Skids would definitely be a good idea, recovery points are mandatory. If you don't have skids, be careful picking your lines since you have a CRD and the oil pan hangs lower than a gas Liberty. I ran Rausch Creek a few times stock height with just skids and did fine. The only other thing to watch is your tires. They have a lot of tree stumps (some are actually rather thin though) on the trails and they did in one of my stock Goodyear ST's. Have fun and report back with pictures.
