Poison Spider Trail, Stock 5th Gen?

I’m planning to spend some time in Utah this coming Sept/Oct and a buddy of mine wants to do the Poison Spider Trail in Moab. I have a stock, 2018 T4R TRD Pro (sliders are the only mod I’ve done). I’ve been watching youtube videos of others running the trail, but most I’ve been able to find are Jeeps or heavily modded T4R’s...and there are some gnarly looking sections.

Can anyone advise if this trail is feasible in a stock ride without incurring damage? I’d prefer my bumpers don't get ripped off...(actually its more my wife who prefers that).

just challenging enough to be fun without quite being a vehicle buster.

LOL.

You can always turn around.
 
I was there last week. It would be doable in a stock truck provided you have a spotter and go Slow. We did the Triple threat which is poison spider, gold crack and gold bar. I would not recommend that without other trucks and a lift and bigger tires, also loose those sway bars for the triple threat.

As far as poison spider you should be able to, with the knowledge beforehand that you will more then likely take bumper damage. I ripped the insert piece on the rear bumper off on mine while we did poison spider. Also skufft the SSO bumper on a few approaches.

Also we started at 1100 and got to the end at 1430 so plan ahead and plan on with a stock rig that youall be there all day. So plenty of water and lunch and snakes.
We did not take lunch just some cheese and salami and we started poison spider at 1100 friday morning and finished 0330 saturday morning. I'll see if I can get on my phone and throw a few photos on for you.

Also if you do the "wedgie" don't turn out to early or you will do a pretty good wheel lift and sit the passenger rear.
It is absolutely beautiful up there and you should have a blast!
Good luck!!!
