Default Hand throttle for jk?

Anyone have any thoughts and opinion on a hand throttle for the jk? Is it worth it? Useful? Drawbacks? Thanks for the inputs in advance!

Wayoflife posted a flybywire hand-throttle thread a while back...I think ...anyway as a 6spd user I'd think it would be nice, but I'm used to playing clutch/brake/throttle...my wife hates it on inclines and wants an auto but it's just a matter of getting used to it pretty much.

Yeah. I love my 6speed. Wouldn't give it up. Would be a "nice to have" though. I'll search for that thread. Thanks!

I have one. The preset RPM is finicky -- actually the JK is finicky. The same voltage on the pedal will give different results depending on the engine temp, load, etc. The wired remote to control the RPMs works fairly well though.
