Default Rear drive shaft boot is GONE!

I took my '11 Rubi scouting some hunting property. I was crossing a cut down and walla I ripped my drive shaft boot off. With less than 1,000 miles on it no less. Any advice?

Go to your dealership and have them replace the entire driveshaft under warranty?

The big boot covering the slip joint isn't really a big deal. Keep the joint/splines clean and greased and you can continue driving on it. Some have posted that they have been bootless for over a year with no issues.
