Toyota Truck shifter extension?

[fjdemon]

I bought a 93 Toyota truck 4x4 that has a 3 inch body lift. Currently the shifter is super low and is awkward to hit gears. Anyone know where I can purchase new extended shifters?

Howdy! Never seen any extensions as a kit. But, when I lifted my truck, I just cut off the shifters and welded in 3 inches of tube. Bent them just a bit also, to make them really fit nice. John

Roger has to have something on his site...


I remember seeing extensions in a North-West off road specialties catalog I have...

That's a borrowed floor.... At my house I have the choice of gravel in the sun or star thistle in the sun...

2ndgen - the bottom of that rig is almost art... did you put on a body lift? Or just hack the hell out of the tranny tunnel etc.? Combo?

Thank you Spruce! It's a 3 inch 4Crawler body lift and a custom drive train lift I built myself. More pics here: https://forum.ih8mud.com/79-95-toyota-truck-tech/316530-green-bastard-my-free-85-4runner-3.html

The skidplates will be easy to make

I like it.

Thanks! I'm out of town just trying to figure out options before I get back in. I may have to extend it myself like you all said. Thanks again

I picked one up from 4 wheel parts for like $24 just a couple of months ago part # i think is per9628

you could also do this,

picked them up for a few bucks off ebay, then cut the stock shifters off and welded these on.

Just be careful of the angles you use on the new position. It is real easy to end up banging your knuckles on the dash. I ended up with mine set up so that in 2nd and 4th the knob is right in my grasp when I am resting my arm on the console cushion. John

yea if you have a clamp use it first, my first attempt my main shifter was way to high.

i did not have a problem with the angle, but i also do not have a body lift, i used my porta band to cut both shifters, so the cuts were straight and i went off that to keep the angle when i welded.
