agreed
besides, crawl ratio is something web wheelers get all warm and fuzzy about |

Re: Crawl Ratio??
Same here! I regret getting a manual transmission for four wheeling. My last truck was an auto and was a lot better!!

Re: Crawl Ratio??
No no no. Don't fret. I rode along with " 4-lo" (I dunno if that is his name here or not) in Tellico. He had a Yota pick-up manual and it was sweet.
There are a lot of things you can do with it that help you tailor the tranny. It really crawls in 1st. He taught me some moves with his shifter (  ) when turning and maneuvering around, it was a lot of work but pretty darn cool.
There are manual techniques that are to your advantage. You just have to stay off the clutch. Plus they are easier to fix etc. Maybe you could check it out or pm him and ask.
