Don't do that on hard dry ground,
you can damage stuff like that.

4WD is for use on slippery surfaces,
ice, snow, dirt , gravel ect.  if you use
the 4WD on dry streets it binds up the
driveline and can snap U-joints, pop CVs
break Axles or even Frag your driveshafts.

Use the 4WD for traction when it's slippery
only, not just for driving

Are the tires hitting the frame ???
What size are they ???
Describe "locks up" better, what do
you mean by this, the engine stalls,
the tires stop turning, chattering tires
???

That's odd, I would say use a little more throttle,
but I bet you tried that, sounds like binding, but
I can't say I have ever had that problem  :-/

sounds like someone welded the diff???
lift the car up on the a-arms and rotate the wheels separately sided to side.  one of your cvs might be binding as well

My '96 Tracker gives the same feeling of binding up, usually when winter driving and I get to a well plowed parking lot.  

I just chalked it up to what Wildgoody said, that you're not supposed to use 4wd on surfaces where you have good traction.  I just don't use 4wd on pavement, even if its wet.

I click out the hubs and it's fine.  It also has never been a problem off road.
