Hi,
I have a 1999 XJ diesel manual with command trac, I have removed the rear drive shaft, is it safe to drive in 4H as Front Wheel Drive only or will it do damage?
Thanks

Reason: more info
I have seen it done on toyota hiluxe's but they use a flange style uni attachment for the rear driveshaft not a slip yoke but the system is durable enough to operate full time.
What transfer case is that in XJ? I drove with just front driveshaft in my TJ for a month while I waited for a replacement rear driveshaft parta. Rear driveshaft was completely removed. It caused no dramas or "splashes" of fluid. Depends on whether their is a seal on the rear output shaft or not on the transfer case.
The diesel runs a np231 from memory. I pulled my rear shaft out once to try and trouble shoot a problem and after the Test driver there was shit everywhere

TJ had NP231as well. But I know earlier NP231s in YJ were not sealed like TJ ones. Maybe some XJ ones are like that too. A photo would be very helpful from OP.
