Collection: 79 Series Land Cruiser Gear Knobs

UPGRADE THE PART OF THE 79 YOU TOUCH CONSTANTLY

YOU TOUCH IT MORE THAN ANY OTHER PART OF THE INTERIOR

Most owners do not think about the gear knob until they sell the ute and notice how cheap the worn one feels in someone else's hand. The factory plastic knob on a 79 fades, cracks, and goes shiny from years of palm contact and UV exposure. By the 200,000km mark it is one of the tell-tale signs of an aged 79 cabin. A leather-wrapped gear knob fixes that and transforms the feel of every shift. The grip is better, the look is sharper, and the cabin instantly feels less work-spec and more considered.

LEATHER WRAPPED OVER A SOLID CORE

The leather gear knobs in this range are wrapped over a substantial weighted core, so they have heft in the hand rather than feeling like hollow plastic. The leather is stitched along the seam in a finish that matches the rest of a properly trimmed 70 Series cabin. Both the main gearbox shifter and the transfer case lever are covered in matching pairs, so you can sort both for a consistent look. Each knob threads directly onto the factory shaft using the standard M12x1.25 thread pattern. Install takes under sixty seconds with no tools and no modifications.

SUITS VDJ V8 MANUAL AND GDJ MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS

This collection covers gear knobs for the VDJ79 V8 (2007 to 2023) and GDJ79 2.8L facelift (2024 onward) manual transmissions, plus the transfer case levers on both. The auto-transmission GDJ uses a different shifter and is covered separately. The same thread pattern means these knobs also fit the 76 Wagon, 78 Troopy, and 60/80/100 Series manuals, so swapping between vehicles is straightforward. Each listing confirms compatibility before you order.
