You can not hang the rear drive shaft in any fashion that will allow you to
leave it in place while driving home on the front end.. The rear shaft must
be removed. You must remove the bolts at the transfer case to remove the
drive shaft.

You selected Neutral with the transfer case, not 4WD. Because you selected
N, this means you were on your way to selecting 4LO, b ut you want 4HI.

There is no harmonic balancer anywhere near the rear driveshaft where it
connects to the differential. The connection to the diff is called a yoke,
and the universal joint is bolted to the yoke via straps or u-bolts. You
have lost the universal joint, and perhaps the straps (since straps are
stock fitment) You will need to replace at least the universal joint, and
you probably should replace the straps with u-bolts.

Given the damage you could have had, you might need to replace the yoke too.

sooo yeah I am a friggin idiot...I forgot to lock the hubs!!
As soon as I can get a ride and a 8mm socket I'll be rollin...

How can I tell before getting everything back together if I need a new
rear pinion?
It vibrated for about 2 weeks before it blew.

Thanks for the responses,

Look in the cups where the u-joint sits for the end tabs. These tabs
need to hold the u-joint from moving side to side so if they are bent or
missing, you need a new yoke.

When you fit the new u-joint, if it fits snug between these tabs, you
are good to go.

They usually are bad after a blow out, not always, but....

They cannot be bent back straight, the yoke is cast. I have heard of
folks welding the caps in, but...
