It's always interesting the difference between our wheeling and that of those from the mountain country. On my last outing, I used low range 1 time. Now when I head up to NC or TN, it is a different story. There I use it most of the time. Climbing here means a sugar sand climb up a mild hill. I generally just air down (15 PSI or so), put it in high 4WD and first gear then push the pedal to the floor until I hit the top. Here I primarily use the front drivetrain, not so much the gears.
