Front drive shaft in 2WD.

...Unless that was a hint of sarcasm which shame on me.

Nah, my sarcasm was cleverly cloaked by a veil of ineptitude with frivolty

I think we should get the highest lifted VX, and tie strap someone to the bottom so they can grab the shaft and see how much force there is.

LOL
Sounds like a Moab Drinking Game to me!
Too bad I'm not going.....

ROFL

I was actually researching a driveshaft brake for a while but that project went an entirely different direction.

Totally NOT apropos anyway since it would have been on the rear driveshaft & we're talking front.

Zipties do not work for holding someone, well they do, but it hurts a lot. We ziptied a guy to the ceiling on my first boat, before hazing became a cultural no no, left some nasty bruises. I guess if you used enough ties to distribute the wright better, but be warned, 4 industrial ties will hold a 165lb guy, but not comfortably
As for the spinning, I guess the best thing would be to stomp on it in 4high with TOD disconnected and see if it accelerates smoothly with the truck. I would think if it is light coupling, that there would be some slippage.
