@malogus ... Look up Bulldog Canyon ... it has lots of sand, lots of rocks, and some neat scenery. I think some folks pass it by 'cuz it's close to town and you need a permit. The permit is free, it can be obtained via e-mail, and it gives you the combinations to the gates (by month) for six months. AllTrails, FunTreks, and AZoffroading have write-ups on the trail. BUT, they only show you the main trail ... from Cottonwood to Blue Point. Check out JeeptheUSA.com for .gpx downloads of all the main trail ( https://www.jeeptheusa.com/bulldog-canyon-20-25.html ), plus the three other side entrances onto the main trail ... and a handy link to the permit. Usery has some neat sand washes and a mini Box Canyon spot. The AA Pit entrance road has some interesting terrain with one spot that a stock Sahara might have trouble with ... I tickled the belly on my stock Rubicon. The Wolverine entrance is a good way to cut the trail in half ... sneak into town for lunch and then return for the rest of the trail.
The JeeptheUSA.com website is a hidden jewel for those of us who live in the Phoenix area. It's hosted by @camprats (members of this forum) who live in the area for six months out of the year. Thus, they devote a lot of time visiting and documenting local trails.
While you're on the JeeptheUSA website, check out Montana Mountain. Now would be a great time to go on that ride. It's an all afternoon trail, but the scenery is well worth the time. Box Canyon is a favorite of most folks. Walnut Canyon has been highly recommended to me ... have it penciled in for late next week. Actually, any of the 2.0 or 2.5 rated trails on Steve's website should be doable with a standard Sahara ... that should keep you busy for quite awhile.
