I gotta be the devils advocate....damage, just plain sucks, in any form

Buuuut....

With that in mind.....check out 17th Side Road.

Go slow, its not a race, enjoy the trail and what is has to offer, and don't go alone.

17th side road is a legal, yet sensitive, trail.

Myself and Big D have worked long hard hours with a variety of agencies to ensure it is still useable.

I'll PM you directions, its in Milton.

Not going alone might be a problem, considering I don't know anyone else with a jeep

But maybe one weekend we could meet up!

And yes I am worried for Damage.

Small scratches in your paint (in clear) often refered to as pin stripes can almost always be buffed out.

Your Jeep is designed to take a little offroad abuse but as Zeero said we are proponents of safe wheeling with an emphasis on the least possible damage.

Our trucks have been on a lot of trails with various situations. When washed and buffed, it is very hard to tell that they were ever offroad.

It's one thing to take a $5000 TJ on a rough trail, and quite another with a brand new $30K truck.

So yes, do expect some scratches (sometimes none) but other than that you should be fine, as long as you don't do anything stupid.

And as always, NEVER GO ALONE. It's not always a guarantee that you'll make it home in your truck, but it is always a lot safer.

We always have a convoy of 2-3 trucks. Always.
So stay safe, go withsome one that knows the trail and you'll be fine.
