Mate said they keep all the mud and crap in the shock,shorly if you
Use cable ties it will keep the crap out?

I have no problems without them, they can only hold in any muck. Saying that I have mine on my steering damper, no idea why I put it on :-)

But it will come off when I strip my jimny down for its new suspension set-up.

They can hold muck if they're not installed properly. There's a little hole one one side of the rubber boot which allows water/condensation to leak out, that is if you don't cover it of course. Previous owner covered it and rust formed on the shock casing
