u-joint test
Ok so I have a 99 discovery II and I am pretty sure I need to replace my front u-joints. But just to be sure I was wanting to drive my truck with the front driveshaft out. I was wondering if I can do this without messing anything up.
I read another thread that said on an 03 to lock the center diff. Well on a 99 I don't have that. Thanks for the help in advance. If I can't drive it I will just change the u-joints out anyway. I would just feel more comfortable knowing that I tested it.

If you don't have a center differential lock you cannot drive without your front driveshaft. You won't do any harm you just will no go anywhere. I'm not sure if the '99 has a diff lock nipple on center differential, think it does and you can lock it with a wrench, you may want to check.
Inspect your ujoints as follows:

Ok so I have been looking and know that I can manually lock my diff, but I can't seem to find out how. So if anyone knows how to lock my center diff that doesn't have a lever, please let me know. I have decided to take my shaft to a shop and let them rebuild it for me, but I want to drive the rover while it is out.
