Rubber Intake Boot
I'm looking to replace the rubber intake boot on my '89 XJ 4.0 because it's fairly weathered and I suspect it may be leaking in places. Problem is, I can't seem to find it at any of the major internet outlets. I checked Rockauto and a couple other big internet retailers but no luck. Any suggestions?

I'd prefer new-ish, at least. Otherwise, I'll probably just be re-buying the same problem. I'm kind of surprised it's been so difficult to find in the aftermarket. So far I've had no problem finding everything else.

So maybe mine just looks ugly and I shouldn't worry about it. When I removed it to clean out my throttle body I noticed that when the rubber is flexed there are cracks all over in it, probably just surface weathering and nothing to be concerned about. Thanks for the advice, everybody!
...can you tell that things aren't breaking fast enough to suit my appetite for fixing them? Now I'm looking for things to fix rather than doing it out of necessity. I guess I'll go wash my windows or something :/

Just wait. It starts like this, then one day everything that can fail will, and you'll be wishing you never said that. haha
