We buzzed Mt St Helens flying into SeaTac this afternoon. Absolutely gorgeous day.

But no, it didn't look like your front lockers were locked. I'm pretty sure they shouldn't be moving independently at all. You'll know if they're locked as soon as you try to turn.

Note that front lockers are pretty much a last resort since it's extremely difficult to turn when they're enabled.

How can test my front locker in my driveway?

I'm pretty sure you'd have to jack up all 4 wheels to test it.

It's much easier to find a dirt or gravel road, drop it into 4lo, enable lockers, and try making a sharp turn. There should be a massive difference in how it responds to steering input.

I just want to test my front locker, because it is aftermarket and Jeep doesn't show it

Maybe just jack up the front and spin one tire? If the other rotates in the opposite direction then it's not locked.

I think I will go to a close by self-serve garage that charges $30 an hour. They have a nice lift.
