If you have 4 wheel drive, you can pretty much go to any of the offroad parks we go to and have a good time. Durahmtown, where we'll be going to in February, seems to be one of the milder places and is a good place to start riding with us. Whenever we have a large group riding we will split into groups by your vehicle's capabilities and driving experience. A lot of us are into rock crawling, but even at the parks like River Rock and Morris Mountain, there are bypasses around the big stuff and plenty of moderate trails for the stock-mild rigs. There's mud at most of these places too if you like mud.

yeah man, come on out. You'll have a great time. The private parks like this have bypasses cut for all of the crazy stuff, so you can pick what you want to try.

do you care about body damage?? if so then dont take it on the trails. even if they seem mild you are bound to slip up and get some scratches and dings from trees.

I say take it out and have fun.   
If you are real scared of body damage stay at home, but if you don't mind whatever happens, have fun and ride.  Keep in mind your wheel base is a lot longer and you truck is wider than most of the rigs, so tighter trails with a lot of turns may be more difficult to avoid damage. but like everyone else says, most of the trails have bypasses.

I have been to a lot of the parks in the southeast on 31's and still had fun.  The bypasses, that are easy for the big boys, can be your playground.

I'm scared of body damage, but if I do take some then that's how it goes.  This is a good group to ride with in terms of there being very little peer pressure to take obstacles that you're uncomfortable with.  You'll find yourself pushing it a little harder then you like, but generally (for me anyways) that is still short of any real damage.

I'm a stock JK, there are a few stockish TJs also, and the damage is generally confined to tires and superficial scratches.
