What is the best way to off-road in a manual TJ?

[Jack1947]

A thumb throttle and practice.

Can you tell me more about this thumb throttle?

Sorry, stupid question but exactly how do you "float" gears?

Match the engine rpm to the road speed for the desired gear. The transmission will fall right into gear without using the clutch.

You don't need a clutch to shift if you time the rpms correctly, pull the shifter out while the rpm's are high, wait for them to come down and it will slide right in...... with practice

Hi, just got my 2000 jeep sport a couple of weeks ago and wanted to ask what is the best way to offroad in a manual? Such as what gears to run and so on?

Thanks

Did anyone mention the best way is to ride along with your buddy that has an auto?

Absolutely. I'll never wheel another manual by choice.
