Howdy everyone! The other night my father and myself were out to eat and we started chatting about out jeeps. He has a 2001 Manual SE and I have a 1999 Automatic Sport. The conversation went on to talk about which we think is better for off-roading, the manual or the automatic. I was pretty adamant on the Automatic being better because of the low-end torque and more control you have. Though he seems to stand on his ground that a manual is better. What are your thoughts on the automatic vs manual for off-roading?
 
From a performance standpoint automatic. I personally think manuals are a lot more fun, but I’m not enough of a hardcore wheeler to care. If I was I’d ditch the manual in a second.

No way! Manuals are pure trash, they should all be scrapped and recycled to make more Automatics and parts for automatics......

And I can easily imagine where the auto can do things and go places a manual can't.

I've never seen it. The more accurate statement is you can go lots of places with a stock auto that a stock manual will struggle heavily on. With enough money thrown at the manual, that ceases to be true.

Minimum 5-1 gearing, 6-1 is better. That's about 3500 all in.
