Took the jeep out. Things got a little tricky.
Happy we made it home considering I leaned my jeep against a wall while both front wheels were off the ground (was able to reverse out without destroying my jeep. The worst part is that three dudes told me to take that line when my brain knew the right side of the rock was the better line. I should not have listened to them. After I backed off they said "yea man I've only seen four jeeps make it on the left and three were 4 doors and the other was a modified setup"...thanks for telling me afterward (lesson learned).
Later in the evening, I realized (to my surprise) that my new Mopar ATF+4 transmission fluid was boiling while I checked codes and inspected things after the transmission went into limp mode. The engine and engine coolant were good to go. But my transmission got so hot that it charred my dipstick (never seen anything like that before).
Thankfully, we made it back to the pavement and the jeep drove just fine on the road (air-cooled). Need to purchase a remanufactured transmission asap (likely from Bullripper) and get the better external cooler installed when I visit Blaine.
