    I can't find one anywhere?
    The stuff on eBay is for a grey color interior only.

    Any suggestions?

    Holy mother of thread revival lol . . . well it is Halloween, time to raise the zombies.

    Keep looking, the fuse cover on my '03 drove me nutz. I wound up buying a couple because the color in the ebay pics were off LOL.

    Looks like the PN is 58802-35090, the official part name is front console. I think the "BO" on this OEM one represents oak - shoot them an email to confirm, ourisman/McGeorge is pretty responsive.

    Thanks for your efforts. From what I have researched -B0 is Grey Which supersedes the "out of stock" -EO (Oak) as mentioned at the bottom of your link. I found this place in Canada just now, perhaps I'll give them a shot

    I feel your pain for anybody with a brown Toyota interior.

    At some point if Toyota even bothers to still make parts, they usually pick one color… And it’s not brown.

    Shift boots are small enough that it would not be a huge cost to get one custom made. Pick out the closest match at Tandy Leather or Michaels, find an eager crafter looking for beer money, hand them your old boot and say "cover this."

    You could have a tartan plaid boot if you so desired.

    My 03 Tacoma 4x4 boot has a plastic ring inserted at the top of the 4WD knob (stops the boot from sliding down). Wonder if they can transfer that over to a new shop-made boot?

    On most shift boots, the top ring is glued on, the bottom ring is either glued or stitched. Most boots use glue. (I recently bought an aftermarket knob that required replacing the top boot ring.)

    Its very easy to unfasten the old rings, use the old boot as a pattern to cut the new, then re-use the rings on the new boot. And, if you are any good at stitching a single 9 inch straight line, you can make a boot yourself.

    Yay the EO are kicking directly over to BO. I took my chances on the visor from Toyota Parts Direct, ended up with a gray visor.
    I thought maybe going without the boot cover and painting the metal plate to match the truck color.

    edit I used Toyota Parts Deal when I took my chances.

    +1 on just buying a aftermarket one to your taste or having one made. Alot of stuff like visor you can buy the wrong color and buy fabric/ plastic dye to change the color.
