Did some more wheeling this weekend to find I lost about an inch of lift on the front passenger coil. Inspected and found my lower shock bushing is completely gone. Guessing that would cause an issue. Ordering up an oem bushing.
 
Really?? I could just seal it up and it would be ok for a while??

Yup, works pretty darn good. Especially since you don't have a huge tear. check out my link on Torn Boot Repair here.

Mine have been like that since December and still in tact. I'm actually rebuilding my axles this week. Going 100% OEM despite purchasing after market boots.
 
Herculiner...who needs carpet anyway. That stuff just holds water.

Are you planning on putting all your interior panels back? How many clips got broken?

Interior panels, yes. Just no carpet. The side panels came off pretty well but I bought a few boxes of spare clips. My door panels are falling off anyway so they need some TLC too. Right now several are held on with self tappers.

Thanks for the heads up, I'm gonna give this a try this weekend... Do you recommend any specific grease to fill the boot back up or should I just leave it how it is and seal it

No need really as it's just a temp fix. I forced some Mystic High Temp grease in there I picked up from O'Reillys but I doubt if it did any good. Unfortunately, Toyota doesn't sell the CV grease by itself. It comes with the boot kit. The main thing is to just close it up to prevent crud from getting in there and messing up the CV joints.

Got my bumper painted finally. Grabbed stuff to start painting wheels today. My fronts and spare are getting done tomorrow and the rears Wednesday unless I have time to grab them tomorrow.
