How to Fix your CV AXLE boots, Stop the tearing!!  

Over here in Australia, every man and his dog has a four x four RU-vid channel. Yet seven years on and I'm still watching RFB saying it like it is.

I think we can all agree and say…We love you! You have personally inspired me, I finally took the 4 runner to lazy springs off-road park and said whatever happens, happens. Bone stock 23’ runner and let it rip. Forget the pin stripes forget the bruises and just go. I do plan to go all out like you but have to make that payment first. Big fan brother, just making notes from your experience.

Uhh huh. "I don't care if it gets sctatched" Bigfoot comes forward with footage of Richie in the woods washing n waxing his truck. 😂

I'm glad you still fix stuff. I'm 56 heart issues.. I'm done turning wrenches..🤦

Prayers from the UK Richie!

Thanks for the sharing 😊 You stay well and be safe 🙏 Praying for your safety and protection every day Richie. 🙏 Texas Nana Psalm 91

Kind of burns your ass that they didn't fix this problem sooner because I'm sure the technology existed. Oh well the work keeps you in shape and helps one remember the curse words needed. Glad it is fixed, and you can spend more time doing what you do and making videos for the rest of us. A little better ride with the independent front suspension anyway. Thanks for the update.

Great info on the boots, good knowledge. The truck is rugged. 💪

I don't do anywhere near what you do, but after 13 years of Midwest service and another 3 years in SoCal. I've replaced my 2008 4Runner's stock original XREAS system with Dobinsons MMR's, rear springs, and SPC UCA's. I just got new CV axles from GSP (no core charge) and Wheel and Hub Assemblies from SKF! I'm in no rush, but I'm considering between getting the Total Chaos or Dirt Kings LCA's! Keep moving forward, and thanks for sharing your good, bad, and ugly experiences!

As always: Pure Awesomeness Richie !! 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

Look at your beautiful truck!💥 Great you found RCV boots that's finally worked without tearing. Thank you for sharing, Richie! 🤗

Thanks for sharing this Brother and I’m glad you found a lasting fix!

You should get a dog for company and protection like a belgian malinois or something. Help you when you have to stay or fix stuff in the wilderness. It would be cool to see you with a dog.

I’m running kdss and just put in total chaos lower control arms and as bad ass as they are, the kdss sway bar hides the lowers lol. Glad it’s fixed

Love love your truck amazing and I also admire you 💯

Trick to cv boots is getting all the air out of them. When air gets hot it expands. The more air you get out? The better.

Awesome Rig. Amazing capabilities

Glad you had good results! Yeah my RCVs have given me so much headache.They had black outer boots in the past but it seems like these are some new version black boots.

Hey Richie, I really miss your videos that you started with. Im a plumber too, and you got me looking up in 2014. Would love it if you balled out and came back kicking ass. But I know u have your reasons. I hope your good Brother and I understand and respect You

2017 Tacoma owner here but that is one badass mfing T4R!!

Well you struck a nerve Richie , I have Dodge ram 1500 daily driver , had it couple years and the axle boot busted outboard , replaced it and a couple months later the other side same thing , slung grease all over of course both times ! Replaced them and 2 years later replacing all the ball joints both sides ! Because the mechanic that changed my axles busted the boots on the top ball joint both sides ! Any way changing the upper and lower ball joints and look down at my practically new CV axle and to the inboard boot is ripped right at the clamp on small part on the shaft ! Did both sides and when I got to the other side , bam! The exact same thing on that side to ! So I tried the old bush fix , used a zip tie instead of the band and it broke two ribs on one side and pulled the other side where I zip tied it too ! So the one axles is shot so going to just replace both sides again ! It sucks ! Peace and Love !

Nice one mate glad you got it sorted 😊

Damn fine rig Sir.

Thank you Richie 👋

I ripped my boots like the first month after it was built. I pretty much all the same stuff you have on yours. Coastal off-road total chaos King . doing triple bypass in the front soon. I have bump stops to go in the rear. I'm going to French them into the frame.. I got the Sequoia that you were going to challenge .. honestly I think you would still beat me LOL.. check my picture out. Waiting on you to come back to AZ😎

Blessings Brother.

I had black boots and they ripped as well. Went back to orange and my shop used some kind of sealant to stop the tearing. 🤷‍♂️

Glad you finally got your CV boots straightened out!

Thank you for the information. I greatly appreciate it. Be safe out there.

Hey buddy it's me again. The name of the machine you forgot the name of is Lakhovsky's Multi-Wave Oscillator

Like always brotha good sh!t that four runner looks sick asf from soccer mom truck to chad monster truck 🫡🗣️💯

Recently ordered a set of the RCVs, will be checking out if they come with the orange boot or not - TY for the heads

Richie you are the real deal dude

I kinda also notice that the bellows rubbing on themselves causes the issue. It seems like even farther than 4in would be ideal.

good video

Good Evening Richie... Too Lekker and Too Correct of you to share that Intel... Much appreciated Bugger... Richie, what does intrigue me is.... You run your cab without Registration Plates... Or number plates as we call them here in Zimbabwe...? Is there something you know We don't about the Law, Personal Rights and Freedoms...? If so please kindly educate me accordingly...!!! 😊😊 Kind Regards A Rhodesian Boy... Cheers Bugger 🍻

@jailbreak thats what you need " ProSeries CV Savers (930). 4 Inch large end opening. CV Boot Saver. CV Boot Protection. i have for 60000 miles on my 4runner and no problam from my cv boots.

