front driveshaft

[99-4wd]

hey guys
just wanted to know if there would be any problems if i took off the front shaft (for the summer) on my 99 4wd.
my dad has done it twice on his 95 explorer and he hasnt had any issues.

thx again guys.

Why would you do this?

 

[99-4wd]

dont wanna be in 4wd all the time. also with the allwheel drive system the truck is kinda rough when doin u turns.

Doesn't your truck have a 2wd setting? My 98 does, maybe they changed it in 99

same here my 97 also has the 2wd alternative..

I'm pretty sure only the '97s and '98s have the 2wd selection.
99+ (first generation, anyway) only have AWD, 4Hi, and 4Lo (on the 4x4 models, obviously).

yup. AWD here. SUX!!!!!!!!! i wish i had the 2wd option like i did on my 98

Who knew? I guess there's advantages to having the weirdly shaped front bumper!

pulling fuse 104 will do the same thing.

 

[99-4wd]

so basically i will have any issues by pulling either the shaft or the fuse correct?
i really dont want to risk anything u know, this is my daily driver.
