putting a 3" lift on has caused some changes in my gear shift and the factory boot is in a slight bind. where can i find a leather boot, or some other softer pliable material.
i would like somthing that will cover up the hole to keep the noise, dust, and cold air down a little.

i used my factory shift boot. i cut it down bolted it to the floor plate, and bolted the floor plate to the floor. and i removed the center console.

I have a 4 inch body lift, I used the shifter boot out of a mid 80s s-10 pickup, and the tcase boot from a 98+tracker. works and looks great
-
i've seen soem that were made out of leather, i think they woudl work good i may get one cuz i got the same problem,
oh ya there at walmart
-
Just put your stock boot back in upside down. Works great.
-
upsidedown?
-
upsidedown?
Yup.. The inner (lower) boot. You put it in upside down, and it telescopes right down to the transfer case. Seals it up good, works great.

Hey Bob, got a pic of your boots? I also remember you had a cool manual shifter setup with a cool knob. Wasn't it a skull or something?

It's a Spidertrax Spider.
I'll see if I can hobble out to the rig, and snap a pic. There are advantages to being home, sick!...

That's right, a spider. It was neat. Beats my RockNob.
-
Here you go!
You want my spider Heather?
'Cause I think I'm moving to a Hawk Green Shifter.

I wonder if it will fit on one of my tcase shifters.. but I think I should probably actually "buy" something from spidertrax to make it "legal".
hmmm
-
That looks like the way to go Bob,
I think I'll change mine around like that too now that I've seen how simply putting it in upside down would have been so much easier than the shagging around way I done it :-[
Funny how one never sees the easy logical solution while actually doing the job :P
-
Since we're on the topic of shifters,
Here's mine ;D

BTW all,
That's how a Kicker 3 looks installed with a sammy case.

Hey, I bought it from Spidertrax. You can HAVE it if you want it. Special offer, available only to YOU. 'Cause you're "special", don't you know!
;)

I'll take it!

Yeah, I wish I had figured it out before I cut my first one up - had to get a replacement from Hawk Strictly Suzuki - and a replacement shifter, because I bent the hell out of my original, before I got the replacement, cut it and welded in the 3" extension.
-
I'll take it!
Sounds fair - I'll have your bikini, but you'll have my knob.
I'll bring it to Moab!

Also, here's all I did to the console to make my shifter work with my 3" body lift.. I think my tcase shifter boot is backwards.. But I did also cut and weld a 3" extension.
