Manual vs. Automatic

Personally I only like a manual on a vehicle with some speed. The Jeep is too slow for me to enjoy a manual especially since it's also my daily. The only reason I like a manual is because I really feel attached to the car and the road, which is all much more fun when you have some real HP. I also generally just prefer auto on the dirt and manuals on pavement

It's a hard topic. I had an 85 Toyota truck with a manual. Loved it, although working the clutch off road got old at times. It's fun and all but as I get older an automatic seems more of the route for me. Still not an easy choice though.

I know that some of Maybe even most will disagree with me but an auto 2 door jeep, what I have, is blasphemy. It is my dd and yes it can get old at times in traffic but it is what it is. I just get bored driving an auto.

At the risk of sounding like I'm trying to kill this thread, and I'm not, you can wheel effectively and have fun with both. Just requires different style of driving.

That is very valid. It's just like Coke or Pepsi or even Tab.... every one is different.

I think I paid 1,200 for both diffs re geared.
I did 4.56's in my last JK on 35's (6 speed manual w/ 3.6 - 2 door)
My current rig is a 4 door 3.6 on 37's (6 speed) and I've got 4.88's in it... but I'll be jumping to 5.13's next month with my new axles, the 4.88's left something to be wanted.
Use the search bar, as well as google, there is a ton of opinions out there.
