Similar story in Blake's Hog of Steel. Three days after crossing Rio Grande 
south to north at Big Bend, yes the truck was flooded and died in the river, 
but a roadgrader pulled us out the next morning. On I - 35 the rear driveshaft 
slung itself apart and clanged down the road behind us.
Front wheel drive got us back to Austin.
Ask Blake to tell you this story sometime. Takes several hours.

A similar thing happened to my 4WD school bus coming back from Mexico one time. 
In the middle of the International Bridge heading into Texas the pinion nut 
broke or fell off, dropping the rear drive shaft. We took the rear shaft off, 
locked the hubs and drove back to Austin with the front drive shaft.

The Sequoia ( Lemon) seems to be  lots of good money after bad. Trade it in on 
a brand new Yugo or Lada or maybe a Fiat? My 1983 Ford Bronco has over 700,000 
miles and has never failed. The drive shaft fell off in Mexico once but I just 
wired it back and went on in two wheel.
