So I took my JL out today, for the first time no less, to a local abandoned development which is not posted & has been wheeled by locals for years. There were 2 lifted F-150s doing donuts in a muddy lower part so I scambled up a step incline to access some power line trails & another spot. Both trucks stopped to watch as inched up in 4-lo, connected the fronts & punched it up. Mind you I’m in a stock Sahara with all-terrains & it’s was super easy & comfortable! My 3 year old son was in back and we had fun bouncing around on the trails and rocks on my Jeeps first outing.
Here’s my question for the team: my 2010 JK had the 4 speed auto. Whenever I took it out, I let it do the work & given the limited choices it was generally ok. Now I have the 8 speed & I feel like it was behaving correctly because I was in 4-lo (not acting like we were on the highway) but should I have it in manual and be selective? What are everyone’s feelings or experiences here?
