[jotto]

I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't find the answer so I'm going to ask anyway!

Can I remove my rear propshaft put the surf in 4 wheel drive and drive about 10 miles using just the front wheels?????

How would I get wind up if the rear prop is removed????

[TonyN]

Yeah, its fine, I drove my pickup around for 2 weeks like this when the rear prop was getting balenced.

I'd put it in 4wd first though, as the ADD often needs the car to move along to engage, if you take the rear prop off, you'll have to push it!!!

You're still only driving one axle, so theres nothing to wind up. It'll be a good test of your CV's

A good question - you'll just be driving an oversized mini

I like to get wind up just before my break ends
