Hey everyone. I just joined the wait list and hope I will become a member after the spring meeting. I have 2014 Sahara 4 dr that I bought new. Been loving it every day. Only off roading has been in the dunes but decided it's time to hit some trails. Not sure where the good trails are, and I want to learn from experience jeepers hence joined BSJ. I haven't done any suspension mods yet. Want to see what the jeep can do stock and then go from there. Future plans are 33's and minor lift. Looking forward to meeting the members. Hoping I will be able to attend the 101 course in the spring.

Welcome, Chris

You're going to enjoy taking your rig off-road. It's extremely capable just as it is. You're smart in that you want to see what it is capable of before doing any upgrades. There are many ways to begin mods, but you need to first figure out how deep into wheeling you want to get, then start asking a lot of questions of others to find out why they did what they did to their rigs. Take your time. You want to avoid doing mods twice because they weren't thought out well enough.

Chris,
Sound like a great plan... wheel it the way it is and THEN decide on what upgrades would be in order.
Joining the club is a great way to get access to lots of legal trails the public doesn't have access to. We have a busy schedule this year.
Looking forward to meeting you at the Spring Meeting!

Welcome to the forums and the spring meeting is just around the corner! Its a great idea to wheel it and see how it performs and decide what you want.
