Have to love the 4:1

Finally got to go wheeling this weekend and had a blast. This was my first time out with my "NEW" Jeep and I say new, cause after the 4:1 it is nothing like the one I have been wheeling for the last 3 years. For most of the day, I honestly felt like I was driving an automatic due to the fact I rarely had to touch the clutch to manage my speed. And there is nothing like not needing to touch the skinny pedal when climbing a hill, due to your crawl rate. There was one area that was once referred to a camel back, however has been converted into a side to side "don't scrape the side of your jeep on the rocks" obstacle. I was the only one "not" on 35's and crawled thru it the rear bumper just slightly kissing a rock when exiting the obstacle, due to the fact I had so much more control b/c of my crawl rate.
The point I am trying to drive home is... the 4:1 is money well spent (something that I would invest in before ever thinking about a trailer cough cough... jeff)
