Re: how to lock the wheels on my jeep?
In addition to what others are saying, keeping all four wheels on the ground
is a good idea too. You can lock the wheels together with special equipment
or even with the brake method, but this is more stress than the system is
designed to handle. People who regularly get wheels in the air invest in
heavier axles, special differentials and equipment that we ordinary mortals
can only dream of.
