I don't believe that is right at all for the 300.

When the hubs are open, the front driveshaft does not move. Therefore I
think the oil gets slung from the front input shaft like my owners
manual says.

The owners manual for the 85 and 86 states you have to run the engine in
gear with the t-case in neutral every hundred miles or so to lube up the
t-case.

If locking the front hubs would keep it lubed up, you would think the
manual would say so to avoid having to stop and run the engine. etc...

OK, I wasn't sure if it was the input shaft or front output shaft for the
300. If it was the output shaft, you could lock the hubs to provide
lubrication...perhaps some other Tcase does that.

Why even put the wear and tear on the components in the first place. It's 8
small bolts/nuts and thats it....no stopping every X hundred of miles. My vote
is just remove the driveshaft or remove the rear end and wire it up (only 4
little bolts then)

Exactly!
When you're going 2000 miles stopping every 200 to run the engine sucks!
