Subject:      Drive shaft removal (Syncro)
Comments: cc: syncro@onelist.com

Another question related to my upcoming trip:


Would any of you Syncronauts out there recommend removing the drive shaft
and carrying it with me until reaching the back country?  If anyone has done
this, where did you stow the drive shaft while underway?  How long does it
take to R & R?


We'll be covering over 2,000 miles, and very little of that will require
4WD.  I am interested in improving fuel economy, and saving wear & tear on
the front diff. and VC.


Anyone ever had vibration problems spontaneously appear after removing and
then reinstalling the drive shaft without modifying anything?  (This is my
*biggest* fear)


Thanks again,


Brent Christensen
