I scored a pair of CV axles from a member on InsightCentral for $100 after shipping, bought a replacement tie rod bolt for $15 from G1parts, a replacement control arm from RockAuto for ~$100, a replacement wheel (dirty-ugly) for $58 shipped. Now I need to get an alignment and my summer tires mounted, and worry about the potentially destroyed winter tire next year.

Pulled my trailer home from my father's garage:
