Why can I not just lock my manual front hubs for the winter? If I'm in 2 wd what is the difference between front manual hubs locked or unlocked?

With locked manual hubs, even in 2WD, the front axles and drive shaft are turning. Your gas mileage will suffer. The best bet for manual hubs is to leave them unlocked until needed.
