thats sweet, but why spend the money on one that you could make yourself! just drill it out then tap it. pick a rock up outta your driveway or when your wheelin!

makes more sense to me

I agree with both of you but i just thought id throw it up here on cf because ive never seen one actually molded with the gears and everything on there, thought itd be a good addition to the jeep if you had the rock key from quadratech

one thing about a rock shift **** is it will aways be unique and there will never be another just like it.
Think tomorrow when I hit the trails I'm gonna look for one.
Best spot to look would be in a river fo sho!
