I'm new to these forums and to the jeep realms. So I am looking for some upgrades for light trails and wanted to get your opinions. The trails I drive in consist of some small downed trees and medium water passages for the most part. So let me know what you guys think I need or don't need.

Good tow points
Good protection, skids etc
Good tires
then lifts etc
Several lists have been made over the years of what people think they need

 

[Hedsic]

A full recovery bag with straps
A first aid kit
CB and Cell Phone ...

Beef jerky. You may as well just sign up for one of those beef jerky of the month clubs. You will want to take your KJ on the trail so often, you will need a fresh monthly supply of Jerky.

For light trail just protect the undercarriage and get some all terrain tires for some rougher trails lift it up get some skids cb frequently change you dif fluids and tranfer case fluid i did this run on a wet sandy trail in michigan meant for ATVs i did it in 2wd

I forgot to mention the beef jerky what was i thinking no but for real recovery gear is a necessity even if its just tow straps and heavy duty ratchet straps you will be happy you have it when it comes time to use it

Welcome.


All good suggestions. As mentioned you need to be properly equipped.


One thing that is real important is to not be alone on the trail. If there is another jeep on the trail with you and someone gets stuck and needs a tow to get out of a mud-hole or something, there is another trail-buddy and jeep to tow you out so you don't have to hike a couple of miles to get help. Don't ask how I know this.

Dave best advice yet anytime i went off road i was alone and its not as much fun because you are always holding yourself back thats why i use 2wd to start cause if i get stuck 4wd will get me out and back home but when you are with friends get stuck and get out keep on jeeping
