In 4wd, in good traction conditions, on the street with a locker or without, if you are just gear drive the system will bind up. There is just not enough slip in the drivetrain to accomidate that situation. Which is why Toyota added the VC to their full time trucks. Slip from front to rear is needed.

In low traction conditions, it will be fine.

I always get a kick of how many people theorize what it is like to drive a locked truck in the snow/ice.. it is not that bad. Truly.. It just takes a slight alteration in your driving style.
