[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 428150, member: 18789"] [B]Shift Knobs[/B] Later in 2020, I decided I had enough of mismatched shift knobs. I was running a very pitted aluminum transmission knob from B&M, and the stock transfer case knob. I opted for the black 8-ball style from Core Shifters. The great thing about these is they are actually threaded for a YJ, so they fit perfectly and don't need any threaded adapters. I find the adapters never work. They come loose, get stuck inside the knob, etc. These are made for the YJ, match each other, their threaded jam nut fits perfectly and overall, they are decently priced at around $40 each. I highly recommend these for YJ owners. Super sleek look too. Please pardon the very messy Jeep I took these pictures in, it is really haphazard in there with the dash being torn apart as I work on a lot of projects at once.
