Shifter boot mod

I agree
Shit goes down there, seems to be a blackhole for debris.

Thanks for making this thread and pointing that out.


I'm gonna make one for my 21 out of some black leather looking material

 

haha
that shit is funny

I'm jealous

 

you guys are killing me

that is awesome

pimp my tundra

 

not trying to sound sarcastic... just really explaining it. it was really easy ... i think

bought faux alligator leather, made a template on scrap fabric from old t-shirts and tested out till satisfied, then cut and sew it together. for the shifter, found one i liked, looked old school. none of the included adapters fitted the tundra shifter post so i went to the hardware store, found a bold that screwed onto the trd shifter then i found a nut (two actually) that matched the bolt.

screwed the two nuts onto the bolt very tightly then grind them round and smooth till they fitted into the shifter where the adapters would have gone. filled the hole with two part epoxy and put the bolt with the two nuts still on it into the shifter. let it dry, removed the bolt and installed in truck.

these are the only additional pictures i have of when i made it.

if u have any more questions, i will be happy to answer.

 

Hey man, did you order a Tacoma boot from Redline and add the extra length, or a Tundra boot?

Would you order it the same way again? Or was the extra a perfect fit?

About to order a nappa leather boot from them and don't want to have to redo it if it doesn't fit right. Thanks!

 

Anyone try a Teton knob for a Tacoma yet? Saw this on social media today and thought it would be great for this mod.

 

What is that screen?!

 

It's the "Tesla style" Android head unit. There are several iterations of it. The place I purchased from was Phoenix Automotive. If you do buy one, keep in mind there are different Android versions available.

Did anyone who made this mod switch to the tacoma shifter gates? I find the shift into drive pretty annoying needing to move it right and left so much, the tacoma looks like it's almost straight up and down from R to D?
