Default what to expect from my wrangler

I bought my first wrangler a few weeks back. I am trying to figure out what I should expect offroad. It appears to have a 2.5 inch rough country lift, springs and shocks were upgraded as well as the steering stabilizer. It has 33 inch mud terrains. Should I stick to the main trails or can she handle a lot as equipped?

I mean no offense when I say it will probably handle more than you can at first. It's what you're comfortable with, not your jeeps limitations.
PS. We love pics!
PPS. Welcome !

If you're new at offroading, it's going to be a learning curve for you. Joining a club and learning from others, or even better -- taking offroad classes if there's any in your region, will shorten the learning curve.
A stock Jeep can do more than main trails, and yours is modded.
I wouldn't add or change anything before gaining experience and forming the type of offroading that you like best. Then, you'll know what you want or need.

Default Thanks

I realize a lot of people probably ask that question but I figure it's easier to start a new thread. I had a stock wj previously. I was actually impressed by what it could do but it lacked tires and ground clearance. Is anyone from Ky.

Yep, check out CJKC on Facebook. Cincinnati JK Crew. I'm one of the members, although I haven't gotten to do much, it's a good page for advice and there are several experienced guys on there who are more than willing to help!
