SOS!! HELP!! SoCal member with blown rear in PDX needs assistance!!

Help!
I just blew my rear diff as I was about to leave downtown Portland. (Thankfully I hadn't hit the freeway yet!)
I am currently parked in front of the Century Building, 1208 SW 13th Ave, cross streets SW 13th and Jefferson. Barcelona Red DCLB with a black softopper, ARB front bumper, and sliders.
If anyone nearby can assist, it would be GREATLY appreciated. My cell phone number is --DELETED--
I have a spare complete 3rd at home in SoCal. The Traveler (Matt) has offered to overnight it to me. I have my hand tools with me; what I need are: place to work, impact wrench with large socket for the pinion nut, quality gear lube, gasket maker (jack stands, gasket removal tools, and magnets would be helpful tools to have, as well).

Or if anyone could hook me up with a tow to Grants Pass where my kids and mom are, that would also be incredibly helpful. Or a tow all the way to SoCal, for anyone heading that way anyway

Thanks in advance!

good luck man!

 

I posted this in the Or/Wa BS thread. Hope someone can come to your aid!

 

bump for some awareness. don't have any of the above listed items

 

BUmp

 

Mach do you have Triple AAA?

 

No. Wife's insurance would likely cover a tow to the closest shop. If nothing else pans out, that may be what we do. But nothing to get me home

 

I'm calling you now, maybe I can help ya out

There we go. Got Jonnie in here. He would be your best shot for help at the moment.

 

OP i left you a voicemail.

I've got:

place to work, impact wrench with large socket = maybe for the pinion nut, quality gear lube = napa, gasket maker (jack stands = yes, gasket removal tools, and magnets would be helpful tools to have, as well).

I probably don't have everything you need...but my neighbor might. And i love working on rigs so im sure we could get it done.

 

I can get him to your place if you don't have your truck already Jonnie. was headed your way today/tomorrow regardless.

*no trailer, just tow ropes.

 

Yeah i drove the car to work. So tow his ass to my place.

I'll be off work at 5:00, but if i need to get off earlier i will.

 

You guys are dope for helping him out!!

 

That's Awesome you guys are helping the OP out!

Good Karma For Sure.

Keep us posted on the process/outcome of this situation.

 

Spoke with OP,

Here's what we figured out.....

HE'S FUCKED!!

lol jk...but kinda

He's gonna check on towing options (Save Cody's Taco), and return some other calls before he commits. Sounds like the main thing i would need is the pinion socket which he says is like a 32mm.

 

Quicker than AAA. That's impressive.

 

Unfortunately I'm not in PDX if I was I would been there in a heartbeat!

 

pops said he has the nearest in standard being a 1 1/4 but not sure if it'd work.
