Leaving ABQ on tuesday 2/23 heading for Las Cruces. We are running the hard trails instead of the extremes for the first time ever. Wow never thought I would say that after 8+ years of attending this event and only running extreme's. That being said, the hard trails are suitable for ALL unimogs. I would love to see a mog presence this year. Because of King of the Hammers being so close in dates, this event has gotten a bit smaller and is less congested than previous years. Those of you that are worried about damage, we will have a mildly modded LR Discovery Series II on the trail with us that is much lower than your lowest dangly mog parts so no worries.

Trail picks are as follows -

1st choice -

Wed - Sandia Gulch
Thurs - Off Broadway
Friday - Donna Anna Hard
Sat - Cayenne Crawler

2nd choice -

Cayenne Crawler
Donna Anna Hard
Off Broadway
Sandia Gulch

3rd choice -

Donna Anna Hard
Cayenne Crawler
Sandia Gulch
Off Broadway

The website for entries - Chile Challenge - Index Page

You must postmark before 2/1, Otherwise just register at the event (runs do fill up).

We are all staying at the Hampton Inn Las Cruces (the one just off I-10)

Let me know if you plan on attending.

Had a great time at the chili challenge like always. The Mog did great all week. The Pinz lost its 6X6 and was torn apart and fixed on thursday to run the last 2 days.

Sure wish some other mogs had shown up. There were tons of mog axled rigs though.

Still working on getting all the pics etc but here are a couple of my little brother driving my mog.

Fronts are bead locks. Rears are regular. Im getting a set of walker evans racing bead locks soon as well as some larger iroks.

The 404 weld on bead locks with tubes are a life saver though. especially when your running 5 PSI
