You can come on trail rides and be just fine in a stock daily driver jeep. Just be sure to ask questions about how to traverse something and don't be shy about going around an obstacle. No one will say or think any less of your ability. We're all here to help eachother out. Everyone here started out as a newb. Keep in mind though that if you start taking your jeep off road, you can and probably will at some point break something... All depend on how good or bad your driving or trail guide is. ;-)
