I tried this first, the handle is really thin and bent, worked for a little while.

X2, the handle thing would be cool, but it's just not practical.

I tried that too, but it was a lot mor trouble than I thought it would be, I like how mine looks, it's got a stainless pin coming through the fuse and our the top with a know off the stock radio for a button.

I paid off the loan against my Jeep today! I also changed the headlight bulbs since only one high beam was working. Happy day!

Never liked the way the center console lid went all the way back, so I did this.

Did the same with mine, but I drilled all the way through and used the spoon as the push button for the automatic shifter.

And as for making it work without bending, I set the grenade on the shift lever till the little white plastic piece came through and contacted the spoon and used a harder cotter pin as a pivot point and cut the 2 hooks on the back end off. If any of you want more pics/details pm me and I'll get it to you tomorrow.
