Also if you drive around in lo range on the road it will seem like your flying along too because you revs go up so quick. I did this with no muffler on and it sounded like a WRX taking off exacpt I was only got upto about 75km hours with 6 gear changes between there and 0 :P

Hehehe

So what happens in low range. Does the front axle gearing change as well or do you have front high & rear low?
Wouldnt that make the centre diff spin like crazy?

Nah, it changes to a different gear in the box so everything is the same front & rear.
