And I am about 25 miles away from my house, how safe would it be to drive it home? Or am I better off just getting it towed on a flat bed tonight? Was thinking of pulling the diff out tomorrow but was gonna see if a shop can get it on a lift and just reweld the gears together.

How plausible is all of this?
if it's your diff....then eventually one of those welds may get stuck inside, and lock it up (my buddy had it happen on the freeway. Instant drifting on the HWY).

Drive slow if it's worth it to you. 25 miles is a ways away.
