It's a great idea. I got autos and love em. I also got hip high boots for walking in the mud to hook up tow lines.
I deleted the rest because I was too sarcastic.

Ha then why dont you just get manuals since you get out with your tall a$$ boots???

That's cool, there's nothing wrong with prefering an alternative lifestyle.

Me, personally, I like for the truck to actually stay in 4WD when I *put* it in 4WD, but I'm funny about stuff like that.

I have a limited slip rear, that isn't worn out, and even in 2WD this bronc is the best snow car I ever had. I haven't taken it mudding but my son has, and he hasn't gotten stuck.. yet

I have really only had the opportunity to play with it once, and the truck is awesome. So far, with what we have done with it, the auto hubs stayed locked. I fully understand the post about why manuals are better, and I agree.

My comment that I love autos, was really meant to be facetious, hence the need for hip boots. It was an introductory sentence to a sarcastic paragraph that I deleted shortly after posting.

So I ask... if you want to KNOW that your truck is in 4WD when you put it in 4WD, what's the excitement in that? Live on the edge brother :blink:

Yup, once saw a guy grenade a Dana50 slamming the transfer case into 4-lo w/only 1 hub engaged. Had to have been a good 5mi along the trail up in the Green Mtns. I have no idea HOW the poor guy got it home. We had to winch him off the trail so we could pass on our way back down. It was a big F250 running 42" Swampers but he'd bought the truck as it was, hadn't built it himself. We got to talking to him & it turned out he didn't even *own a set of tools*. That's when we wished him the best & got back on the trail, I mean what do you say to someone after hearing something like that ? Give him a Craftsman sale flyer ?

See... now if he had gotten out of his rig, and locked BOTH hubs, you wouldn't have a story to tell. :-"

No tools... and auto hubs with 42 swampers?... What was he thinking?

Well, yeah. That was kinda the point. If you're NOT capable of building something like that, and you can't fix it either, maybe you should give some thought to driving it 5mi up the side of a mountain and screwing around with. I really don't know what to say, some guys just HAVE to learn things the hard way. Buy some tools & get a manual for Goodness sake. The poor guy just didn't know Jack about his truck and was at a complete loss to explain what had happened. I really DID feel bad for him as we sat there in the dwindling sunlight winching his wreck off the trail and trying to help him to understand what had happened. We offered to give him a ride down but he didn't want to leave his rig. What he thought the deer & antelope would do to it I don't know but we made the offer & just to feel OK about everything we even called a friend who's # he gave us when we got back down onto the road, but to this day I've always wondered how he got it home or if it's just some bullet riddled wreck still lying where we winched it.
