Default Finger control for the throttle?

Another post got me thinking....

We used to have a 95 YJ and installed a TF finger control for the throttle. It went from the throttle body through the firewall to the stick. Made for slow crawling without having to the use gas or clutch.
I was wondering if anyone has modified this for the JK TB? It would be great to use for idle winching or OBA's or crawling.

Hope I'm not being stupid here... yes/no?

I already have a flashpaq, maybe I should just get used to carrying it with me and doing the idle up procedure then.

The Flashpaq doesn't idle in real time. You change the idle rpm's then hit enter and then it changes. I don't thing it will serve your purpose as a hand held throttle. However its a great feature if you need to idle up for winch use.

Good find!!!! I am looking for the exact same thing. Im finishing an install of a YORK OBA system and have been looking at ideas for idle control since the JK is fly-by-wire.
