How do i? Total newb question
 
Ok so I have a 5 speed in my jeep. 1st time having a 4x4 with a manual trans. Took her out today and tried to climb a little drop off about as tall as my hood. I'm on 31s with a 3.5" lift. Got up it the second try still trying to figure out the gas clutch combo that works. Well got up it but I slipped the clutch too much and smoke poured from under the jeep. Clutch still works ok. Any tips on how to avoid this ? I had it in 4hi. Pretty sure it was working the light was on. Sorry I'm a total newb here at all of this. Just not off roading or working on cars

use 4lo

it crawls you up the hill

get in N, move tcase to 4lo, put shifter in 1st gear, foot off the clutch and crawl

Ok I thought of that but everyone I meet says you don't need to use 4 low in jeeps. Must e blowing smoke
