Where does the transfercase disconnect 4wd?
I am wondering where the 4wd disconnects. If It is right in the transfercase, or at the front diff, or both?
The reason why I am asking is because I will be running a smaller spare tire. On my old truck I would just disconnect the hubs and run the spare on the front. If I run different size tires on the front of my 3rd gen, will the front diff always be turning?
I have a '99 standard 4runner, with the real transfercase, no 4wd buttons for me!

In your 99 the transfer case disconnects the front shaft in 2wd and the ADD disconnects one side of the diff. Both front axle shafts will still turn, because you don't have hubs, but it won't do any harm for them to turn at different speeds as they won't be connected together.
