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.

Re: WTB shifter boots
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.

Re: WTB shifter boots
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?
