Smart move. Those high vibrations cause massive wear fast.

You can pull the rear driveshaft and just drive with front wheel drive
if you really want to. I have driven like that for a while before. If
you have a slip yoke into the t-case, you can cover the hole with a half
a pop can and hose clamp so fluid doesn't leak out. I believe Jerry or
someone once mentioned a top from a can of WD40 covers the hole.
