Oh I would and probably could if I didn't have to worry about people coming the other way lol

 

That seems about right, they shop would have to pull both axles (1 hour each side), then probably 20 mins to fix boot each side, then put axles back, 30-45 mins, and maybe even align.

The painful part is that the new boot with grease is about $25 for each side. Or http://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/...429084,drivetrain,cv+half+shaft+assembly,2288 about $59 for each new axle (non-oem).

I just did this job on my Montero, only drivers side. It took probably 4 hours for me to do it myself, minimal frustrations, but I've pulled the axles before to install my front locker, and I have all the tools needed to do so (tie rod separator, garage to work in).

If you have only a hole in one boot I would only do 1 side, no reason to do the other unless they both are bad. It would be half the cost.

I wheeled at least once with a torn boot, never heard any squeaking or rubbing, I would have driven it for longer if I had to pay someone else to replace boot/axle.

Just my 2 cents.

 

It will take 2 hours max to do it yourself.

It's really really easy

 

Most likely I'll be out there friday night and possibly camping Saturday night

 

Im working those days.

 

Speaking of cv boots...like a moron I pulled the stock clamp off the outer boot and realized my hose clamp was a bad idea because it was contacting the shock. $10 and a trip to Toyota and I got 2 new cv boot clamps. I had previously pulled the inner boots and stretched out so they don't rub and it worked with a hose clamp...long story short get cv boot clamps and don't use hose clamps. Don't go to auto parts store either as they are super cheap metal...ask me how I know

 

Woooooo Juan!!!!!!

 

I voted..."hell no I'm not getting my truck dirty"

 

Yeah my hose clamp ripped my new boots /: I use a zip tie now and it's great

 

Ok I was gonna try that...I actually had a zip tie on but the boot could still slide. Did you use a big ass heavy duty one? The one I had was a standard small one and I cranked that thing down as tight as I could.

 

Of course you did. I'd expect nothing less.

 

Hey let's get some more pinstripes this go around...maybe you can lose both your rear fenders this time in the bush

 

Lead on my friend.

 

Doesn't buff out...at all

 

I used a heavy duty one. I have porche cv boots so it's already a tight fit

 

What trails are we gonna run?

 

Just don't find yourself stuck in an ATV trail like I was last time!

 

someone doesn't read the signs hahaha

 

Signs? Read?

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

 

For the record there was no signs lol
Uou coming I still have your chair from last time lol
