your 4x4 system has auto locking hubs and a center disconect system.
when power is applied to the hubs from the axles the will auto lock.
the thing to be careful of on this system is the center axle
disconect... lost mine once while in the middle of some real rough
trails. had to keep having my buddies pull me out with their Rangettes.
