Not trying to be awkward, but it depends on the terrain.  When you air down you'll lose ground clearance, and your tyres become more prone to punctures too.

As you're running on stock tyres, I'd be inclined to run them at stock pressures to start with, and see how you go.  If you do air down I wouldn't make it extreme - maybe 25 - 28 psi, just enough to increase the footprint slightly.

No doubt others will beg to differ. 8-)

I would agree, don't worry about airing down too much. If you really want to then give it a try at low 20s somewhere but learning different driving techniques and how the Jeep behaves is more important and will get you further than aired down tyres - they just help that LITTLE bit and only on SOME obstacles and terrain.

Just have fun, try different stuff and get comfortable with how the Jeep feels  :-)
