Damaged Ring & Pinion

We drove up a hill and heard a "POP".
We then lost all traction to the front axle and had a instant 2 wheel drive.
After babying it back 80 miles to Houston, we then looked into the problem.  After inspecting the CV joints and axles that were fine, we then pulled the 3rd member then it was obvious.  The spider gears were laying in the bottom of the housing.
