That came off sort of wrong sounding...

Oh well...

I just got myself an '08 X, it's standard so I'm looking to go out on some beginner trails and find out what mods I will eventually want.

Can anybody recommend some parks where I'm unlikely to get stuck?
I have no off road friends at the moment so I am terrified of getting stuck

Any help or recommendations of parks would be fantastic

Thanks!

 

Sounds great! If you know anyone coming up to LA I'd love to hear about it!
I think I'll be available on Sunday!

 

I posted this a few days ago. Have a look.

Sounds good!
I'm in Tujunga so I'm not too far away from you. I could meet you before or at the trail.

 

Thanks Toad, I'll keep you posted if I can make it out.

The original post says that the trail is "moderate", as a total beginner I'm unsure what that means to me! If I can get through with zero experience and a stock JK I'd love to join you!

Many thanks!

 

That makes me very happy! I've seen some awful attitudes on other forums and it's a little scary when you're new!
All I have to do is get the approval from the missus and I'll be good to go

 

Just let me know when and where. I'm not too far out from Porter Ranch so it would be great to meet everyone!

 

Hi and welcome. yomondo was posting that he is going out on a newbie run with his newbie friend check out this link too:

Welcome aboard!

As someone who's barely past noob status, I can vouch for the folks here that they/we are very newbie friendly. I started off very stock and went on several runs with folks and was never pressured to do anything that I wasn't ready for.

I think somone mentioned it, but Cleghorn next weekend is a real good newbie run. It's an easy trail that is crisscrossed by a more difficult trail. I did it stock, even most of the hard parts! Your Jeep is very capable.

Hope to see you out there!

 

I know what you mean. I've seen some of those "other forums". I think you'll like it here. Everyone here's really great. Hope to see you at the meet & greet or on the trail soon.
