I had a ton of old shift knobs from my Subaru days. The great thing about the Subaru knobs is that their diameter is much bigger than most automatic sticks. A few mins on Amazon, and a few days for shipping, and I was in possession of an adapter to play with.

I have been using the factory TRD knob from day one, and while nice, it's a common knob in the Tundra world. You can see it in this pic here.




On to the adapter.

First off, I had to try out one of my old school jdm bubble knobs.

First impression, this thing is hilarious. It's big, bold, and gets in the way. But it brings me back to the days when we used to extend our knobs and e-brakes because jdm

Second, I tossed on my STi-WR1 knob. It's a beautiful, heavy machined knob that came with the WR1 special edition STi. I loved this knob when I had my STi, and it doesn't disappoint in my truck.


At this point I knew what I wanted to do. So I reattached my TRD knob and went back to Amazon to order a leather boot. That should finish the look well.

This is in it's original element, a 2004 STi WR1. The leather boot completes the look and is much cleaner than running it without.
