WHY????? The boot joint cost a few bucks and are realy easy to replace. If this is his DD and he replace the boot joint and inspects its and its fine it will last as long as he got the car.

If thats complicated, maybe you should get another car than a jeep ;-) Its easy, the hardest part for me was to remove the hub bolts. I had never done anything like that before i did it on my GC and it is easy. BUT, you could get some repair boot that you strap around without removing anything, i dont know how god they are.
