Never really liked the T handles even tho they worked fairly well.. What I liked was the MOPAR pistol grip... they are reproducing them now but they are couple hundred bucks and don't really fit my Long linkage.  

I got a lot of old pistol grips laying around...  bet I could make somethin...

I like the pistol grip, but no one makes one that will fit the jeep.


Did any factory car come with the Thandle? I though one of the GTO judges did.

No one makes a pistol grip except some outfit that make one that is a 1911 grip... can even use the panels... I don't like it... want a revolver grip..

gonna have to get out the welder and torch and some old Ruger Redhawk grip..

That would be sweat.


I always thought it was funny that you could get a 1911 type grip for a Ar-15 and all the paint ball guns.


No that the grip on a 1911 is bad, but it is not perfect either.


That will be an interesting coversation starter lol.

You going to cut the frame up on an old Redhawk?

 :lol at that shifter...A handle is by far the worst thing on a 4x4...The ball is designed for shifting accurately, double clutching and rocking a rig...a handle is for Holding on...a handle thats the last thing id want when it comes time to act fast in steep terrain...etc...

But...to each his own...I hope it works well for you...

LOL whatever, it's worked fine for the past 5 years, you know since I posted this thread.

You sound like a real pro though... :rofl

LOl... sarcasm too funny "working Fine" theres a general term. Been doing it for 32 years and a handle is a poor choice from my experience and the type of off roading I do. Like I said Good luck w/ that, it will get you in trouble sooner or later if it already has not. I'm sure well never know the truth.

The Ball is not meant to be held on too like that after market dressy handle. A ball is designed to be guided with the underside of your hand. Like the ball of your hand or the underside of your fingers.

BTW what part of the country are you in? Our experience of 4x4 running could be very different.
