You can buy the oem armrest but it's a little bit expensive. Carson carries an aftermarket one that fits nicely for the 01's. Just check with Steve for the price.

Yes, it can be done. I added the OEM armrest to my 01. It's gonna cost you arund $270 in parts, depending where you buy the parts from. Here's a thread on how to do the install and all the neccessary parts.

Good Luck
