    Just idiot points for that. Now if he'd dumped all the air out of the seat so he was sitting 6 inches lower, super trucker points would have been awarded.

    Those extended shifters make the noise toys on your cb get out farther I think.

    Mr Lester, I get it. I understand. Can't explain it, but I get it. When I saw the shifter, and my first thought is, "This driver is cool."

    Most guys don't care. They walk around looking like a bunch of pregnant mares, driving cookie cutter POS fleet trucks and counting beans. They always tell you, "Chrome doesn't get you home."

    There are certain thing that you do to a truck for you, the driver to feel like you're part of the machine. The steering wheel is one, the shifter is another. And last but not least is the aftermarket seat. In this day and age where so many prefer an auto, you're rocking the custom tall shifter. And they shudder and gasp, "How do you shift that???" I've driven a shoulder height shifter before and I actually liked it a lot...but something was missing. I saw your picture and I said to myself, "Perfect!" The tilt was missing on the one I drove. For many, it's about the sleeper. For you, it's about the driver.

    bobbyhill, Orangees, lester and 2 others Thank this.
  10. The creation of the high stick shifter, was designed so people know you are not driving an automatic.

    bottomdumpin and MJ1657 Thank this.
