I think this is a good idea for a thread? Some of it may be general knowledge, but everyone can contribute and learn from this thread, im sure. My first question is- slow crawling without burning the clutch, or rolling backwards?

only use 4 lo to get out of a bad situation. 2wd till you need 4. booze is for after you wheel/drive. the big rubber things go on the ground. DON'T LITTER ON THE TRAIL. pick up the trash the idiots left. Help out your fellow recreationist. And if you lift your jeep then the fat ones cant get in.
