Need to drive 1800 miles and my front drive line (shaft from transfer case to front axle) needs new u joints all around. It's like 260 bucks and I'm wondering if I can just take the shaft out and only run 2wd the whole way back?

 

Yes,you can drive with the front shaft removed. And, it's like $30 for new u-joints and like 30-45 minutes to change them (3 of them on front shaft).

 

X2. Its not hard to change the u joints on the front driveshaft. But if you don't need your 4wd then remove the shaft. Simple to do

 

I never run my front shaft unless I know I'm going to be out wheeling. Smooth as buttah.

 

Now that yall say that it kind of make sense hah. Well thanks for your help guys I appreciate it
