    I have always preferred manual transmissions and always thought I lost too much control in an auto. Rocket, you make a winning argument, and what can I say? I think you are right. If I could trade my 6MT for one of your autos right now I would. Trying to pick my way down a rough grade in 1st Lo last weekend, and having to release the clutch because I needed to go so slowly the engine would stall, I was thinking of your wise words brought to me through KZread across the oceans and continents... and again when I stalled and had to re-start climbing some rocks. It took a lot to change my mind on this one, but you've done it. Rocket, you are a legend! And now I have to eat a lot of crow...

I wish we had places here in Texas to do even half the adventures you all go on. Please, Keep the videos coming. Can you make a video on how you set your vehicles up for deep water? There are a lot of videos out there on doing the water crossing but nothing really about setting up your rig to make it through without damaging engines, electronics, etc. Thank you.

That shift controller is 800$ USD for the box and 700$ for the loom, yikes!!! but with their strong currency and job incomes, no wonder Rocket has done 350 conversions on new Landcruisers which cost 80,000$ + (basic interior) crazy crazy australia!

    I have a ‘94 80 bruiser, ( as an over lander ) and another car as an off roader ( Land Rover based, also auto) 4.2 diesel auto VX, running 285 75 BFG All Terrains, makes the speedo accurate. I have driven it in the Pyrenees, the Alps, Corsica Sardinia and Morocco, all conditions, mud sand and rock, with a standard auto box with a large extra oil cooler for the auto box. I now realise I want a tiptronic, better start saving. I have a tiptronic in another car, ( Mercedes ) and would have never thought about one for the the bruiser, this video has given me a lot to think about.
