A reply I got to a question regarding the front driveshaft pointed me at the recreational towing section in the manual. The gist of it was that if you tow the JK behind a motorhome, have all four tires on the ground so both driveshafts can spin, and don't use a tow dolly where the fronts can not spin and the rears can.
CAUTION!
Front or rear wheel lifts should not be used. Internal
damage to the transmission or transfer case will occur
if a front or rear wheel lift is used when recreational
towing.
Which got me thinking about having the driveshafts spinning at different speeds. Anyway, since the tcase can't accomodate one moving and one stationary driveshaft, I was just curious if it would take care of two that were moving, but at different speeds...

interesting point it's just as easy to remove the driveshaft just in case
