Armor needed for Fins & Things or Hells Revenge?
Heading out to Moab in September and in preparation I am considering sliders and skid plates. Is this sufficient armor paired with a 3" lift and 285's for both these trails?

You don't need any of those things to do those trails. You will drag your trailer hitch a good bit.

Good to know! Now I can put that money towards something else

If it was mine I would put sliders on. You don’t want to crush your door sills by accident.

You probably don't need anything for either trail, but the descent back to Sand Flats Road from Hell's Revenge once you get beyond Tip Over Challenge is all broken rock ledges, not slickrock. You need to take your time through this section without sliders or skidplates.

This is very true. You have the option to bypass it and some people do. However if you want some technical challenges it’s fun. Just don’t do it at night like we had to.
