Just a thought from a die-hard jeep nut!!! Anybody else agree?

In anycase it seems to me to be easier to crawl under and drop the propeller
shafts themselves. (I didn't say it would be quick and easy, I said it would
be quicker and easier)
You have to keep an eye on your caps but there are no gaskets to damage and no
where near as much grease and junk to deal with It only takes a couple minutes
to drop the prop shaft at the differential and wire it to the frame for the
trip. Unless you are towing the jeep a great distance at a high speed I can't
imagine why you would bother with all this. If the parade is close by then you
should probably just drive the jeep there! I would.
