I just put in a new vinyl flooring in my 1989 4x4. I didnt want to have to cut big holes in the vinyl for the boot to go through so i am thinking about putting the boot and metal bracket on top of the vinyl so it hides the holes. Of coarse i will have to paint the metal to make it look good. Are their any aftermarket parts that would work to make it look better?

 

That will work just fine, paint the metal part black and it will look good.

 

i agree, just paint the ring and your good to go, maybe a set of black boots too? Where did you get the flooring from and how much?

 

Here is a picture of how i did my 4Runner.

I'll get some better pics and post them ASAP

I got the carpet for my 86 4Runner from them.

heck yeah, just sand that bad boy down, and hit it with some black paint

or even that chrome spray paint maybe

 

how i did mine i squeezed it in there trimming a little at a time the metal is under the vinyl

 

Winnar winnar chicken dinner! Cheers to you!

 

Not to hijack.......but what did you use for your extra tcase boot in the back?

 

Wow, that looks great. It's too late for me to try that now. I dont feel like taking the vinyl back up and I have already notched the vinyl where the screws go.

 

Where can I get replacement boots. I want to go with black instead of blue.

 

It's for the second transfer case

Probably at a junkyard, or you could post a request in the Items Wanted section. Got anymore pictures of the vinyl? I've been seriously considering buying the gray version

 

I will try to take some pics tomorrow. I was going to wait until I got the boots put on, but it looks like that will be a while now.

 

I know what the second shifter is for, I have one just like it. What I was wondering is what sort of boot he used for that shifter. Looks almost like another factory tcase boot...

 

Sorry, didn't read the question right!
