I ordered mine from OEM Toyota Parts & Accessories | Lowe Toyota Parts Center the prices were pretty much the same everywhere but they were the first place I came across that had both knobs in stock.

Awesome - thank you!
I'm resurrecting this thread as I just did this swap myself with an 8mm set screw. However, the knob turns until it's just about tight then, with about another quarter turn, it's suddenly more loose than it was. Rinse and repeat when I start to turn it again. Should I just dab it with a little blue Loctite? Wrap some plumbers tape on the lever before the knob goes on? Ideas on what my issue is? Thanks all!
I was wondering if I wore out the threads myself. Hopefully that's not the case but we will see. I'd really like to not have to buy a second one haha

It’s been a few years but I just inserted a small 3D printed spacer inside the shifter. From what I remember, the shifter is a bit tall for the 5th gen threaded shifter rod. Don’t quote me on that, I can be wrong…
You thread it inside the shaft so it acts as a spacer to give you enough space so the shifter does not hit the bezel trim piece.
It acts as a spacer. Pro tip, I'm an idiot and didn't realize you need to pull the top section off to run the set screw in. I kept wondering why my hex wouldn't reach. The more ya know.

This mod is cosmetic?

Correct. The FJ factory knob matches the t-case knob almost perfectly and looks much better than factory.

Now y'all have me thinking about doing this. It's always bothered me that there's a big knob sitting on top of a skinny post (insert juvenile sexual reference here) and looks so out of place with so much of the post showing.
