Ok so my Jeep is pretty modified, but this happened even when it was brand new and stock...

You'll be in 1st gear going pretty slow, I don't think it's ever happened in second, just first.

Definitely happens more often on the trails in 4 low

Does my idle speed need to be raised?

Driving habits perhaps. Just one of those things driving a manual, going slow and giving it just the right amount of gas and clutch?

I hear you but it happens when the vehicle is underway, I've driven a manual since I was 17 plus it never happened with my other Jeep's

I wanted to see if anyone else had ever encountered this

Are you saying that if you were in a parking lot in first gear and 4 low, got moving and kept your foot off everything, it may stall at some point crossing the lot?

I have a manual trans and 40s with a Rubi t-case. In 1st and 4 low, it will crawl rocks with no gas without stalling.

What t case do you have? My old 2.72:1 case was much more likely to stall, that I recall.
