    Wrench 2WD - Half-shafts removed

    So I just replaced my CV boots about 3 months ago and they ripped again. The other day I was on surface streets and the VX starts making a thump thump sound from the left front axle area. I limped it for about 10 miles, then it just stopped... Drove fine afterward. So I decided I need to make it safe until I decide to either diff drop or body lift. I pulled the half shafts out (2hr job).
    I hate to say it but I love how it drives as a 2WD! I'm sure it would feel good too if the axles were level, but honestly I haven't done much off-roading in the last couple years. It's my daily highway transport right now.

    So, question for those who have done this:
    What did you do to cover the inner hub/wheel bearing area? Right now it's totally exposed to the elements.
    Thanks,
    Jim
