You can just take it off until you can find a replacement

There is a rebuild kit available, Dorman part number 932-306. Just saw it on ebay for $125. You might be able to find a brand new take off one for less though. Saw a set on CL a while ago for $200 for both shafts, almost brand new.

I've been driving my rig without that boot for over two years without issue (knock on wood). Replace it when it breaks.

I have one off of a 2013 JKUR with an auto. Only has 3200 miles on it. Would that work for you?

I don't know whats a stock driveshaft go for these days? $100 sound reasonable? I even have the rear if you want to pick up a spare one of those.

Just cut the boot off and run it til it breaks. I'm going on 2 years no boot. Lots of miles and wheeling.
