Rock Auto shorted me one boot for the front outer half shaft, so they're shipping another out. Guess that ended up being O.K. since I haven't retrieved the shafts themselves yet.

On another note, we learned to pay better attention to which parts go on different models. A 2WD truck oil pan does not fit where a Montero oil pan does. This necessitated a trip to Auto Zone for a new gasket and a dig through the parts pile to locate the correct oil pick up. I'll let your brain paint the picture...
