There are Jeep groups around Boise for sure - I don't know about Mtn. Home. Check out
http://www.buildyour4x4.com/ and their forum. My son is involved with that bunch and they seem to just have too much fun. Lots of group trail rides.
BTW, going with a group is the way to go on the rougher trails
. If you get into a bind, need a spare part, second jack, longer cable, etc. somebody can help you out.
The
http://www.buildyour4x4.com/ store caters to older fullsize Jeeps, but sometimes you can find some good deals on generic stuff there.
