Default my crisis

i was out having fun this weekend hittin all the mud roads having a blast and well after it was all said and done i washed my truck and then yesterday i went to a birthday party and they were going to have me pull the wagon for the hay ride and well they said oh the roads are too muddy but me and my friend said nah it'll be just fine. so we drove down the road and thought hey this aint bad at all. then stupid me i was driving way too fast coming back to the house and i hit a rut and it busted my front right balljoint and mutilated my front axel now i cant even drive in 2 wheel drive without banging and clanging and grinding in the front end does anyone have any clue how much this is going to cost to fix? because i cant drive it in this condition

at least a few hundred in parts... axles can be up to $100~125 (dont know for sure on the daks) and the ball joint replacement isnt cheep. if your going to do the labor yourself, get a manual 1st and see what's involved in swapping out what's broke. then decide if you think you can do it or not.
