The theory behind the rolling start burnout is great!! But not an option for an underpowered/over-tractioned jeep! You are way more likely to stall it and look like an ass than to provide a positive burnout experience. It doesn't have enough bottomend power to break the tires loose after rolling like that.

Actually, with an auto and some horsepower it works the same as in the old days. Turn the ESP off, foot on brake enough to hold it, give it some throttle. You could sit in one place until the tires blow if so inclined.

Then, after that expensive journey back to feeling like a kid again, you can shop for new tires (and rear brake pads) in the adult world.

not sure the need to do a burn out in a jeep. Definetly hard on the drive line and tire wear.

is it bad to do? If your on a high traction surface probably.

If i do a burn out i wait for mud/gravel or oil slicked parking lots (when it first rains and its slick) You can get a good burn out then without the ESP. with stock 3.73 gears on 35" DC Crushers i was able to smoke them once. i wouldnt do it all the time only when i get the itch to do something young and foolish. I only droped the clutch once and i wont do it again it smelled horrible of burning clutch plate.

Im kind of shocked. I thought the only way a JK could do a burn out is uphill in mud.

My logic is if there is a, "Hey ya'll watch this" or it looks cool, it's probably not good!

its a jeep not a mustang... so my question is why would you want to do a burnout?

EzK

On a dirt road? Psh, you're fine. 4k is completely unnecessary and a bit fast though to crack them loose.

The_Yeti

because i dont own a mustang and have to get my kicks somewhere

stupid all time hydrostatic transfercase in the V8 Grand Cherokee wont let me burn out

That what scares me about buying a used Jeep
