I had to pull the rear driveshaft out of my 89 trooper to get it worked on. Then, to mvoe it from the driveway to the garage, I put it in 4-HI, locked the front hubs, and drove it normally. So, here's my question:
Any reason why this wouldn't work permanently? Not that I want to do it, but the drivetrain on the 89s is completely mechanical, and mine has manual hubs to boot.
I understand that I'd have to make sure dirt didn't get into the rear differential and all that. The front half of the driveshaft is still in, so the seal against the tranny is good.
