:welcome: Welcome to the club Daz.

I would say just get some mud tyers on it if you havent already, and take it for a play to see how you get on. Dont worry to much about getting stuck it all part of the fun.......i think.

And dont forget to get some pics up :snap:

Hi daz...welcome to the forum...you've got the mud boots so...go play! Find your local pay n play(just type up 4x4 pay n play) on google maps and you can see what ur little baby can do.

equipment...you really would want a tow rope.... Kinetic preferably...you can pick these up on ebay easily enough and a basic tool kit.

keep your thumbs on the outside of your wheel while off roading...the steering can snatch spinnin the wheel and bruising/breakin your thumb/s. Make sure there's always someone there with you in case you get into trouble. Just start slow...get the feel of your sj and the terrain your tackling and progress as you see fit...and if says winchs only and you have no winch...best to stay away from that area...Any kit your carrying is best to be secured just in case you roll or tip over... it might just save a head ache from a loose object
People are mostly friendly at sights and will come to your rescue so feel free to help those who may need it...most sight's will have recovery vehicles to help you but some charge for this service. Look before you leap...if you see a puddle....beware it may be deceiving...check depth before entering it may just save your engine!
Hope this helps 8-)

O and dont 4get those pic's :lol: :lol:
