Manual to Auto Trans Swap

I have a 5 speed manual right now been driving a stick for almost a year now. Was fun at first but when am in creek-beds and such i really wish i had a auto.So does my clutch lol.Just wondering if anyone has swapped a auto in and what trans options are there. Would be cool to do like a manual auto trans but have not seen that eater. Anyways i searched with no luck hope you guys can help me out.

There's a reason you haven't found such a swap

In low range 1st gear you are still riding the clutch? Double up your x-case would be a better move then auto swap if that is the only reason.

Auto swap

If this is your daily driver, don't do it. 22r/re's, or V6's are really lacking the power to enjoy an auto in a DD. Mine is not a DD and I love my auto, but I still added dual cases. The swap is really involved since you really need an entire wiring harness to control the auto as a DD. Did I mention I love mine.

i'm in the middle of doing an auto to manual swap on mine. Re-gear your rig and/or add another transcase... you will be MUCH happier.

I love my auto as well, but it's not a daily driver. Mind if I ask where you got the dual case adapter for your auto?
