Sound like our families have some things in common - our ages, our kids ages, a turbo Wrangler behind a 38' DP, etc...
Every summer we do a 3-4 week trip, and I do plan a few long days like the ones you're describing; my kids a hard core road trippers - started when they were infants so they've never know any different. But all that being said, your trip plan gives me serious pause.
If you can get away with redoing your plan, maybe you could split it up into 2 trips - 1 this summer and 1 next summer.
I highly recommend Moab, the various parks in Utah, and the Ouary, CO / Silverton, CO area.
If you're interest, here's a couple of my past trip reports to those areas:
2011 Roadtrip
2012 Roadtrip
2013 Roadtrip
The Wrangler isn't what's turbo'd. I have a Grand Cherokee SRT8 that's roughly 1600hp. I drag race it. Although, developing a turbo kit for my Wrangler for sale isn't out of the question. I'm buying the Wrangler this week.

Gotcha - I shouldn't have made that assumption. Depending on which year Wrangler you're getting, definitely worth considering. I've been working with Banks on their Wrangler Turbos - using my LJ as one of their many prototypes.
Getting a smidge off topic here but hey, it's my thread. :-) Buying a 2015 Wrangler Sport today. I have a friends and family Chrysler code so we shall see where that get's me. Cars are my passion. We build custom turbo kits for Mopar's, Vipers, Ford GT's(not the Mustangs) and whatnot. Only issue is tuning. Haven't looked into whether or not the PCM can be custom tuned or not. If so, that's the hardest part. Making the turbo kit is easy for us.
