Oh and you can drive most all newer part time 4x4 trucks in 4 high on dry pavement without the driveline binding up. Turning sharp is obviously difficult though. Still not reccomended.
You and 4x4Ord are saying this, but I drove my 2009 Tacoma about 25km in 4x4 on a paved, secondary road 80km/hr. And the front transfer case (I think) was cooking good and smelly at the end of it. It wasn't a high speed road, but 80km/hr is the speed limit with no reductions for curves that I recall.
The road was white, but it was only a dusting of snow that fell around the crushed rock in the asphalt. So not slippery at all, as I discovered afterwards.
