New Billet Aluminum Shift Knobs

[futz_roy]

Whats Up people!

I've been working on a couple designs and I've come up with this for a set of knobs for the gear shifter and transfer case shifter. most of the ones I've seen I wasn't a big fan of, so here's mine. Here's the specs

- 7075-T6 Billet Aluminum
- Anodize Type II - Black (or not, IDK what y'all want)
- Red TRD inlay

Cost is going to be $100 for the gear shifter, and $50 for the transfer case shifter, and that's if enough people buy it

I'm currently 3D printing some test parts, and I'll let you know about changes. but look at the pictures, and let me know your thoughts!

I would be in for a transfer case knob.

Sorry

Those shift knobs are ugly as F u c k they look out of place in the interior

Yeah I don’t see a resemblance other then they have open spaces:target:

It's the exact same shape

Cool design. 7075 seems like unneeded cost, but go for it. Having some machine tool experience some of those inside corners look pretty hard to cut...

Yeah, me trying to estimate a cut time on this and come anywhere close to his price point is proving difficult lol.

Never mind.
I see it now.


I'd take the TRD over the OBP inlay.
Not like Toyota would ever know I had one, or would they?.


Or, if you snuck in a tiny "u" for TuRD, then under a magnifying glass...

Honestly, I would too.

I just don't want to turn what was 3 weeks ago a side project into a lawasuit xD

If no TRD branding then I'd prefer it blank, no inlay.

For those people either in a climate that gets really cold or really hot.. a different material would be nice. Ive had aluminum shifters in the past and during the winter you almost have to have a glove on, or leave a glove on the shifter. Likewise in the heat you can burn your hands on them.

I had the AJT for 3 years. no issues. how often are you shifting?

Having conversations with the manufacturer. I'm seeing if that can be an option

Updated, we can do it, and will be an option
