Liked it a lot. Especially since screw-ups are entirely your own. No worrying about some jackass pushing beyond their capability on the inside.
Kyle from Offroad Consulting was a good guide. I'm planning on taking the full series of courses, including winch recovery. Nothing like a controlled environment to figure out how much I don't know.
Then the plan is to go out with a group for a while before making any mods. The JKU Hard Rock seems pretty capable, as long as I avoid deep water and large rocks. Then I should be in a good position to figure out what mods to do, based on what the needs really are vs imagined adventures.
Can you tell I used to be an engineer?
