When do you use lockers?

Low speed (of course), generally for only times when you need it. Rock crawling, obstacles, tire lifting articulation, etc. I would assume in the mud as well, though I haven't messed with mine in the mud.
Overall they are a limited use part, but when you need it, it's extremely nice.

Lockers can make some of the most challenging obstacles seem simple. You don't ever want to make a tight turn and much of a turn at all when the lockers are engaged unless on a loose surface. Pick your line and follow it, only turning to grab onto your obstacle and manuver over/around it.
I wish i had lockers, the things i would climb and the places i could go

When you want both tires on the axle to get full available torque. When you have all 4 tires pulling at the same speed.....the term mountain goat comes to mind. Actually get off road and you'll find out quickly.
You only have a 2 wheel drive....one on the front and one in the rear if you have open differentials.
