Toklar: If you were trying to go over about 5 mph in low range the engine was probably over-reving. You have a tach, right? What does it show when it sounds like the engine is about to blow?

I'll say it again, there is no hill so steep that it requires low range for a modern Jeep simply because it is steep. The limits are set by traction and by the Jeep tipping over backwards. Low range is for going very slow with power so you can negotiate obstacles such as boulders or narrow ledges.
