The only way a manual would be acceptable to me in a JT would be if I could put it in 4-low and first gear and the engine would not bog/die in any circumstance. That said, I feel reverse gear in the 8A is waayy too high.
Katemcy is also very cool but they aren't open all the time like Wolf Caves. Subscribe to their news letter to see when they have events, well worth going, https://katemcyrocks.com/events/
The fine folks that run Wolf Caves are salt of the earth. Our first time there they looked at our rigs then...

Time to head home, party is over. Or is it? Spent the night at KOA in Amarillo. Met some really cool guys who were on their way to Alaska and the Arctic Circle. @Ferg suggested we hit Merus Adventure park. We hit the badge trail “Huckleberry” and camped on the rim of Palo Duro Canyon...
