Shifter knob, Rock Nobs
 

I want to get one of these and am trying to determine if it will work or not. Here's a link to them: http://www.rocky-road.com/rocknob.html The ad says they are for screw-on knobs only. I've been told ours slide on and have a set screw that holds it in place. Is that true? And if it is, how do you take it off? The company says it should still work if it has a round post no larger than 14mm. Can anyone confirm that?
Thanks for your help!

Our shift knobs are held on by a retaining screw which can be accessed by lowering the shift boot.

I just like to be different from others, and this is a little peice of difference. The timpanagos one, specifically. It will even match the interior.

Thanks, Slate. How do you lower the shift boot?

Come on now.

Re: Shifter knob, Rock Nobs
 

Now that makes me want to have that as my first thing I buy for the new vehicle, what a great story , even if it's not true:giggling:

Re: Shifter knob, Rock Nobs
 

correction: petrified turd-like

Re: Shifter knob, Rock Nobs
 

really, don't people will laugh behind your back and tell stories.

Re: Shifter knob, Rock Nobs
 

So what's the reason behind all the hate? Is the guy that makes them someone you all know and can't stand? There has to be something because this seems like a neat idea.

And if we can move beyond the bashing, how do I get the shifter knob off/boot down?

Re: Shifter knob, Rock Nobs
 

c'mon don't do it, a rock looks out of place in hi tech hummer:giggling:

Did I say hi tech?:twak:

Besides Rocky road takes forever to ship. Ordered shackles for my H3 from them. They are actually jeep chackles but they fit.

Re: Shifter knob, Rock Nobs
 

why would you even write something like that, do you know this guy?

Thank you marin8703. Nice to see one person coming to my defense... appropriately a Marine (I'm assuming you are one). BTW, I don't know anyone on this site.

Re: Shifter knob, Rock Nobs
 

I quote myself, really would like one of these, I almost bought one for my jeep. I like the contrast to the 3. My story would be...
" I was visiting the painted desert and the petrified forest, I know what the signs say but I could resist I had to take this petrified "turd like" dinosaur dropping. Had a local Indian carve the image on it and decided to make a gear shift out of it." No one in Upstate NY would know the difference
I assume the one in Quadratec is the same manufacture???

No offense H3less. A couple have liked the idea, but only one has said anything close to 'ease up'.

Re: Shifter knob, Rock Nobs
 

No offense taken, not sure what you mean about "ease up" though, unless you were joking about the shifter nob. I do like them, I grew up in AZ and think it would be kinda cool to have one!