Awesome rig Richie, thanks for sharing YAH bless brother !

Love all your videos, the truck one's are ok too! Hahaha (joke).... You'd have loved hanging out with me and some guy's I used to run around with. I took a crap load of tests before and during my stint in the army and they kept telling me I was really smart 🤓😮. A long with that and an mos change I got some bonuses 😊. I promptly went out and traded my old man's new 83 dodge ram 8' bed truck which before he passed had had the suspension upgraded and bigger tires installed ( old dude would cut off a back road like we take right hand turns), anyways between him and me(I inherited it when he passed in 84), we wrecked the transmission hahaha it couldn't take it. But bas it was slowly dying in my aunt's car port I was being fast tracked through a bunch of "Army" training sir! Got that bonus, got that 10 day home and under my uncles supervision traded that truck, got a brand new 1985 AMC CJ (I think it was a 7) jeep. No frills, 4 wheel drive,4 cylinder, vinyl top,no radio. Just a stick jeep. I took that thing everywhere, eventually changing out to a more heavy tread set of tires. Just drove over, around,up,down, sideways shit! My buddies never knew to laughing or saying their prayer's. Loved that jeep, even used to shoot deer, just roll out drop the windshield and wait hahaha 😁. Are a lot of cornstalks and bugs. Why tell the story??? Because your vids remind me of those days, I never worried about the jeep, it always pulled through even when we landed it on a stump and after all of us pushed it off, did something to the clutch. Took it to a local shop, guy called me the next day, tolde bad news was to fix it required some tiny "O" ring that did something for the pressure in the clutch but you had to buy the whole clutch to get one. Good news? There was a 53 CJ way in the back of the salvage yard that had a tree growing out of it. But no one had ever taken the clutch apart? Well surprise surprise 😉 it had the exact same part and it was still in great shape!!!! $50 that was it and a used skid plate hahaha 😂 back in business. Miss that jeep...... Thanks for your stories, I was hell coming behind the wheel of quite a few vehicles, even in the military before the sucky hmvee we had the 151. Cheers from chemtrail hell Detroit

Hope you're doing ok, praying for you bro

This is one nasty rig! Nice job Richie, it is a beauty.

Who took the vinegar out of your piss ? It's like I'm seeing a declawed de toothed bear of RFB I used to know back in day. Are you turning the music down? Where's our RFB Superman when we need him in truth bomb and secret stuff he was the best. Now it's a car commercial. Did La Voy Finacum die for nought ? Come on brother folks need you back front line saving life's from lies. I love ya big brother mine ❤

RCV is located right here in my city and I know a really good dude that is their main sales representative.i probably even shipped them to you though our work.ill send em the video I’m sure he’ll find the video interesting.

Nice ❤

Like👍

😊

I do all 3 things. Thanks, I'm In................................

How do you like the Total Chaos controls arms? From the video, they seem pretty quiet. I'm having a hell of a time with another aftermarket brand with them squeaking, bad. Not only the squeaking, but to grease everything, you have to jack up the truck and unbolt the UCA before you can get grease into the bushings. Is Total Chaos the same way?

im in

Black rubber is always better. Has to do with the carbon I believe

Hey Richie what’s that box fan thing up where the spare goes in factory configuration?

Great video man! I ordered a marlin crawler rclt and a set of Rcv axles.. do you happen to know the part number to those boots? I didn’t see them on their website! Or what are they called? What do I need to search for when on their site? Cheers

I see 74 Weld Portal Axles in your future 🤑🤔

If the axle diameter is the same as stock, I'll bet those boots are OEM from Toyota.

Funny I’m in the process of editing my video on this a long with rebuilding the total chaos monoballs.

hello all, 2 pet 3:12 while you wait for Jehovah's day to come, while you always have it in mind. On that day the heavens will go up in flames and the elements will melt in the intense heat! 13 But we look forward to new heavens and a new earth coming, as he has promised, and righteousness will dwell there. Ephesians 4:31, 32 New World Translation of the Bible 31 Put away all malicious bitterness, resentment, anger, shouting, hurtful words and anything else that does harm. 32 But be kind and compassionate to one another, willingly forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has willingly forgiven you.

✔✔ ô¿ô Good Deal !!! ... .. .

How does Richie afford to drive all over and spend countless thousands of dollars repairing his truck plus gas and the expenses of traveling, like what is your budget? How much money per year to fund the Richie adventures,
