First you have to yank off the stock shifter. Just put it in drive and pull. I bought this grenade at a flea market on Sunday. Bottom of it already had a hole in it so i just had to file it a little bigger so it fit on tight. Than I drilled a 1/4" hole threw the top part of the grenade to allow a rod to pass threw. I used a 3/16" rod with a hose at the end to connect to the stock shifter lockout. Slipped everything over the rod,cut rod down to size reinstall. Put handle back on and pull pin and your done. Functions great only issue is im gonna have to reinforce the handle with a small plate cause the pressure to squeeze handle bends it. I just have to squeeze from higher up for now and its fine. Overall it was a easy mod.










Heres is a pic of where handle needs to be reinforced.


and i tried posting in xj mods but i guess i dont have permission.

 

Looks really cool, good job!

 

That's sick I got a grenade and was thinking how I could do it but never thought you could , so what about the button on the old shifter handle you have to push in the button to shift it, how do you do it once the grenades on ?

 

U just squeeze handle lever and it unlocks so u can put into gear

So you made the lever on the grenade push in ? Just as it would be a button

 

Ya the top of the handle forces the rod down when squeezed

 

make me one lol

Just gana put this out there Cherokee owners with autos. Would love to customize there xj like that or something similar but the options are just not there

 

Its very simple. You can get grenade from army surplus stores for like 10-15 bucks. I happened to have everything needed to make it work.

 

All the army surplus stores around here are long gone, least as far as I know.

 

eBay is your friend.

 

very cool project

 

I made one last month, it was cool but impractical especially off road.
