that looks sweet

Looks good, I was thinking of doing something similiar for my truck with some diamond plate.

Why didn`t I think of that?

Cool, my boots are all finangled and keep coming apart and stuff, and the plastic is cracked. That`s a good idea, instead of buying new.

 

[Premier]

Nice. Send me one, I need the boots too

 

[Kris Guilbeaux]

Well if I find a place I can get the T-case boot from I will make another. But it would cost about $175 for me to make another.

 

[Premier]

Why so much?

 

[Kris Guilbeaux]

The material is Aluminum, cutting it out. Polishing it. Mounting boots and buying boots. Took me at least 4 hours to make it.

 

[Premier]

If this includes the boots, IM IN! Otherwise its a bit too much for me

Where did you get your boots? Any suggestions for me?

 

[Kris Guilbeaux]

the t-case boot came from an auto Tranny Truck. If your for sure interested, Let me know and I will try to locate a few more boots.

 

[Premier]

Ugh.. Damnit... Yea, im interested. I would be able to send you the boot off of my tranny to replace one that you would attach to the aluminum. So all you would be out is a t-case boot, and the aluminum/time. Let me know how much that would be shipped.

 

[Premier]

Installing t-case tomorrow. Let me know Kris. I need something asap. Also I cant seem to get the damn ball off the end of the manual shifter!?

 

[briwayjones]

Looks good. I've never seen an X with a manual shift 4wd. Is that a mod or did some actually come with a manual shift? We've had Xs '91 - '03 and they were all automatic shift.

 

[Kris Guilbeaux]

Sorry Premier I didnt get a post that you replyed. I would not need your Factory boot for the transmission. I can get those free at the yard. It looks like I would have to buy an auto tranny boot from ford I will get a price on that part and get back with you. It takes me about four hours to make it. as I have to drill and polish the aluminum.

 

[Premier]

Ok, cool. Just let me know on a total price. I really dont want to spend more on it than what I would pay for a new set from Ford($230+).

 

[Kris Guilbeaux]

I doubt it would be more then $230.00 But once I get a set price I will PM I should have a tolal cost by Friday.
