Generally, offroad, I'd leave it in 2nd low unless you are on a steep decent, then 1st low. Think there's a funny thing with the Jeep auto where you have to be stopped before locking it into first otherwise it stays in second or something. can make an interesting decent... :) sure someone else will add some Valuable comments soon :twisted:

Stew,
 IIRC at Ribbo last year i was in 2 lo most of the time, like ed says apart from steep descents. I was switching manually between 1 an 2 lo some of the time but I didnt have the thing the XJs have with havin to lock into 1 lo and there was nowhere flat enough to get into D.
It wasnt very muddy where i went tho  :roll:
