Maddog FTW once again! Gripper knob is baller! - SRT Forums

BigBird03 · 06-02-2009, 11:10 AM

Just wanted to let everyone know about Maddog's "Gripper knob".
I ordered one of the first few made, And its def a awsome shift knob.
First of all, Its only 20 bucks SHIPPED for the thing, And its a stock knob coated in Line-X. Cool shit, Very unique too. Comes in black and possible colors in the future.
So much better then the stock knob, Yet still the stock knob. U cant beat it for the price. There's also weighted knobs coated available which im more then likely going to buy also after loving the stock one so much.
Just wanted to let everyone know about it, Since mine is the first I have seen.
Im sure Chuck himself will chime in here and drop a pic for you guys

Thanks for the kind words, Ian. I have 2 of the Gripper knobs in my cars - a stock coated one in my DD '97 ACR, and a weighted steel one in the SRT4. Love'em both! Son's '03 R/T will get one soon, and so will the wife's '01 ACR.

Here's pics in this link: Maddog short shifter?

I hate to bug you for it again, but I keep losing your address. I need to return the shift knobs we had talked about.

Edit:

I purchased a Maddogg deer skin wrapped leather weighted shift knob, and after a month of use it started to peel apart. I PMed him about it, and told him that it was probably from me using it as a daily driver, and I'd like to purchase another. Without hesitation or objection, Maddogg informed me that it was not supposed to happen, and offered to replace the weighted shift knob with one of his 2 remaining ones, and also sent me a gripper knob for daily driving.

Excellent customer service, definitely a business model, attitude, mindset, and personality every vendor should mirror themselves after.

I didn't even think about that, Pete

You'll be taken care of

Mac,
No big deal - we're all busy trying to scratch a buck these days, so I figured you were frying more important fish.

You can send them via USPS Parcel Post - it's probably the cheapest - to:

Maddog STS
PO Box 555
Twin Lakes, WI 53181

Thanks,
Chuck
