    I'm hoping you can limp in and get patched up in Amarillo. Avoid the Big Texan, it's a tourist trap. Palo Duro is a nice side trip.

    Fawk, I was just on i40 for the last 3 days on my way home from Dallas. I was in my Tundra and could have at least towed you to town. Where abouts are you?

    Drive smart. Even with the driveshaft pulled you can still easily lock up the rear if something big gets caught up in the gears. Or what's left of them. How's the rear sound going down the road?

    For what it's worth, a few years back a friend broke his driveshaft down in Moab so we pulled it at the trailhead and then drove 1000+ miles back to Bellingham in front wheel drive. Best of luck!

    Lol front wheel drive is working great so far. Even with the rear drive shaft out the rear still sounds like a bucket or marbles
