Replacing a Worn Out Shift Knob, Part 1
The factory gear shift knob on my 1985 Toyota 4Runner is falling apart, time to see about replacing it.
I have an extra B&M shift knob that I got with the B&M short throw shifter that I installed in the truck about 20 years ago:

I never liked that knob as it's solid metal and in the winter, it'll freeze your hand, it's very cold. Plus it has no shift pattern on it.
I found this simple 5 speed gear shift knob model on Thingiverse:

Nice simple design, has the proper shift pattern and I think this one can be adapted to be a replacement. Will need to add one of our shift lever extensions to be able to thread it onto the Toyota shift lever:

More to come, making the 3D printed part look more finished...
