    DOOHHH..my bad..I missed the manual hub bit

    There was a school of thought up in Fargo...
    ... that says the clutch plates in the TOD will not disengage 100%

    So..some front shaft rotation will take place.

    I 'was' against this theory....
    ..but since comming back I believe its true.

    Even with my hubs disengaged, I am noticing ( now I'm looking/listening for it!)...
    ..some clicking now and then from my front Aussie Lockers.

    I'm pretty sure this would only happen if shaft was turning.

    BTW..have a long/thin/sharp knife ready to cut the double sided tape when removing cladding
    Start at the doors..move Fore & Aft from there.

    I agree that there must be some front shaft rotation, but with the peppier feeling, it must not be much.
    I have no definitive way to say how much power is actually being transferred, could just be a light friction amount, but I am not willing to try and find out with the rear axle on jack stands
