In dash throttle screw
 
Has anyone tried installing one to gain a small amount of throttle during off road?
I thought of a choke cable but I think a screw knob would work better.

I attached an old 3-speed bicycle shifter to my transfer-case handle and ran a cable to the throttle body.

One of these..

I used to run a snowmobile throttle to my gear shift lever, and Rubicon Express sells a hand throttle kit, there may be others that sell them.

Industrial or light aircraft parts suppliers can also supply you with "vernier" control cables - they allow fine control of a remote mechanism (like choke or throttle) by turning the knob. The better ones have a button as the front of the knob - slap the knob is to return to "zero" condition.

Use a flexible coupling of some variety (a few inches of chain, usually) to attach the control cable end to the throttle linkage - that will allow normal operation and the ability to override the cable if you need to.

The three-speed bicycle shifter is a good idea (you can give five- or six-speed cables as well,) but it may limit you with detent settings. Also, the pull knob of the vernier controller can be seleted to make the installation look like it came from the factory (which I'm big on.)

This is exactly what I wanted to hear. Save me time.

I will likely do this.
start with a standard choke/throttle cable with a removable knob. Extend the threads for the knob far enough down the shaft to allow the knob to screw down to the bezel. put a fiber washer between the knob and the bezel to prevent binding. Drill the knob out and/or shorten the shaft to allow the clearance for adjustment.
