After driving the beach for 20+ years. I have a cardinal rule, never drive below the high tide line. Odds are nothing will go wrong, but if things go south, you become an eternal internet legend.

That looks like a rubber grommet to hold the shocks boot in place
I'll get my price protection when supply exceeds demand in a couple of years and easily acquire one for less tahn MSRP and has a few more bugs worked out...well at least they hire some QC folks. LOL
