Made it home with some drama...

In 18 + years of owning my Ranger, this is the first time I have ever had to have it towed. Made it to within 36 miles from home and smoked a wheel bearing. Local (to the breakdown) Autozone did not have the bearings I wanted or even the rotor at all, so rather than put cheap bearings and do a messy parking lot repair, I decided to use my emergency roadside assistance on my insurance and just tow the truck home where I can deal with it on my own time and a full range of tools and see if I completely snarfed the spindle.
