My wife and I have a '02 wrangler that is pretty much stock. Off road tires only change.
We have enjoyed trips in Ventura/SB counties to Portola, Nordoff Ridge, Pendola Station and Hungry Valley. Not too much experience in Mojave just Burro Schmidt and Darwin.
Some off roading in Mono county such as Laurel Lakes, Deadman creek and a bunch of "unnamed roads."
Look forward to sharing info and learning from you folks
