Howdy y'all

My name is Nick, and i'm a proud new owner of a 98 XJ. Green, 4 door, 4.0, manual, 8.25 and only 96k miles. I've only had it for a few days, but i'm already in love.

Anyway, i was looking for some advice on real easy trails for a stock XJ. Preferably something up North. Me and my bud were hopin to take it out this weekend. If anyone has any recommendations, they would be much appreciated. Thanks!

When I had my stock 99 I took it on Left Hand, Pole Hill, Bunce, Johhny Park Road, Caribou 4x4 trail, Saint Mary's Glacier (something like that) and a few other. Best thing to do is go get the Guide to Colorado Backroads and 4Wheel Drive Trails by Chrles A. Wells. He has 2 out, 1 for Northern and 1 that just Colorado. Those books will really help you find trails to run. You can also check out TrailDamage for more info on trails.

Best advice I can give you is... Do not go alone. Two rigs are better than one because stuff happens and help van make the difference.

And I echo the "Welcome to the Insanity". Frank's recommendation is a sound one as the trails are not only rated but there are photos to give you an idea of what to expect.
