    Hey folks, I am 5'2" and with the new custom roll cage in my 2006 LJ, I could not see over the new bar that is above the dash. So I raised the seats and now it is a tough stretch to reach the automatic tranmission shifter. Anyone have a legitimate way of extending the shifter knob a couple inches? I know a manual tranny would have been an easy fix, but that is not an option.

      Not sure if it's a cable linkage, but you could shim the shifter up off the floor pan with some aluminum blocks or fender washers. Depends on how much room you have between the top of the shifter and the console.

        Is your cage a welded together custom job? Reason I ask is I've seen a few rock hard front cages with the dash bar bolted in upside down.

          Do you weld? If not, you can come by my place and I'll fix that for you. just did it for my girl friends manual shift.

                It is a custom welded cage, though the bar across the bottom of the windshield is about 1.5" above the top of the dash.

                  I didn't even consider welding something like the custom cage I had installed, but I handle minor weld jobs myself. What did you have in mind?

                    Actually you my not have to weld anything. I made an extension to the shifter using a piece of round stock and some studs. I have a picture somewhere, if I can find it I'll post it.
