Quick update - I wrapped the CV boots with rescue tape. It held on one side, but rolled into the first groove on the other. The side that held looks good so far. I took it to a gravel lot and drove around in 4wd, making lots of tight turns. But I didn't have the terrain needed to work the suspension. I think the rescue tape can do the job. I will try wrapping the side that rolled again. This time, I will run the wraps onto the metal base of the shaft, at the axle housing, then throw a hose clamp on it. The tape fuses pretty quick once you stretch it and start to wrap. So I have a good hunch that running the wraps beyond the boot and clamping will hold it all in place. I'll post an update once I am able to put it to the test...
