I took a real grenade that was emptied and made it into my new shift knob! first figured out how to get the boot and old knob off. Then how to get the boot off the knob. then drilled the frag grenade.. secured it.. took off the top and trimmed the inside so it could go down where it needed to be. then fixed everything (top flipper and carter pin/ring) so that it wont rattle. Now it is tight, silent, and the perfect weight :) not bad for something i got at a gun show for $5!

Wow so manual vehicles still exist! :-)r

Looking good! If My KJ was a manual that would probably be on my list of mods.

What are your interests. From that pick something cool/ unique. Imagination is the only limit. Things I have thought about if I was to get a stick shift.
Guitar neck
Gun frame
Mortar shell
Cane handle
Wooden pistol grip
2 way radio mic
Hockey stick
Hockey puck
Bronzed baby shoe
Motorcycle grip/ parts

Just some ideas
