thanks for the help, N E ways

http://www.offroadsolutions.com/955-...tml#components

they come in orange High Angle Inner CV Boot - ORS-HB201 $49.95/side
1995-04 Tacoma & 1996-02 4Runner & 1999-05 Tundra
These CV boots have been completely re-designed to work with high angle applications, such as lifted vehicles. The boot stretches further over the joint and the bellows are placed further apart to keep them from contacting, extending the life of the boot. Kit includes 1 boot, 2 clamps, and CV joint grease, 2 kits needed per vehicle.


These boots will work with the original axles or the ORS Manual Hub Conversion. With tulip shaped CV joints the use of the original boot sealing flange is required.

I'm not sure whether you have found a solution to your boot tearing problem (I know it was posted 3yrs ago). I have been having the same issues, and I found the porche boot at offroad-engineering.com. I believe they recommend it for your 3rd gen. I have a 2nd gen and I have been having difficulty finding better boots for my application.

Thanks for the correction. I did of course acknowledge that I was posting to a 3yr old thread. Do you have any suggestions for me that would be useful?

More info when trying to find information is always helpful, like exactly what kind of truck? Lifted or not? Inner or outer? What's happening to the boot?
Guessing you tried the search button and that got you here?

Welcome to yotatech. and I'm apparently in a very talkative mood today. (shut up, guys)

And I've got a 3rd gen 4Runner that loves the taste of its own boots. Keep at that search button, some info's out there. Who knows, maybe you'll find the solution and share your experience with us.

I have a 94 sr5 runner with a 2" suspension lift using ball joint spacers in the front. The problem I have been having is that my inner cv boot on both sides keeps tearing (I've replaced it 3x at least.)

Any boots that are supposed to be better handling the increased angle that I've found are all for 3rd gen

Do you have manual hubs? If not look to buy a set of those.

Tearing by??? Are the lobes rubbing themselves to death from the angle or are they actually tearing because of too much flex or???
If it's lobe eating also search 'stretched boot'....maybe ttora or t4r if you can't find it here.
I've done a hoopty version of it on my 3rd gen but I want to put more miles on it before I say yeah or nay. Ok, it's actually too hoopty to ever say yeah.

I'm thinking manual hubs too, but can't afford anything like that for now. I've done some chatting on my build thread about this problem on my 3rd gen (starting post 375) and there's some links rworegon put up I found interesting. I am not all that wowed by the 930 boot deal. For some reason I was thinking it was for outers only, but I could be wrong. Not that it matters all that much to you with a different gen. I'm also looking for more people to report their experience with Dorman silicone Help boots. All I know for sure is they feel very flimsy and bizarre.

I am completely ignorant when it comes to spacer lifts...and 2nd gen 4runners- would a dif drop help at all here, or (if it does) do you already have one?

Whatever you find, if it works or doesn't post it up at some point.

ok let me help out in this porch, porche and Porsche discussion. yes there is a Porsche boot that will work and works good. its from a Porsche 911, more specifically a 930. now that car was mad from 1975-1989, but was not available in the US until 1976, and between the years of 1980 and 1985 it was not sold in the US due to restricted emissions. anyhow you will want to get boots for a later model 930. hope this helps

If anyone is still interested in this thread..

I did look more into the use of a more durable porsche boot but I wasn't able to find any that were the correct size ie. length and inner/outer diameters.
I do have the differential and sway bar drop kits and the inner boots were tearing anyways.

As of a couple days ago I installed warn manual hubs and finally replaced my torn boots, so hopefully the beast wont be munching on my boots anymore. We will see
