Never been rock crawling... seriously. Just for a bit in a Toyota 4x4. It was fun. Kind of scary when one tire is 3 or 4 feet off the ground. I'd want a serious cage and maybe some arm straps even.
Most people who drive a stick with stock gearing ride the clutch when rock crawling. I don't happen to be one of those people. I just let the truck stall and then start it back up again. I put about 50,000 miles on my Toyota driving in traffic, four wheelin and prerunning and when I pulled the trans out the clutch still had about 70% left.
