Work at amazon. They will hire you so long as you go to work on time. I worked there for a year in logistics until I graduated with my degree. I watched them hire 1000s of people.

Not a bad first job. My first job was Walgreens during my first year of college.

By header panel do you mean the panel where the wipers bolt up behind the hood?

Yea i have a clutch now with the granny granny dana 300 and in 4 lo i have a time on a steep hill not rolling backwards half an inch, which is all it takes in 4 wheelinh to destroy your rig. Yes Dave yer yota had a double marlin which means stupid granny low low what was the ratio 257:1. Out of the box aw-4 will beat any out of the box 5 speed, 4 speed, 3 speed. U put money into the clutch or double your tcase, then yea u got a rig that can compete with a aw-4. Still 3 pedals on a large incline is complicated compared to a 2 pedal auto. After all we only have 2 feet. Tho the strength and longetivity of a manual compared to a auto is not even in the same ballpark. I prefer manual, its a lot more fun and better mpgs, but wheeling unless u got an open checkbook autos rule, in my opinion.

I understand your point, but i believe they both have their places. Yes, autos are easier to wheel with, however a manual gives you more control over how and when power is given to the wheels. So its a draw at ease or control. A comp clutch takes a lot of complication out of use offroad because it allows you to feather the clutch and essentially use the balancing of the clutch and gas as a brake, however with a stock clutch you increase the risk of burning it up doing that..

They've both got their ups and downs IMO.
But i get what you're saying.

A carbureted stick is really a *****! Ask me how I know... Haha! Get that crawler I had on a big incline and you best feather the hell out of the clutch.

Turns out I may not end up getting the fenders done.. Looks like my metallic paint is next to impossible to match up without blending the whole hood and doors.

I may order a Keystone Premium (guaranteed fitment) and get it paint matched and sell this ebay Piece of **** I have..
