    WHY Would Anyone Have A FAKE Shifter Shaft Whether Or Not It Be Polished??
    Seems Such "application" Of Useless Installation Would Verily Become A Nuisance.
    "Look At My Shiny Shaft" Said Nobody I Ever Heard On The Chatter Box Parked Up At A Truck Slop.

    I do prefer a 6 inch extension... But only because it puts the knob at a more comfortable height for my long arms.

    Has the conversation shifted (intentional pun)?

    Or are we still talking shifters?

    I've got a tall shifter only because it was in the truck when I bought it. I had to replace my splitter valve and was going to take the extension off while I had the stick cover off, but low and behold, there was no extension. Solid stick all the way down. No super trucker here so pull your knobs. Carry on.

    Had some baggy pants guys steal a couple of weed eaters in my old neighborhood, several people chasing them, they made the choice to drop the loot instead of their pants.

    Does this breaking news mean that most of the extra rear view mirrors are fake too? Lol!

    Some of us have short arms and shoulders that are progressively getting worse because we tarp to much. A little taller and a whole lot closer to me makes getting into 15/16 (against the dash and to the right) easier on me. 24A42C5A-0498-4879-BEE9-9777D5085EE9.jpeg

    Always liked my levers kinda like my women, close and convenient.. And if not, took the "torch" them and bent them to my likeness.
    A little applied heat ya know...
