Hell's Gate w/ almost stock X

[badmc]

Wondering about Hell's Revenge / Hell's Gate in Moab.
It's an 2012 Xterra Pro4X w/ no lift, 285/70/17 tires.
Is it doable?
wondering if there are easier alternative bypass I can take if I in case don't feel comfortable?
Just dont want to be blocking the road if I choose not to take the course.
Not just hell's gate but the entire course, can I just finish the course by bypassing hard courses?
I finished fins and things last year no problem though.
And also way to porcupine as well.
is Porcupine also extreme or nothing crazy?

let me know thanks.

Hell's Gate is an optional obstacle on Hell's Revenge, you can definitely bypass it. In fact there are bypasses for most of the more difficult parts of the trail. That said, it is more difficult than Fins N' Things and there are sections that are high up and have greater exposure where it is critical you stay between the lines painted on the rock.

As a point of reference, the last time I drove it was ~2 years ago in a friend's 4th gen 4Runner with a small lift, 32" tires, sliders, and open differentials. We had no issues making it through.
