Start motor w/out coolant?
I am going to be pulling my radiator tomorrow to take it to get fixed.
The problem is i then have to move the Jeep out of the shop until I get
the radiator back. I have to move the jeep about 30 yds, would it be ok
to drive the Jeep this far with out any coolant and the radiator
removed?

No one can say 'for sure', but if it was mine I likely would go for it.

Re: Start motor w/out coolant?
If the engine is cold to begin with you can drive it for a few minutes
without trouble.

Just watch the temperature (probably won't budge within 30 yards though).
