you could do a lot of trails with that set up, thats basically what I have as well. I would just suggest checking out a trail and trust your judgement on what trails to ride.
I have essentially the same set up (add H55F and front locker). I did the rubicon last year, but the wagon is a little long for that sort of thing. I relied heavily on my sliders and rear bumper with quarter panel protection and I still got a little body damage.
Go out and have fun. If you have straight sheet metal and want to keep it that way, invest in some protection.

Your truck can probably wheel more than you can... Find a local club & start rolling w/them. I just drove an ambulance up a two-track (in 2wd) that some "four wheelers" I know wouldn't have done well on, but that's just practice, and a good teacher or three.

Enjoy your rig, and post up some pix!

X2 on this...
Go to the clubhouse corner and find your local TLCA club. Introduce yourself, attend a meeting and feel the group out. If they seem like pretty cool group, try and get in on a run with em.
Youve got a nice little set up in your rig and IMO it will do very well for you. As stated above, the rig will do more than you can.
Also check the "trails and events section and look for runs posted in your area.

I second 2mbb.
You could do the Rubicon with that setup.

It's a Landcruiser,
It will go anywhere you point it.
If you can handle it.

The signs @ Swamp and Dusy say you're covered with a locker and 33s.
Like others have stated you need to figure out what you are capable of negotiating the rig through. My guess is if you are asking this question, you don't have tons of seat time on the trails. It's probably best to start with something that has a lot of bi-passes so if you want to push the truck you can but you don't have to to complete the trail.

I see youre in Cali...
Is that Northern cal, near sac?
If so, there are TONS of runs to cut your teeth on, from mild to wild.
A good opener would be Barney Riley. Really mild with a few lil obstacles that will get a newb heart going.
Then theres Deer Valley which IMO is more dificult than most give it credit for. You dont have a ton of "pucker" obstacles, but its a fairly technical run and will give you some good chops at negotiating and driving for your diffs.
If youre in the Norcal region, shoot me a PM, Ill meet up with you to do Deer Valley and the like. Im still a newb to the rubicon, so Id feel more confortable wheeling with vets on that one.
