SlowPro48--- I disagree. In an off-road environment, 4WD "Low Range" is absolutely mandatory because the need to slowly crawl over obstacles and/or manuever slowly around obstacles with varying degrees of road surface (sand, mud, snow, slick-rock, tree-rooted, jeep-trail tire-rutted, etc). Trying to haul@ss in high gear in an off-road environment is merely gonna' get your vehicle either stuck (buried up to the axles due to its high HP torque) and/or totaled into a boulder or tree.

Additional ground clearance can easily be increased with taller O.D. tires, provided they fit within the confines of the fenderwells. When it comes to selectable 4WD "Low Range"-- either it came on the vehicle from the factory or it didn't. It can't simply be added later on a whim. Heck, even the tiny Suzuki X-90 (1996--1998) came with a 3-way transfer case in 2W-Hi, 4W-Hi, 4W-Lo.
