New to area
Hello everyone,
I recently moved to the area and wanted to introduce myself. I use to own a CJ-7 and enjoyed wheeling it in AZ. I now own a 2011 2 dr Rubicon and would enjoying meeting up with people in the area. Since I am new to the area, i would be more comfortable going out with a group then by myself. Don't want to get lost.
I would also like your option on mods that are needed for the area.
I current have a 3" lift, and a winch. I would like to stay with the stock Rubicon tires.
Do I need skid plates, etc.? If so, who do you recommend?
Thanks, for the help.
Dave

Welcome Dave! We have a lot of great trails in the area. Since you have a Rubi, about all you need to get wheeling is an oil pan skid plate, differential covers and some rock rails. I run the Rancho oil pan skid, Riddler covers and Ace rock rails. Use the rock rails and diff covers a lot!
Keep an eye out in the Norcal section for runs. We are doing a 3 day Rubicon run with camping on July 9,10,11. But there will be a lot of others all summer in the Sierra.

Welcome!
There are many trails in the area for you to explore.
If you plan on stock tire size for your Rubicon, I would invest in underbody protection as your next upgrade. This would include additional protection for your gas tank and T-case in addition to some type of oil pan and front differential protection.
We just got back from a beginner Rubicon run last Saturday. Hopefully you you'll see some participants chime in with their experiences on the trail.

I have signed up for the Jeeper Jamboree at the end of July. Only problem is they are saying minimum 2 people per jeep. Since I just moved here, it is only me. Hopefully they will work around it. I have till July 1st to cancel with a full refund. So will see what happens.
