Hello everyone. I'm new to the site. Great site by the way, tons on information. Anyways, I'm just getting into off-roading and I've had the KJ for about three months now (still stock besides the skid plates and the roof rack).

Well yesterday, I got it stuck for the first time. Just reinforces my need for a lift, better tires and a winch (I'm sure I will "need" more improvements in the future).

Anyways, here are two pictures of my stuck KJ (I'm sure I would've made it with a lift and better tires :-)r ). And of course better driving skills (I'm still learning).

There are a bunch of trials around here. This one is pretty much in my back yard (nice fun little trial to drive after work)

Man I wish I could make it today. Let me know next time you guys are getting together and I will definitely make it. Sounds like a lot of fun. Hopefully by then I will be :frankie: lifted...

Haha, oops. We all learn some things the hard way.

I got stuck on a trail in the Domeland wilderness area recently and learned the hard way I needed tow points! Luckily a quick push from 2 friends was all I needed to get out. My Libby now has front tow hooks and a rear hitch with a D-ring insert in case I get stuck someplace worse next time.

It's great to see some other LOST users near me (Ridgecrest). I've done a ton of wheeling around here. We should get a group trip together sometime.
