I would put it in ESP low start with 1st and work my way throw the gears. You can shift it with out getting off the gas.

watch the speed of the racers in front of you and if they are going slower than your wide open speed in low is keep it in low. Id keep it in low and automatic mode so you dont have to worry about shifting.

I would depend on the mud condition. If it's a big watery mud hole I would go with just esp and shift into the highest gear she can handle. If it's thick just go with esp low and again shift to the highest gear she will handle. Leave the auto for trail riding. With the rubicon there's no need to let off the throttle to shift, just push the button.
