Not a Subaru, but this repair can be used on anything with CV axles. I bought a Mercedes sight unseen 1000 miles away and picked it up with some friends. Along with a verity of issues, it had a torn axle boot. I packed the axle with grease then cleaned the outside of the torn boot and cup really well. I used several feet of duct tape wrapped around the axle boot with some zip ties to hold it in place. That repair held for 3000 miles until I finally replaced the axle.
Friend blew out a strut tower driving down logging roads in northern Maine. I had a chainsaw and some ratchet straps... He drove about 50 miles out of the logging roads and another 200 miles home like that.
I'll have to think about all the rest of the redneck stuff I've done to get cars home...
At a rallyx once a friend got a rock in his rim and it actually bend the mounting tab on the knuckle where the caliper bracket bolts. The caliper bracket was hitting the rotor so I took about a foot of stainless bailing wire and wrapped it around the bolt making it into a washer. That spaced the bracket out far enough it stopped hitting the rotor. He drove like that for weeks..
hmm that tie-down strap looks awfully familiar. I think its a requirement to acquire a few over the years.

Incase anyone read my tire size that's a typo. The size on Loyd are 235/75r15.

Here is a pic of Loyd the Loyale the day after I bought him. You can see the color a bit better.

If you are planning a lot of towing I wouldn't recommend a 6" lift. Since you'll be stressing the CV joints with the lift alone adding a trailer maybe too much stress. The CJ is a good tow option for running the Appalachian Trail for people. That sounds like a fun summer.

it's more of a tan. I have a bunch of florescent lights in my garage that's throwing off the color a bit.

SJR 4" with 275/75r15s. Need to trim the front fenders a bit. With the tire size increase and lift the upper lip of the fenders went from 27 to 34"

That was it. It was covered in tape so it didn't look like it came off. Awesome. And thanks for the help.

put my lift kit on this weekend.

I installed a lift kit this weekend on Loyd the Loyale and went to take a test run and now it won't start. I've never had an issue with Loyd starting before. Won't Crank. Battery is good, wires look fine. There is a noise coming from the fuel pump area. Could I have tripped a fuel kill switch? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

In regards to the one white and one red reverse light. The one red is a rear fog light. Required by some nations DOT or equivalent.

Parts geek seems to have the best price. I think the shaft has a $15 core, maybe a bit more. As for pulling the shaft its pretty straight forward. You'll probably need a puller for the brake side and the tranny side is a roll pin. O'reillys' have them in stock here in Wasilla. They looked like they'd work out pretty good. The core is $20 if I remember.
