I Broke It...

I went wheeling today (no pics sorry) and I believe I broke either my Fwd passenger side axle, or birfeild.. Happened on the 2nd or 3rd obstacle. Anyway, when I get on it, I heard a rapid grinding/rapping noise from that corner. I milked it back to the main road, and left it until the end of the day. On my trip back home, I just unlocked the hub's and drove highway speeds (for like 70mi ) to get home. Anyways, when I hit the brakes I hear a clunking noise from that corner and under speeds of 10 mph I can feel it grind and somewhat pull to the right too..

I am about to start pulling things apart, but almost don't want to. I'll be out of town here in a couple days, then a week after I get back, I go to Iraq.. So I either jump through my ass to get it back together, or; since I'll be gone for so long; drive it one last time to where I'm storing it and leave it.. Whats your thoughts on driving it one more time - maybe 50 mi.
