Wheel stock until you figure out what you like and where you need to make changes on your rig.

This is good advice.it may take a lil time but you'll see if you need armor mud tires sliders etc.if you won't ever see rocks or just small rocks then you can save some money

Bumpers or hooks and a hitch for recovery. Besides that, the number one rule is never wheel alone. Even if you could afford to leave your Jeep stuck and walk home, you could get hurt without help.

I agree don't go alone, I have on numerous occasions and its been sketchy every time. I have gotten stuck a couple times and it sucks! Got out both times though. If you ever do go alone, pack for a trip! Lol

When I go by myself I make a day trip out of it. Hiking in the morning then drive to the ORV park an hour and a half away and do some light wheeling. If anything did happen I have my phone lol
