dude i started stock just like everyone else .. yes its nice to have the winch and the lift and lockers but .. i do recall your jeep says trail rated on the side as long as you have the hooks and a tow rope ready to go .most people dont mind giving you a tug ..

and best thing is to watch your lines dont jump in the biggest hole theres bi passes around 99% of the bad stuff

first time i went out was with 2 other stock jeeps and an xterra no winches just a few tow ropes and we all had a blast

Joker, I think you'd be fine. Last year my jeep was very stock, only "mod" I had was 31" tires. I just went around the obstacles that it was obvious I wouldn't make it through. That's what the bypasses are for.

Just like Rubi03jef says, as long as your somewhat prepared no one minds helping you out. Hell, its usually the highly modded jeeps that hold things up getting stuck!!

Also, learning to drive your stock jeep threw some trails, will teach you what your jeep can do, making you a much safer and better driver in the future.

I would come out with you guys, but i already have plans that weekend. But i've made it just about everywhere in mclean creek with my stock rubicon. And thats without me disconnecting the sway bar. (the E-disco button is to far from my finger  :P) And any place I got stuck, there was ALWAYS someone to pull me out.

ya i only hesitate because my experiance is 4 trail runs, and i just dont like the feeling of assuming some one will pull you out lol. also when i went out i got stuck like 3 times in 30 min because of deep snow and i just feel stupid asking for a pull again... lol. But i guess i might have to come see what i can do.

Im probably in for this.  Dont worry, no one leaves anyone behind on the trail.  I broke my axle on the Falls run and everyone made sure I got out to the tow truck ok.

Don't compare summer dry trail to winter trail. The easiest summer trail, can become the hardest winter trail, and the hardest summer trail can become impossible in the winter.

I think you would be surprise what your jeep can get threw in the summer.
