yes but you'll need to engage difflock in order for the vehicle to move..

Not unless youve got the diff lock on all the time...and itd be a bugger the day you need the 4wd or difflock and youve removed the propshaft...

You'd be better off with Ford Escrote maybe ... but yes, you can remove a prop and have 2wd, so long as you leave the transfer box in diff-lock.
Personally, if I were going to do this I'd go the whole hog, remove the diff and half-shafts and blank the holes up ... but I'd keep it rear wheel drive 'cos I like rwd ...
... Well actually I wouldn't, I'd buy a pickup ...

So you had a 2wd, front wheel drive, found it was ****e and now want to make the Landrover front 2wd ... WHY ?!?!
You say it's a workhorse, well if you do any towing or carrying heavy loads you'll find 4wd or rwd will be a lot better than 2wd/fwd.

how does making it 2wd save fuel?
You are still turning the diff and halfshafts, they are just being turned by the wheels instead.
You would lose a lot of handling benefits too.
Keep it as it is, or buy a tranny van.
