Thats my understanding also..

You guys ever come across fiddle brakes? I've never had a 4x4 that used them, but they seemed to be popular on "competition" 4x4 rigs at one point functioning almost like a "poor mans locker"..

As I understand it, they were essential a hand brake on each half shaft so any wheel that was loosing traction could be manually braked (locked) to send the power to the other...
