Hey guys, I removed my front diff, cv axles, and driveshaft today to install a Lokka. I ended up damaging an axle seal on the diff and I can't pick one up till tomorrow.
I have to go to work tomorrow, so is it ok to drive up to 65 mph just bolting it all back together without the front part of my drivetrain?
Any help is appreciated!

I can't say it is a great idea with all that weight removed from the truck but when I blew up my front diff, I drove a bit (a few 1+ hour highway trips) without the front diff, 2 half shafts and the drive shaft. Nothing bad happened that I am aware of.

With a lot less weight in the front. I had no down travel as I had most of my armor off and though the diff isn't heavy, it does have some weight to it.

Little late on this but I drove this way for about 2 weeks when I tore up my spider gears. The only noticeable effect was better MPG.

So how did the rest of this go? Is the Frontier back together? How was the tear down and reassembly?
And, great score on the Lokka! I saw you posted up on clubfrontier.
