Yes. Some prefer it.Can you go off-road with an automatic transmission?
Don't lie to him!
He's messing with you.
Jeeps with automatics are for the mall and taking kids to school only.
Do not attempt to off-road with it.
Especially if it has round headlights and coil springs. Failure will occur.
So does my wife. ;pI am loving my new Auto trans.
Bahahahahaha I honestly didn't see that one coming.She love my new auto?![]()
I know your messing around, but you can never out shift an automatic. For Drag racing an automatic is a better option (if setup right). Consistent, and alway putting power down. However for me personally I still drive manuals. Even my toy drag/street car was a stick. I like that control.Auto transmissions are for lazy Jeepers. Just like round headlights are for crazy Jeepers.
Cars have automatic transmissions. Jeeps have manual transmissions. Well, real Jeeps do. Would you buy a motorcycle with an automatic transmission? How about a race vehicle? Steet rod?
Actually, for the record, I don't care. I just like to smoke, er uh, I meant stir the pot.
Ohh yeah!! It's a fun place to hangout. But the seating is limited on our short bus.You folks are wierd...good info, though...thanks
I never take mine off.Don't forget your helmet.
Doesn't it get in the way of licking the windows?I never take mine off.
Nope. Made outta tinfoil.Doesn't it get in the way of licking the windows?
I have mixed emotions about manual/auto in Jeeps. It seems like an auto would be good, but it doesn't look like the throttle control is as finite as a clutch and gas option. You can't bring the rpm's up and use the clutch to apply just the right amount of power with an auto. You can use the brake and drive the torque up I understand, but brakes aren't as sensitive as a clutch IMO.I know your messing around, but you can never out shift an automatic.

I off road with my Avalanche (auto) pretty often. Just last weekend I did quite a bit in Arizona. (I missed my Jeep but there were six of us). It just wasn't the same with the auto. I didn't feel I had the same control like I do in my Wrangler.
I'm old school I know. I'm sure you get used to the auto and deal with it's advantages/disadvantages. I just have a lot more experience with the manual while off roading for the last fifty years.
And yes, I was messing around.
