If a Stock ZJ can take it I should have no problems I think the WJ's are higher then the ZJ's

Forest Lake is easily accessible by a stock vehicle. I regularly see Forest Service pickups at the top, so if they can make it, you can make it. Just pay attention and take it slow.

even if you don't feel comfortable with forest lake there are many other easier rds up there to explore.

Its a good one. It can get a little dicey after a heavy storm, like today. But if you just pay attention to where you are placing your tires, you'll be fine. Try to get someone who's done the trail a lot to go with you and they'll guide you through the few tough spots. If it were next weekend I might be tempted to go. But this weekend is maintenance weekend for the Pathfinder.
There is so much to see up AF that just exploring will do you good. I love just driving the main road all the way to the top and dropping down into Wasatch Mountain State Park. Two wheel drive the whole way, but beautiful. A great Sunday drive.

I have skid plates for the tranny and also for the gas tank. I don't have sliders and my wife said no on them until next year. I don't know what much more armor I can get for a WJ. Looking further into that.
I took my 2000 WJ up Forest Lake when I first got it. It was a stock vehicle with the upcountry package (skids and stiffer springs). I didn't have any problems and escaped without damage. However, I've never been one to worry much about dings or scratches on bumpers, undercarriage, or rockers. If I did, it would have been a very stressful trip.
