just wondering, what are you newer (to the forum at least) guys running for tires, lift, mods etc?

for me 30" All Seasons atm, just got the jeep 2 weeks ago :) over about 10% tread wear. Full sized spare except it doesn't match and its around the 50% wear mark.
No lift no mods yet. but I'm open to suggestions

Start wheeling it and build as the budget will allow.
The usual pattern is lift and tiers, brake stuff -upgrade it ;), lockers, brake stuff :o - up grade it. and along the way you will do a cage up grade, tube fenders, On board air. remembor This is an addiction.  ;D
Why does your Jeep say Toyota on it?
The obstacle is the path.

I've got a XJ with 31" all terrain t/a's, 3 1/2" lift, and that's about it for the time being.

i was out there this sunday and it was as muddy as last spring

I saw lots of Jeeps out there later in the day. What were you driving?  I probably saw you.
I was in a jean jacket, black helmet on the yellow/grey Bombardier quad. :P

Hi everyone.  My Jeep meets the minimums (except CB - working on that, and no winch).

However I haven't been off-road in years (and that was in the army).  I'm wondering if I might get some value out of riding shotgun with someone who is willing to explain why's and why not's on the trail before I take the wheel myself.

What would you all recommend? and would anyone be willing to take me as shotgun?

This open run will be stocker

You'll be fine driving on a stocker run.  Nothing that you didn't put an M38A1 or Iltis through (I'm assuming an Iltis).  But there's nothing wrong with riding shotgun to get experience.

There is nothing like hands on experience, take your rig .  The trail guides are excelent tuck in behind the leader and do as they do.

You would be good to bring your stocker on this run but if you really feel you would like to run shotgun I will have a seat for you. What part of city are you in

Yup...  a ride with Slim should teach you plenty in one day.
