[QUOTE="GSI, post: 663370, member: 12930"] I have an 85 4runner with a body lift that the previous owner put on. Due to the body lift, I was having trouble with the t case staying in 4 lows as the shifter would hit the opening in the body. I also wanted to be able to use the shifter boot. Our solution was to make a short shifter. We started out by creating a CAD drawing of the shifter base profile. We decided to make it 1" tall to start with. [URL=http://s197.photobucket.com/user/Griffs_photos/media/shifter%20extension%20v4_zpsji5a3plv.jpg.html][IMG]http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa63/Griffs_photos/shifter%20extension%20v4_zpsji5a3plv.jpg[/IMG][/URL] After we had the cad model, we brought it into CAM to choose all the tool paths required to make the part. Then we put a piece of aluminum in our CNC mill and proceeded to machine the part.

We machined the outside profile with a bit of material hanging off the bottom, clamped in the vise. We had to do a second operation to remove that left over material.
