Fun times. My pride is a little down from getting stuck but that just means more building and to take a lesson from the Pops school of driving.

I'm also pretty sure my driveshaft ujoint is about die.

Here are a few pics and some videos.

Pulling them out of this mud hole. Three rigs, including myself, got stuck and the Green 98 pulled all three out that day.





I really am thinking about 33s and some trimming. I'd like some 4.10s though.

I'll never live down not videoing that or even taking shots of it. It really was legendary. That rope and you being an auto really made the difference.

Once you get a few pulls under your belt with the 5 speed youll never want another automatic..

If there was a way to put one of my C6s under our Xjs I'd swap out in a heartbeat.

I know, I know. Even though I've been driving a manual since I was 15, I never really have wheeled with one until I bought this XJ. Practice makes perfect - my foot always wants to clutch.
