1986-the deluxe SR5 came with AUTO hubs which only worked when you are going forward... no automatic differential disconnect.
If your hubs are LOCKED, you'll be turning all your gears including the driveshaft up to the transfer case. Not a big problem I guess.
Make sure your diff is topped with the proper lube, same for your Xfer case, keep the Ujoints greased, make sure your CV boots are good.
drive! its winter!!!

Regarding the xfer case, remember that even in 2wd with your hubs unlocked (assuming that you have manual hubs) you're still turning through the xfer case for the rear driveshaft.

From looking at the grand scheme of things, I would have to agree that the increased drag would be relatively negligible considering....

No. There is no difference regarding tire wear between locked and unlocked. The vast majority of us have ADD front ends. With an ADD front end, the cv shaft has a solid connection to the wheel. If the wheel is spinning, the cv is spinning with it. Always. It's the same as having your manual hubs locked all the time.

What reasoning would you have for it ?
No, it doesn't matter a bit.
You're NOT in 4wd when the huibs are locked (unless the xfer case is in 4wd).
