I have a 2020 Jeep overland with Rockhard Rh-80508 skids, Rockhard Rh-90211 Bumper plus Winch and D ring shackles. No lift and have Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac 32s. I will be going to Moab end of July this year and haven't been out there since 5 years old. So as this is the first time running any trails I would like to get opinions on the trails I'm looking at taking.
Day 1. Taking Potash trail to Long canyon and taking that to Dead Horse Point. From there we plan to head to Island in the sky and then take shafer trail to mussleman arch and back to Moab via Potash Trail.
Day 2.Head into arches for Gemini Bridges, Bull Canyon and Copper Ridge Then hike out to Delicate Arch for sunset photos.
The only trail I'm looking at taking that bothers me is imogene pass from talleuride to ouray. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I've only ridden these trails and never drove them myself.
I would love to hear any feedback on if my Jeep will take these fine. I'm assuming yes as my dad did these in a 91 Suburban but I'd rather gather info instead of broken parts, disappointment and tears!

You’ll be fine on any of the alpine loop, imogene, telluride. Phoughkeepsie Gulch will likely require your winch if you run it starting in ouray; going counterclockwise.

can’t speak for Moab, never been.

Call ouray visitor center/chamber to see if the loop is open. I’ve always gone end of July to mid October. I’ve read the trails can be blocked with snow sometimes until end of June.
