Was going to comment on the fact that in *part-time* the front wheels would
have to move to engage the hubs, that is why the below scenario did not
budge when the *part-time* was engaged, but that would not explain why it
did when he put it in *full-time*.

I admit that I did not do the research as to why, but anyone know exactly
how CC's full-time operates with relation to the hubs?
