Seems as though it wasn't a dumb question after all. It got a lot of responses. If I don't get a chance to go 4 wheeling, at least once a month I either lock in my hubs and leave the transfer case in 2H or leave my hubs unlocked and the transfer case in 4H for a couple of miles just to keep all of the seals from drying out. I've never had a problem doing that. I think ( and correct me if I'm wrong ) what your saying is you want to drive around with your hubs locked in and in 2WD but shift the transfer case to 4WD when you need it so you don't have to get out of the truck? Yes, if you leave them locked in all of the time, it will cause a lot of unecessary wear and kill your gas mileage, but if you have an open diff and it makes you happy and it's not too obnoxious to drive, I say go for it. Just my opinion FWIW
