Hey there from Aztec/Farmington, NM

Hi guys. New jeep owner here and new to crawling. Bought a 2000 TJ w/4" Superlift and 33X12.50 tires about three weeks ago. Immediately added 4.56 gears, front disconnects, rock sliders and ARB in front. I've taken it out to Choke Cherry Canyon a couple times and, as someone new to this, I can't believe what this thing will do! Seems like the next step (money is always a factor) will be bumpers/tank protector to improve entry/exit angles. Any other ideas?

I've been to Moab once last year but not with the Jeep. Looking to take my girlfriend in the next few weeks. Which trails should we start with?

Welcome to the sport. Did I read your post right? You locked the front. Do you have the rear locked as well?

re: front locker

The front is locked, rear is still an open diff. I talked to the guys at Brown's in Farmington (local pro crawler team) and they said that's a good starting setup, will climb plenty, and be much less likely to break things. It still has the Dana 35 and 30 axles. I'm sure I'll lock the back eventually but not until I at least get the 30 spline heavy duty rear axles.

Just my opinion but I would lock it in the rear next, then wheel it till it breaks.

Choke Cherry and the Rock Garden are great! Welcome to RME.
