Obviously not.

What reason would there be for NOT locking the front axle vs leaving the diff open? Since there are NO lockers ANYWHERE that I'm aware of for my front axle, why not just get the thing locked permanently? I don't use 4WD unless I'm wheeling, and I mean wheeling pretty hard (not talking dirt roads here) so... what would the harm be? For street driving you just run 2WD with your hubs set to 'free'.

Change your oil hot and often.
