Diesel RVs: [diesel_mercedes] CV Joint Boots

I dunno ;

I see them on almost everything in the junkyard , they're super cheap to manufacture so I imagine they're available .

Thing is : I don't want anything that looks like a French Letter on _my_ vehicle , period .

The weekend was nice and cool as Tom and I went swimming around the unpaved Junkyard scavenging parts (core support $36 ~ !SWEET!) for my old Shop Truck but to - day's warmer so the Diesel Sports Coupe gets the nod , the AC @ lunchtime was nice and restful .

Given that we do fair amount of driving on not so good roads, am not going to go for the "you can corner at a he!! of a clip" high end ones. Hey in the spring we will likely visit our brat in Prescott for a week, fab windey roads in and out, any chance of getting together?
