You still have shift-on-the-fly when the hubs are locked. I keep mine locked most of the winter, just for that reason...

that is true i suppose. but if persay you were on a flat part of a trail and were driving faster, the ujoints would probably make a lot of noise, unless you got out and unlocked the hubs, which would be annoying.

anyone have a set of CV's they wont be using for awhile? i will modify them with a reinforced slip spline shaft for free, then you would just need to test them for me.

probably 1-2 weeks turn around time.
