WTB shifter boots

Post by TominMO »

Hi, looking for shifter boots for my '86 SR5. Both the main 6-speed shifter and the FWD/4WD selector, if there was a boot for that. My 6-speed shifter boot is really in bad shape and the FWD/4WD selector one is not there, if there ever was one.

EDIT: I have the brown/tan interior.

Not likely there will be any in decent shape on a car this old. You will have to make your own replacements from upolstry fabric you get at a fabric store. with the tan/brown interior you can consider doing it in leather, that is what my long term plan is. Mine look like crap as well.

Other Tom M. -
See the seminal thread on replacing shifter boots: https://tercel4wd.com/forums/viewtopic.php? ... ilit=boots
I did this in 2009 and they still look great!

Thanx for the replies guys. Now I'm thinking of making some in camo, to match the outside of the car. Or maybe even find some small outdoors/military accessory already in camo, that I can adapt to the main shifter. Probbly won't find anything small enough for the 4WD selector, but who knows?
