well i had this on my last car and liked it so i made 1 for the Jeep.







I like it because i just leave it in the jeep and my other keys in my pocket.
No i dont leave it in the ignition i just put it in the 4WD lever and nobody is the wiser.

That is cool. Is it a blank key that you just have to have cut?

I got a key cut at the dealer, trimmed it down, heated it up a bit and pushed it in.

A large screwdriver handle works great as a shifter too

Which is probably why he said:

And just out of curiosity... how did you get the original screwdriver out of the handle, or did you just get up with Snap On and purchase the handle alone??
