Thought I'd start a new thread since this has gotten more complicated....

Mechanic discovered a torn passenger side CV boot yesterday while installing the Rocky Road SuperSliders. Didn't have any odd noises or anything.
Check out that large lump of grease below it.
Left it there for him to fix, didn't want to drive with the torn boot.

Any estimate how long it's been this way?
Maybe I tore it in Moab? If so, I've driven it for about 550 miles since.


~Now, mech guy says I need a new front pass ABS sensor cuz I think he meant it was trashed getting the CV boot repaired. (?? is that reasonable?)

~I call junkyards (from my handy dandy spreadsheet list), on FIRST call to the closest yard just 75 miles away, find one off a '98 Trooper, Have mech speak to yard to make sure it's right part--> yes, $65 shipped. (ebay shows some new non-OEM for over $400 ) Hope to gawd this is the right part....and it fits.....and in good condition.....

~Well, he!!, let's just get those S/S braided brake lines I've been wanting while they're in there.......talked to Matt, got a set 2 day shipped to shop, arrive Friday. Matt said these lines are above the axle and he can't see them being affected by the Kilby skids at all.....good!

Let's hope this all goes smoothly....
Any input or warnings/info is most welcomed!









Driver's side- looks OK.
