Does anyone know where I can get a "split" inner CV boot for a 1995 4Runner?

Did you happen to ask ANY of your local auto parts stores? Even one?

The boot at Autozone isn't large enough. I need a 4 inch wide boot and all
of the universal boots that I have found are too small. I'm still looking
and hope to find one locally, but I'm not too hopeful. Seems like I can't
find a split boot for the inner. I've been to web pages and shop all around
the local area and can't find a split boot made for the 4Runner. I've got a
line on a Dorman boot that will work, but not an exact match.

I don't know if this was a local thing, but it seems like there aren't any
available. We'll see.

Thanks for the heads up.

I am assuming that your in Kalifornia..... and that there is a boot on one
side but not the other??
Try this on for size.... being as the folks in the inspection stations are
not too bright, continue your search for TWO new boots.
Remove the other one and do the smog check with no boots. It will probably
go through with no problems. Consider... if they see only one, they want to
know where the other one went... if they don't see any.....duh, ok.....PASS

I still have yet to figure our what CV joint dust boots have to do with
engine emissions.

Not emissions, vehicle state inspection. We have to do this in order to get
tags and registration when you want to put a vehicle on the road. I just
bought the 4Runner, replaced the engine, got most of the vehicle ready for
the inspection, but can only find the regular boot. Maybe I'll just tear
the axle apart and do it the right way.
