My cupholders are too far forward and low, next to the stick. More cupholders in the armrest or somewhere might be the only mod I ever do.

Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
Tasteful is subjective.

I think a good mod would be the addition of a bikini clad woman in the passengers seat, but there's still people who think it's distasteful for a woman to wear clothes that show skin above the knee 🤷‍♀️

In all seriousness though, guages are nice. Bigger beefier tires are always an option, recovery gear like straps, comealong, shovel..

I'm a big fan of tinted windows.

A shifter extension so the knob is level with the dash would be amusing.. for awhile anyways..

the grey-t escape
I did add a extension to my hurst shifter, only about 2” though. just felt like the shift knob was too low. a cut-off 3/8-16 bolt and all-thread connector make it quick & easy to do. small peice of 5/8 heater hose over it.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

By the time you get it that high, the throw would be a mile between even and odd gears. A short person would poke their eye out on it.

time for an update?
For a minute I was going to say I thought I gave an update recently, but then I realized you don’t have access to that section :thefinger:

I did this in my choptop… it was somewhat accidental, I wasn’t thinking clearly when I measured and cut the shifter. It is a mile between shifts and completely ridiculous. Yet… I haven’t changed it. Kinda rat rod flavor

drives a stick shift ranger
I think @LearningStick has one that should be investigated. Even though big gulps had been out for many moons,. My 04 ranger cup holders only fits coffee mugs and 12oz cans.

I need a cup holder mod for a large sweet tea from Whataburger
