Title: Hitting the Trails... With Minor Upgrades.....(?)
Post by: tzettler on October 14, 2012, 09:05:19 PM

Hey guys, so I've a 2010 JK 2dr, with a Warn Rock Crawler front bumper, Warn M8000 winch, and some 33x12.5x15 Duratracs miunted on Pro Comp Series 52 15x8-3.75"BS wheels... I do not plan on going major rock crawling or anything as of yet but would like to hit a trail somewhere and get some mud (and soon snow) all over... Is this a good enough starting point, as I know it's recommended to have a lift and suspension, but that is not feasible right now, I just want to make sure I won't screw up my ride apart from any personal mistakes lol thanks guys!

get yourself a kinetic recovery strap. Not the tow straps you find at canadian tire.. but an actual elastic recovery strap. Then you will be set ;)

The winch is great but often better used as a last resort. A kinetic strap can be used to pull you out forwards or backwards so long as you have proper recovery points and a buddy on the trails with you :)
