Looks nice, does it shift better before or after you take one of those presciption pills in the pic, Mine always shifts better after a pill:icon_rofl:

I don't know if its just me but I can't stand those types of shifters. I prefer a stock ball.

Same here, I spent an hour looking through the wrecking yard for a stock 5 speed shift knob. My Bronco 2 now has one but it came out of an F-250, much better than the whatever it was the previous owner had on there that would rattle around and come off in your hand. Just hope I never need to yank the transmission out because the shift knob is epoxied onto the end of the shift lever.

I'm not crazy about then either but I like the look and it's already growing on me. My other option was a pistol grip....literally. :)

Ps sorry my truck is messy lol. It's very utilitarian since I work full time (and overtime), go to school, I'm doing an internship, and I still do odd jobs for extra cash here and there.

Next I'm gonna camo the interior. :D you know once I get some money back from uncle Sam for what I spent on my education. Lots of stuff planned but just need money lol. More time than money but oh well. Me and the wife are planning a kid too.

Used my Christmas break redoing the living room into a modern entertainment system with the works :D took a lot of time and I'm still not finished lol.

What do you mean?
Check out the thread title. It looks the like the first two words you typed are actually at the end. My computer does this thing where if my wrists are resting on the case while I type it will jump the cursor back to the beginning of the line.

I hear you, but I posted from my phone and it auto corrects. In my excitement to share I didn't notice it :-\
