Mention of 50/50 torque splits in the context of LR products & open centre diffs, someone is getting confused. It's only 50/50 driving in a straight line, it could also be 100/0 or 0/100 or anywhere in between without the CD locked.

A torque split is only applicable when there is control over where the torque goes otherwise its just an open diff.
Someone is getting confused, and it isn't me. Have a look at how both the New Venture and Magna Steyr transfer boxes work, they aren't simply open or locked (e.g. the NV limits torque split to 65/35 to either end and can't fully lock).
