My husband and I have only had our X since September and its still stock, for now. We've been saving and hope to at least have the rock sliders and skid plates before Moab. If we're lucky we'll be able to get the Shrockworks winch bumper but that may be rushing it. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.

This would be our first experience with real off roading, is Moab a bad idea for beginners or should we just steer clear of trails rated 4 or above? I know families are welcome but my boys are ages 3 and 7 mos. is that a little young or would it just depend on how much time we wanted to spend caring for them becuase we want to bring them. Our 3 year old has been off roading several times but nothing like Moab. In the past have there been children there that young?

Just wondering, where everybody's dogs are while on the trail? Would like to bring our dog too.

We have had some experience in my husbands Trooper and we do have recovery gear.
