Any advice on what extra's I'll need fitted and otherwise before I take on a trail? I'll take it easy to start off with, with wife and newborn on board, but still, I don't want us to get stuck in a hole somewhere.

I've had my JKU Sport stock for over a year and a half. Only now getting round to doing proper mods to it. I've not come across anything that has gotten me irretrievably stuck (well, once, but that was my own stupidity and AJOR friends were around to help me out), and while I've not done anything insanely extreme, I think some the tracks around GH I went on when I had about 500km on the clock from new could be considered pretty tough!
To be honest - I'd be nervy about taking a newborn offroad. I have only just started taking my four year old, and he still gets bounced around a lot, even on the easy stuff.
Also, usual sensible advice is don't go alone, don't go without recovery gear (and the knowledge how to use it), take a UHF radio, tell people where you're going and when you expect to be back.
See if AJOR members in your area are having a day on the tracks. Best way of getting to know your JK and its capabilities, and probably the safest way too.
