Default Breaks locking?

My breaks have seem to be locking up after it rains and it sits overnight. If I just touch the breaks a little too much the breaks will lock up completley. After they warm up they are fine again. What can I do to preven this from happening

don't touch the brakes too much. There was a post a few weeks ago about this... I think it's just rust on the brakes that grabs. press the brakes lightly to wear it off when you first start moving and it'll take care of it.

I think this is like the poor header design, just part of the package...

It's the front brakes that are doing it. I bought my jeep about a year ago and it's been doing it ever since I've had it. That what I do now, I just tap the breaks really easily for the first few minutes of driving, it can be a little dangerous though in the wrong situation. Is there any adjustments of something that could be done?
