Hi guys,
I bought my first Jeep a 2015 Rubicon Hard Rock Unlimited a few weeks ago. Time for mods and some fun on the trails. Hope to meet up with a few of you guys at the next event. Any advise for a first time owner?

Welcome to the group.
I would def recommend spending some time looking around and seeing what you like. Im sure you will be able to get some more direct advice to your JK from plenty of folks here.
I have read that they are working on an off road park down in the Sturbridge area which will be nice for those of us on the south side of the state.

Re: New Jeep Guy from Sturbridge
welcome! I know skids are a good investment. not sure how the Rubi differs from the other JKs but the newer skids on my 12 JKU sport are a joke as delivered from the factory that was my second upgrade after tires.
You should already have rock rails and those are another good investment so maybe a budget boost would be a good first step... My advice is to wheel it as is for a little before adding too many gadgets. My JKU with 33s open/open and no lift has done fairly well on moderate trails.... toss in an application as we have a good run coming up in your area the day after Jeep Rally.

Re: New Jeep Guy from Sturbridge
Welcome to the forum. We'd love to meet you on the trails. We also have our fall meeting coming up next month. But if you wait till then, you'll be missing out on some great runs. Join now to take advantage of everything BSJ has to offer.
