Hit an imoveable object, just the pin holder is bent and tore the boot, I am sure I can straighten it back out, I will have a spare though

You probably can but it will be a one time opportunity because the strength in the metal is signifigantly worse afterwards. The next time you hit something or do a few cartwheels on the road it will probably snap.
 
Finally got time to fix her up, ordered new parts from Dave's, front hinge pin holder set includes hinge pins, holders and plastic cup( pills), drive shafts boots, so upon tear down I find it only pulled the screw out a bit holding the rear hinge pin carrier, and busted out both of the front and rear hinge pin pills, so it all went back well with new pin pills and a new CV joint boot, seemed that the screw that was popped out, but tighten up ok, but I am sure the diff holder it screws into is compromised, but did tighten up, so I run it for 3/4 tank of fuel with no problems, awesome fun again
