Does anyone else think traildamage rates Chinaman Gulch too easy, and Hidden Valley way too hard (even before they graded it flat)?
If u wanna jump out of ur jeep o a steep hill, u have to leave it I gear and shut it off. Also helps with rolling backwards before u let out the clutch

I just need practice. It would be nice to be able to use the handbrake to hold the jeep in place while i juggle with the clutch and gas, but since the ebrake does nothing i have to hold the jeep in place with the clutch, which is tricky.

That's what hand throttles are for. Also thats what makes a manual fun when wheeling.

With 5.6:1 1st and 4:1 low, mine doesn't roll anywhere.

I figured it out... Autos have a Park setting! I completely forgot about that.

Have you tried adjusting your hand brake?
