I'm new to offroading (the only thing close to this that I've done are dirt bikes). I have a 2016 Silver JK, haven't made any mods yet. This is my only car so I'm not feeling too courageous at the moment, but definitely want to hit up some trails.
And, yes.. I did have a wrangler before this one... (RIP )
Welcome! I've wheeled my jeep as a daily driver before, and after I sell my car today, I'll be back to driving it daily again. Best thing you can do with a daily driver jeep is to install protection. Because its a smaller jeep, if you take it off road, you will be much more likely to drag it over a whole lot more. Protect the important bits like the EVAP system, oil pan, gas tank and rockers. You do that first and you won't feel as bad when you get into the trickier situations.
