    Stick,

    It's a three speed actually.
    A lot of people out at Calico kept trying to convince me that automatic was the way to go... but I like standard.

                automatic for hardcore rocks without having to spend $10,000 in driveline components to achieve a capable rig.
                03 TJ. It'll go 65mph...can't complain.

                  I know for a fact that stabbing my clutch has saved me from rolling on several occasions.
                  I have wheeled both, and I do not have a preference.
                  It's not what you have. it's what you do with what you have.

                    I drive a manual...and auto's aren't too bad in the Mud if you know to take it out of drive and put it in 1st or 2nd. In the rocks...eh, you'll wear out a clutch with a manual trying to keep a crawling speed.

                      stick :wrench:

                      autos are prob easier on the rocks, but if I wanted easy I'd stay on the pavement

                          got a stick now and a auto in the garage ready to go in. The three speed stick is trash!
