how is the set up? is it the same as our surfs where engine is RWD setup, and the transfer box is in the middle, or is it like a mitsubishi GTO or new nissan 4x4's where the engine is FWD setup and i think the transfer box is inside the gearbox up the front.
so this way taking out the prop would just make it FWD
im confusing myself. last celica i looked at, the engine was 90 degrees to the direction of travel (normal driving)
our surfs have forward facing engines ?
anyways, if no one knows, then how about getting a trolley jack under the rear diff, jacking up a bit then getting in and trying to pull away slowly with the handbrake off.
if you move then this would mean that the diff in between the front/rear wheels will put the power to the front wheels when there is no drive at the rear.
my guess though is that the rear wheels will just turn and you wont go anywhere
be carefull though, its the sort of thing i would do, but everyone would tell me not to, but i would do it anyway.

the newer ravs are conventional 4wd,the older ones are basiccally conventional 2wd until the back wheels spin,and like the blurghhhlander
there is a viscous coupling which has a jelly which shears.this then locks the coupling until the rear wheels stop spinning,carp idea so yeah disconnect away
