    Usually a day or two but we're in the Christmas rush and the great tacomaworld knob rush of 2016. We should have all the orders that came in by the 15th out by Tuesday. Everything else will ship after the 28th.

    I've ordered twice and both times product was shipped in a couple days and arrived a few days later. Expect a week to your door - unless you live in Montana.

    One time I went to a fast-food drive through and they accidentally messed up my order....

    But I remained calm and ate the food...

    Any chance Hondo will look at some sort of adjustable mount for the seats?.....Up & down in front possibly....

    Think about it...

    This is my issue. When I adjust the volume I change the radio station.

    These are GREAT!!! I have a TRD PRO (non-JBL stereo, 2nd pic in the OP). I highly recommend these knobs. They have the perfect fit and feel...solid and not plasticy. Well done, HONDO GARAGE!!!

    Got mine yesterday. Took four days from the date I ordered the knobs to the day they were delivered. These knobs are a solid upgrade and well worth the cost.

    However, I did have a few problems. Not with the knobs, but with my chubby little fingers. I found it difficult to remove the old knobs, but eventually they did fly off into the back seat.

    Then I noticed that one of the set screws had vibrated out of one of the new knobs, however, It was safely sealed in a plastic envelope. The set screw was about the size of a poppy seed. I was concerned that if I dropped the set screw, I would never see it again. I held the set screw between my forefinger and thumb until I was under a bright light over the kitchen table. I wasnt even sure I still had the set screw. With the included Allen wrench, I easily put the set screw back in the knob.

    Then I had some difficulty trying to install the knobs. The knobs slide on easily, but here again I had some trouble trying to tighten the set screws. I kept loosing sight of the hole where the set screw was located. With determination and a flashlight, I was able to eventually tighten the set screws. Mission accomplished.

    Took me about 35 minutes to get the knobs installed. I probably could have done it much quicker if I was about 50 years younger, and had better eyesight.

    If you are over 70 years old, you might want to get your grandson to install these knobs. I didn't know they made set screws that small.

    The knobs are well machined and look great in my truck, and the best thing is the radio still works.

    In the works.
    I agree with everyone here. The added tactile feel makes interacting with the radio via the volume and tuner knobs feel way more ... accurate.
