Old BRAT w/original axles... 500.00
Rebuild axle from Kragens 78 bucks.
Knowing that I have a Subaru that's built like a tank....... priceless.
So I am driving my BRAT the other day and my roommate just did a clutch adjustment. This is the first time I have driven it since the adjustment and I felt like it was engaging strongly. So I floor the accelerator and I get this metal crunching noise and then I hear something grenade and bits of metal falling off of the car.
Now I am getting no power so I am thinking I grenaded my tranny. Manage to get the car into the middle lane and pull the 4wd lever and I power again.
Pull over and see that I blew the Driver side DOJ joint. I shrug and continue on as planned.

W/O 4wd would have been stuck and fuming.
