    I found a small hole in the frame near a brake line clamp, just about in line with the gap between cab and bed. Tapped that and put a small bolt into it to hold a crimp on connector on the end of my ground strap.

    Everett moved my truck when we were waiting on getting Cody's truck unstuck at RRG on June 25. He seemed surprized to find mine in 4lo. I pretty much just leave mine there when off road. Less stress on everything. Even with an automatic....

    Helps brakes live longer on downhills too.

    I found having an automatic on the trails suits me much better.

    Back in the day I thought a 4wd just had to be a manual tranny. Then I bought a '77 Bronco with an auto. If you have adequate tranny cooling, auto is a tough act to beat.

    Agreed. Bought the manual because I like to drive one. Didn't have the intention of wheeling it when I bought it. My next wheelers will be auto

    Now, we just need to figure out Clutch Start Cancel lol

    I have no clue how to use that button!
    I like it more times than I hate it. But shifting gears again, hasn't gotten old, yet.
    Whenever!

    Clutch start cancel allows the starter to lurch the truck forward instead of starting the truck. Supposed to help you get unstuck. Similar to a manual crawl control but with out the brake assist I guess?
