So I swapped out my shifter boot for a leather one as the title states! I took pics and figured id do a write up incase anyone else wanted to get one.
First I popped off my shifter knob, I took a wrench wrapped in a cloth and a metal bar... (Could not find my hammer) and I tapped it till it popped off, (5 good taps) |

Then bring it in to your work area.
Pry apart the boot from the plastic. Get a cold drink... Mine was Ginger ale! |

You have to drill (5/32) the fake screws out to make room for your real hardware. I chose black Allen head screws to make it look factory. Don't forget to drill the second piece ( the bottom half)

Put your new screws in, then put your leather boot on, slide the bottom piece on and add your nut and tighten them up... Not too tight! I used blue lock tight so they don't come loose and get sloppy.
I took my sweet time, my helper got bored and took a nap. |

Your pretty much done, now bring it to your jeep! Pop the front ( closest to the radio) in first, then tap the rear in.
Now wrap the shifter know in your towel, wrap it good and thick ( I did not wrap it well) Now I'm in need of a stock shifter knob.... Does anyone have one? Cheap? Tap it on, bam your done. Enjoy |

I SOLD THE JKU, I'M OUT OF THE JEEP GAME FOR A BIT. I Got the leather boot at redlinegoods.com it's about $40.00 I think. Good luck, hope to be back someday soon. - NH-JK |
Very nice! :thumbsup: I may do this to both my JK and XJ!
Where did you get the new boot from? |
Nice write-up. Wish I had a manual transmission so I could do this!!:beer:
