Two schools of thought on off pavement driving Use the least assistance possible, or turn everything on at the beginning. I myself am a "Least guy". I'll run 2H until I perceive the need for 4H, then either lock the diff or 4L or vise-versa depending on the terrain. I did it this way in my semi, so that if I got into trouble (normal rear drive axle powered only), then engage the power divider (both drive axles) to get out of a minor predicament. Known muddy or deep sand lots, I could lock both drives as a final action, before calling the big tow and spend $700 getting pulled out of hub deep sand. The reasoning is that it is better to lose a little bit of traction at first then add more traction as needed.
On the Ranger the diff lock comes and goes depending on speed and 2H/4H/4L selection and/or if you have the TM engaged:
