Opinions for Off-Roading Automatic or Manual

[Krawler00]

looks like they have no applications for the JK... only the TJ.  I still have the OEM clutch in my rig and I find it does allow for quite a bit of slippage. Which helps you hang on the clutch with no brakes.

I thought the JK computer held brakes on a hill in 4 low while you let out the clutch.  Know how that works?

The "Hill Assist" is on the '09 & up. Mine is an '08. But how it works, I assume like my Prius, you mash the brakes to the floor and hold it for a second and the computer acts like a line lock holding the brakes until you move. I'm not too sure how that would work when crawling as you want the brakes and gas at the same time to limit speed. That is one of the things I like about the Rubi gearing, I can dump the clutch and limit my speed with the brakes. In stock forum the Rubi has a 73.1:1 crawl ratio compared to the non-rubi 38.9:1 crawl ratio.

I ended up going with an Automatic. Really was getting tired of shifting gears driving around for work.

Ben, you can laugh all you want.. It's was my choice of a company car and it gets ~43mpg with me driving it "digital".  But hey...  WTF did I just compare a Jeep to a Prius?
