my 4runner was born in Area 51
it's been awhile since I posted but no work as been done on the runner for months...we bought 3 bikes this summer and we have been working on these...LOL
now, after FINALLY getting the hubby to replace the shifter bezel, which I had for months, look what we found when removing the old cracked one...
was my 4runner born in area 51 or WHAT??LOL
intro thread to my runner is here, maybe there is an explanation?

hummm...that is a good question, I will ask the better half but I know if I look into the 3rd boot, I can can see the ground, there is nothing there.
does that make sense ?

The "3rd" boot isn't an extra(spare possibly?). It's either for a transmission shifter or a transfer case shifter(hard to tell from the pic...looks like the transmission shifter is missing the "upper" boot, which is what that one would be). Why it's been pulled off and stuck back under there is anybody's guess. Same goes for why there's a hole underneath it. Rusted out floorboard?
EDIT: Happened to be listening to Megadeth's Hanger 18() while I was reading/replying to this thread. Strange coincidence?

I think the 2 boots (away from the front) were the original ones, and the front one was the add on?
I know this truck has been modded right after purchase, look at the pics on the original thread:

at first I was thiking it needed to come off ASAP, but now that it's gone, until we figure out what to do with the 3 boots, it's off and I miss it
I think it is the BEST location for the horn, honestly!
and I just went outside, and no, I can't see the earth under it...my bad, seems like a metal "plate" and it's dirty so I thought I was seeing the dirt in our gravel parking...my bad

Right. Now that it's been mention, that doesn't really look like the factory placement for the shifters. That tranny shifter certainly isn't factory, either.

It's almost 1 am now but I will check it out more closely tomorrow and take a better pic of the alteration sticker.
When I 1st got the truck, I did try to find that company online with no luck

well...here's the pic of the sticker...and I said I was able to see the ground/earth and then I said I couldn't...well, It's kinda both...lol
if we don't move the boot, we can only see a metal plate but if we move it slightly, we can def. see the ground...so I had the hubby holding it while taking a pic:
