different shift boot
« on: January 27, 2005, 07:28:18 AM »
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 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

Just put your stock boot back in upside down.  Works great.

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!...

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

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!
