If all the problem is a torn boot. Go buy your bike and drive the torn boot for another 5K miles. All the boot does is keep in grease and dirt out, if your aren't swamping you jeep in water and mud up to the DS you'll be fine for a while.

I've got a near perfect stock front drive shaft off a JKU 2012 Sahara... The shaft has only 8000 miles on it. No offroading was done on it while installed. I have a picture in my profile section, my pictures and then jeep parts for sale. I'm in Fontana but I'm in the OC all the time too.
Looking for only 100 bucks. Let me know if your interested..

I wanted to include the size and somewhat spec of the shaft
3ft and a 1/2", relaxed.. Flat mount area to the other flat mount area. There are 8 mounting screws on one end. The other end has 4 bolt holes, square pattern.

I went over 60k without a boot. I just replaced the DS with a stock one when the CV joint started to wear. (love my warranty!)
Just keep it lubed. I would spray white lithium grease in there every once in a while. And about once a year i dropped half the shaft and really cleaned and re-greased it with HD bearing grease made for CV joints. JUST DON'T FORGET TO MARK THE SHAFT BEFORE SPLITTING/SLIDING IT OFF so you put it back on in the same location - it's balanced as a unit.
