Does the drive shaft turn in neutral?

Is it possible to turn the front drive shaft?
That is how the TJ 4wd works. The simple answer is the front axle never disengages from the axle shafts, the gears, or the driveshaft. The only thing that disconnects is the transfer case. So you can’t turn the front driveshaft as long as the Jeep is on the ground.
Where is the connection between the front drive shaft and the differential?
The connection is inside the transfer case not the front differential. So the front wheels the front axles and the differential and and drive shaft turn all the time… When you engage the vehicle into four-wheel drive the connection is made inside the transfer case… And then the front is actually driving along with the rear .

Can a 4WD truck drive without a front drive shaft?
Can you drive a 4WD truck without a front or rear drive shaft? Yes, this is possible if you drive a traditional 4WD with a lockable center differential. Remove the damaged drive shaft and lock the center differential. This will allow the transfer box to transfer power to the front or rear drive shaft.
