not only will it not hurt it.... it will help it. it'll keep the front hubs greased up but won't bind the t-case on the pavement. when it rains a lot here i leave my front hubs locked and t-case in 2wd, that way when i find some real soft stuff i can just hit 4x4 instead of having to jump out everytime.

Makes sense. After 15+ years of wheeling, I never thought of that. Also, you won't get into a situation where you get stuck, then have to get out, lock the hubs, and pray you make it out....

thanks fishman
