it would be ok enough to roll onto a tow truck... thats about it.. i would not drag it home without a 3rd. to support the axle shafts. do you have a spare 3rd laying around you could swap in? if you were closer i'd loan you one.....

Yeah like Tofer you could borrow one, or you could always get a cheap 4.10 set up off CL just to get you home.
