Did some digging (that has to be a good 2wd "I sunk the rear of the jeep" pun), but I haven't found great answers on lockers being used in 2WD.
For example, I was testing out my new axles in the pasture this evening and I switched to 4 high, then to 4 low, then engaged the lockers to make sure everything was functioning properly. Drove maybe a few hundred feet in this configuration. Upon pulling back in the driveway, I noticed I forgot to lock in the hubs.
So, my main question is... can activating the lockers front and rear do any major damage without the hubs being locked? How about t-case damage? I can see how someone forgetting to lock in the hubs might run into this issue.
My other question is... is there ever a time or place when one could engage 4 high/low and activate the rear locker only?
Just trying to save myself some unnecessary wear in the future and do things right the first time. Thanks!
