Bill, that news makes me feel better since we bought from the same source. Thanks for sharing.
One thing I didn't do with that CJ5 boot is apply any protectant up front. It never crossed my mind that I would need to.
I'll certainly do that to my new parts if you think it'll help make them last longer.
I even wonder about spray painting the under side of the boots to seal them from air since I couldn't easily reapply a protectant.
Maybe I'm making too big a deal of this... ?
