You just cut the factory carpet out so you have a flat surface to mount the shifter base to and drill three holes. Be careful not to drill the rear two holes too far back or you will hit the rear carrier support that can be seen in post #1 / pic 4.

Also, you will have to cut the front bolt down to make it shorter or it will hit the selector rod as it is now directly on top of it instead of behind it.
Thanks! Would you say it's possible to install without dropping the driveshaft?

Regarding the bolt interfering with the selector rod, I read that installing it from the underside (bolt on the bottom, nut from inside the cabin) you'll avoid this. But you'd need a second pair of hands for this.
