I realize the sand part, I am just failing to see the logic of ALWAYS
locking the rears and front differentials at the SAME time.  There are lots
of times where locking the rear only is done and it would not be desirable
to lock the fronts.

Treaveling on sand needs all 4 wheels locked.  On
sand, if the rear set of wheels spins first, it is
easier to get stuck.  BTDT   Malcolm
