Right on the buzzkill, 4Lo will keep trans cooler in low speed driving.
Starting on 2 in 4Lo will allow vehicle to go about 20 before it shifts to 3rd but I never drive that fast off-road when I need 4Lo, so I'm always in 2.
Try taking off from 0 in 4Lo in first gear, when you hit about 10 you'll see what I mean about the hard 1-2 shift and probably won't like it. I only use 4Lo in sand or crawling slowly uphills in rocky terrain the rest of the time she's in 4Hi with center diff locked (really helps on deep mud and snow/ice).
