Got my new JK in June and haven't had it out on the trails yet. She is still all stock and no cb. Could I tag along with you guys, or are the trails not newbie friendly?

If I end up getting this weekend off, I wouldn't mind doing some stock ish friendly trails.  What kind of JK did you get? .. Tires are the most important?

as it is posted above you WILL NEED tow points for sure .

mclean is normaly a mud pit and the last thing anyone wants to do is be looking for somewhere strong to hook to

and have your own tow straps

I have a 2010 JK Sport 2dr. It has the stock (2) tow hooks in front and (1) hook in back. I still have the stock Goodyear all season tires. I will pick up some tow straps and other gear this Friday.

Yes with tow hooks and straps you we can pull you through just about anything, if your willing


 This isn't going to be the greatest Beginners run. Expect mud, rocks, hills, and tight squeezes. Most obstacles have bypasses which  is why I am  confident even a 4 door JK will make it under its own power. Should be a challenge, it could very will push comfort zones, But should be doable. I'd remove my sidesteps if you intend on running trails

treees and rocks can jump out of anywhere and grab the side of your pretty new JK's  hahaha

Yeah, my JK has some nasty scratches.  Had some dented fenders from some trees, which actually popped right back in about an hour.  So expect some paint damage.. pretty minor.  All will buff out.. if you really wanted to.

Well worth the fun though!
