Subject:      Syncro and Long Trip w/o Front Drive Shaft?
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

I am planning a long trip - Nova Scotia to Arizona - and back this
summer.  I have no plans for needing the 4WD except for maybe 2
weeks in Arizona and New Mexico.    My questions are:

1)  would you recommend removing the front drive shaft for the trip
    (I can carry it with me and reinstall if/when I need it).

2)  Any damage in driving long periods w/o the front drive shaft?
    (my goal is to save the wear and tear on the VC and drive shaft
    if not needed)

Yes, I have the posts about removing and re-installing the front
drive shaft.   Thanks,  Malcolm S
