New Shifter Knob

I haven't done a lot with the Jeep this winter.  Just the occasional drive to keep the fluids circulating.  But, for my birthday my wife got me the coolest new shifter knob from Rocknob.com  They call it the "Bombknob"  It's an authentic pineapple grenade from WW II that has been deactivated or made inert.  Because of my profession this is a perfect accent for the interior of my CJ.  It's unique and adds a touch of my own personality to the Jeep.  Gotta love this one line from the installation instructions: "Currently, we ship BomNobs fully assembled; however, if you prefer the spoon (handle) to be removed, pull the pin and run like hell - Just kidding!"  No kidding!

It was pretty easy to install.  Here's some pics of the process.

 Just loosen the nut towards the floor and unscrew the old shifter knob
 BombNob installed!  Still have to take it for a test drive, but feels alright so far.
