We realized the super heavy weight in our rear was really bad in performance
We will need to lighten the weight from now on

Cracked & smashed Fabitron Skid Plate

The last day was the hardest trail for us !  Very nice trail.  And tough.  On this last day, we were out on the "2 miles" trail for over 11 hours.

We had John Hong joined our group on this day.

On the way back to the hotel-
It happened again ! Lost air, but this time was a puncture on the Swamper.  We plugged and it has been holding air ever since.

After that it got very dark.  The very last incident was, Matt lost his wheel while driving.  Luckily the spot was not on top of hill or anything so he managed to put it back and we all went back to the town OK !  

The highlight of the trip for us was...Won the Grand Prize at the Raffle !  It was a "Warn" Electric Winch Model: 9500Xi !  Cool. We could use it the past couple of days.  This winch will go on a Dodge and we will still use our MileMarker winch on D90.  

As always, after this event, we have some projects (& repair) we need to take care of for the future 4 wheeling.

We will be back to the next Chile Challenge !

The sliders were used quite often including lifting the truck for tire/wheel change
