Cleaning stuff up and found this beauty a friend of mine made (custom cast from silicon bronze) years ago for a 1960 4x4 F100 I've regretted selling since the day I sold it. Re-drilled/tapped for this application and very happy about it!!

If anybody gets a hair to put something on their t-case selector, the thread is M12-1.25 (I think that satisfies the "tech" aspect??).

Anybody else swap theirs out for something cool?

Gotta admit, I'm a little jealous.

My friend Juan has been designing shifters and put this one together for me. Love the wood and its monstrous compared to the oem one!

Well, since my dream vehicle is pretty much anything wrapped around a mechanically injected diesel engine, can you blame me?

You still thinking about tossing a diesel in your 80?

Yup. Soon as I can find something that'll work AND I can afford.

I am looking forward to seeing what you end up with. That's way above my pay grade, but it would be cool to have a diesel 80 if it functions the same as a gas one. Do you think it will be easier because you have the FJ80 and it's dumber than the FZJ80?

I thought this was going to be a cup holder thread.

Not really my style, I have to admit

Nope, we are on to bronze castings and diesel conversions. @bhicks took care of the cupholder threads.

Mine either, I am not a skull anything guy. I like cool art, but it doesn't need to have any corpse flair.

I do like the concept of the cast bronze shift lever though.

I would be into a stylized owl casting if anyone was still wondering what they were going to get me for Christmas.

Someone should make a birfield shift knob

He made a little baby head one too back in the day, maybe that one is more up your alley?

At least the giant steel marble part.

I thought skulls like this were to face forward and the eye sockets were finger holes for grip?

You'd have to have pretty tiny hands for that to work with this one

Don’t look away when I’m shifting you!

There’s some kewl epoxy kits that one can make just about anything into a shift ball. I was thinking a seasonal array with a snow globe, sea monkeys, and maybe like a Jurassic era mosquito

I need a shift nob that says this:
