    Yeah their budget axles don't have good reviews. I opted for their "best" axles with silicone boots and they have held up perfectly since 2020.

    Just about always always always go with OEM my dude. Just had my driver-side CV axle replaced a couple of days back and opted for OEM over a $120 less alternative. It hurts the pocket but better than having to do it twice :D

    I believe the Silicone boots are only on the inner portion of the axel. The guy at CVJ said they do not install them on the outers because they have a greater risk of tearing due to road debris/branches ect. Glad to hear your outers are holding up tough. Maybe they changed the material used at some point.

    I think the OEM boots are plastic and that's what CVJ uses on the "best" option.

    I have an '05 with a 3" lift on 34's. Just replaced a boot while installing the lift. After a couple months and 2 off-road trips, OEM boots tore on both sides. Just upgraded. My mechanic has used these on several 1st Gen Tundras with good feedback.

    We couldn't get mine to seat right so they're leaking. I believe @NickB_01TRD has the same ones as well.

    My son has been running the Tracmotive on his 200 AC 4x4 for a little over a year. He will Ben hone in a few weeks to do the front brakes. I will post up pics on how they are holding up. I saved to stock ones to potential rebuild in the future.

    Those may need to be my next set in a few years when these boots split yet again on these Advanced Auto axles
