Front driveshaft boot ripped
Today my dad and I were going through the truck and doing some maintenance and whatnot. We noticed that the front driveshaft boot has a rip in it. Is that boot purchasable or do I need a whole new driveshaft?
The grease inside looked pretty good, not a whole lot of dirt. For the time being, we removed the metal clasp and installed three wide zip ties in combination with some silicone to try to mend the rip for the time being. Since I'm not live axle, I think it'll work for a while, but I definitely want to get it replaced.
I don't have a way to get pics up...

You can't really tell there is a boot in there from the dirt in that picture...but that's what ripped, the boot inside that cup area.
