How do you shut it off and restart it without the clutch. The clutch has to be depressed in order to start the truck?

Since mud is pretty much all i got here.. 3years of owning my jeep and i never burned the clutch... Like he said^^ wheel in 4 low.. When u get stuck in deep mud/water and ur tranny is in it, shut it off change gear and start it.. Practice on gravel you'll see what it does.. My rubi, 4low, 3rd gear, im going everywhere!

Mud is very hard on the Jeep. Not just clutch, but U-joints, axle shafts, unit bearings, axle seals, brake pads, rotors are all being eaten up. I've been through all of it and seen the damage it causes.

It works. Just have to remember not to depress the clutch.

Especially useful on very steep hills.
