Would it drive without front diff?
Good morning,
I need to take my front diff to be rebuilt, guy is 60 miles away. He does not remove/install diffs, just rebuilds them. My local guy can take it off the car. But will my d3 drive without front diff?

Recent thread suggests not.

you can move it short distances using rock crawl but you cant drive it at any speed

Beg, steal, borrow or rent another car? Get a lift? Or take it on the bus?

Im in exactly the same dilema....have new front diff ready to be installed by the only guy i trust to touch any of my vehicles ...problem i have is taht when it went it also destroye da wheel bearing and both outer cv joints.
So issue is i dont want to refit new drive shafts into a busted diff just for them to be removed again to swap in the new one.Hoping ill be able to somehow get the vehicle to its destination..even if it throws all sorts of faults and runs on bump stops....may have to do it under cover of darkness!
By the way i live in a rural area so wont be on any main roads! (only reason its going to garage is teh last time i swapped a diff on the drive i nearly broke my back so mrs has put her foot down!)

Drain oil out and send it by courier, probably cheapest way!It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
