New Member / Jeep Owner - And Question
Hi all. New member here. In March I traded in my caddy for a new JK. I haven't looked back since. It's a blast looking at and trying to decide what to do with it considering all of the options available.
Anyway, I've already put in the seat heaters. Replaced the stock speakers with Polks as well as added an amp and subwoofer (the last 2 come from my caddy). I stuck on 18" Ultras, Black with a machined lip, and wider tires, General Grabber AT2s. Then a couple of weeks ago I had the Daystar 3/4" lift put in. I only did the 3/4" since this is my daily dirver and my 2 and 4 year old like to climb in themselves. Any taller and they wouldn't be able to, besides this gives me an excuse to keep lifting it as they get taller.
Next I am looking at performance upgrades like a CAI and exhaust. And then I'm debating between a new front bumber with winch or just throwing on a pre-runner bar and lights for awhile.
So, I was thinking about doing some light trails over the long weekend. What are your recommendations for trails in the Seattle vicinity that are relativley easy for a stock/lightly modified JK?
Thanks, Matthew.

Welcome to the NorthWest Area of the JK-Forum. I was new here myself about a year ago and everyone I have met through here has been extremely helpful.
From everything I have heard Tahuya is a good place to start in your neck of the woods. I would like to go there soon, but not today -- I started a fender chop this weekend and am not too happy with the result so far, so things are kind of in pieces at the moment
ASuperHero,
One day, we need to hook up and wheel together. Have fun out there this afternoon.
