Smart move. Those high vibrations cause massive wear fast.
You can pull the rear driveshaft and just drive with front wheel drive
if you really want to. I have driven like that for a while before. If
you have a slip yoke into the t-case, you can cover the hole with a half
a pop can and hose clamp so fluid doesn't leak out. I believe Jerry or
someone once mentioned a top from a can of WD40 covers the hole.

I have decided not to drive it till its fixed. Also, my Christmas holidays
have started, I have a month off, I am sure one of these days weather will
give me enough break to put all the things on.
Is there any way to adjust the rear pinion angle without replacing
lower/upper control arms. Can I use an adjustable cam bolt to do some
minor tweaking on a TJ with Dana 44? This is not related to the above
project, just a hypothetical question.
Thanks
