wish the boot was not opened up for stock setup but will figure it out. Thanks for the info on this thread.

    How difficult is it to remove the boot completely and then have is sewn to match the shifter diameter? Does it just pull out from the console frame?

    You are correct. This sucker is very cold in the morning (and only 40F outside) - but haven't noticed it ever being hot (in 90+F outside):

    I have known Great comfort when feeling a grenade at hand on my chest rig... but prolly not the kind of comfort you're talking about. And your kind of comfort isn't a factor here, I only hold it for the shift. It's pretty dumb to rest your hand on it or use it for anything other than shifting.

    You're exactly right...I'm not talking about your war stories or expierences so thanks for sharing you're more comfortable with a grenade on your chest? Made a simple comment about comfort level of your shifter. A shift knob is supposed to have ergonomics and not dodads hanging off of it. Careful it could rip your hang nail off. :rofl:

    Bought the Speed Dawg 6spd pattern knob in M12 1.25 but it was ivory (yellowish) in color and 2 inches in diameter. While it looked OK, I wanted a smaller white knob so bought the Hurst Camaro 6spd knob in the 3/8 16 size which was the only thread available. Carefully opened up the hole using progressively larger drill bits until I got to 27/64" and then tapped it to M12 1.25. Looks a TON better than the Speed Dawg and am very happy with it.
