    Low cost 2005-2006 inner shift boot replacement!

    I figure it will last long enough for the $16 I spent. If it doesn’t last long I’ll definitely try to bond it next time. I was impatient!

    Low cost 2005-2006 inner shift boot replacement!

    It works perfect! No more furnace and I spent less than $20! The rubber is very soft and supple and I can’t tell the difference between having it on now and when there was nothing at all. No binding and no hard shifting. My foot A/C can actually be felt even with the doors off! Sorry for the...

    Low cost 2005-2006 inner shift boot replacement!

    I was supposed to wait an hour so the silicone could dry but I was impatient and wanted to test out my genius! I reinstalled it on the trans tunnel and carefully put everything back together.

    Low cost 2005-2006 inner shift boot replacement!

    After fully stapling all the way around, (I had to remove a few that didn’t go in all the way) I trimmed the edges to fit. I then used some high temp RTV silicone around the edges and over the staples.

    Low cost 2005-2006 inner shift boot replacement!

    The next step was to fit it to the plastic piece. I removed the plastic piece after making sure I noted exactly where I wanted to place it. Then I started stapling. (I had seen this technique somewhere on this forum)

    Low cost 2005-2006 inner shift boot replacement!

    While looking at pictures I saw an inner shift boot that was designed for 79-93 Ford Mustangs and I’ll damned if it didn’t look like it would work perfect. I couldn’t find a measurement anywhere online and no one at the store knew for sure but I had bought one and had em pull it from the...

    Low cost 2005-2006 inner shift boot replacement!

    I finally narrowed my choices down to this one from TransDapt. Which will just cover the edges. It comes with a nice plate to attach it but I was worried about the accordion style preventing easy movement.

    Low cost 2005-2006 inner shift boot replacement!

    Like most people I hate the cost of TJ parts lately. My inner shift boot on my 2006 Rubicon has been mostly missing since I purchased the Jeep last year and the blast furnace didn’t bother me this winter but it’s getting warm in north Texas and as soon as a window gets opened or the sunrider is...

    4.0 rebuild

    My 06 Rubicon runs great but will someday need a rebuild. I’d like to buy an engine and do a rebuild in my free time and will eventually swap in when needed. My question is about interchange between years. Can I buy any Jeep 4.0 and rebuild the short block and just swap my accessories, head...

    WTB: 06 Rubicon adjustable control arms

    Man I haven’t been on here in a week or so but I got lucky and scored a set of used Currie control arms for a great price. I’ll have to rebuild some of the Johnny Joints and replace one arm but it was still a heck of a deal. Even get double adjustable uppers! Thanks for the response though!

    Seatbelt digging in to me!

    My driver side seatbelt lower portion is curved in and digs into my side. It’s especially sucky on long trips but drives me crazy. I’m not a huge guy so I’m not sure if it’s normal but damn I’m sick of it. Anybody else have this issue? Any ideas how to fix?
