If you had it in 4wd then yes. The front axle is open and after traction is lost only one tire will spin at a time. However it is possible that one of the front tires started to spin then grabbed allowing the other front tire to spin.

Did you try 4 low?
Yea I was in 4 Low at the time. Is there any way to verify the axle as open/lsd without taking off the diff cover?

If the traction on the gravel was about equal all the way around I dont see why it wouldnt spin all four. Even with open diffs.

On an open diff if each tire has NO traction or the same amount of traction then they will both spin. When one tire gets more traction then the open diff with then give the power to the tire with the least amount of traction.

Jack up the axle and spin one tire. If both rotate in the same direction then it has a locker.
ok I will give that a try this weekend.

ocasionally a resourcefull motorpool would increase the traction in their workhorse with a welder, installing what's usualy called a "lincon locker" with lockout hubs its not noticeable until they're locked in. And if it was owned by anyone other then the army there's no telling what's been changed without popping the cover off, it can't hurt to look and its a good excuse to change the oil in there. Good luck and hopefully someone put a real locker in there for you cus while a lincon locker works they are known to break at the worst possible time
