lol this rig has seen plenty of hairy shit, i dont do any redneck mud bogging - its strictly a trail/rock rig
automatics make it way easier when your on a huge slippery ass rock at a 60 degree angle..true I could just finagle my way with a hand brake and manual but ive had enough rigs in my time(yj, tj and xj's) that were manual and with this one the deal was too good to pass up just because it wasnt a stick
this rig is also a dd and sitting in boston traffic almost everyday makes me want to kill myself in an automatic - I would probably quit going to work if I had to drive in that shit everyday with a stick
