Couple of quotes and questions here about low range. Its a mis-conception that low range somehow gives you more traction. It does not. A low range setting allows for the gears to muliply the axle differentials, thereby reducing rpm output. This will subsequently boost torque, so there is more torque available at each wheel. This is great for rock crawling or other difficult situations when you need to slow down each wheel for precise control. However, low range has nothing to do with traction and if you're stuck it is not going to get you out. This is when you need some type of electronic traction control or a locker.
