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)

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

Finished product, thank your helper! (Harvey)
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.
