i own a WG so not a wrangler, but i started off in a stock Suzi (still have it)

and personally listen to them guys!!!! start with nothing, specifically to get a feel for offroad tracks where your wheels are, on the rig and how it responds on different terrains.
this will give you a very excellent idea of the cars limitations, and then you can alter your car to suit what you want.

that AND starting off itn eh standard car and working your way up gives you one bit of excellent knowledge that other people may never get, as they slap money down on a rig then go straight to 35" mud terrain tires and think they know it all..
you will develope a skill that is picking your lines on tracks that will help assist your car up the track instead of barrling straight into something and potentially breaking things, you will be able to gague your terrain and adjust you driving type first and get allot further than just jumping straight into modding your car and hoping for the best!!!

that's what i learnt at least now i can still follow other cars when we go out who roll around with 35-37" mud terrain tires, with me in my suzuki rolling 30"s
i admit i scrape and bump allot too but i still manage to stick with them cuz of the driving expierence ihave built up!!!

btw... your car looks great, and very clean though, love the sticker postion on your bonnet.. very snazzy
