Default Anyone see the XJ tug of war on Speed channel Stuntbusters?

I just caught the tail end of this show, looked like they were testing some theories. I saw the XJ pull on a Dodge Ram, and then get yoked by a tractor or something. Anyone else see this?
This is the show I talking about:

Yeah i caught towards the end of it also. Before that they were shooting a cadillac off of what looked to be a 4 door rubicon. That tractor thing that pulled the xj was electric.

XJs seem to be a favorite to destroy on TV shows. Between Mythbusters and Stuntbusters alone, doner XJs may be hard to find in twenty years.

They also give a lot of misinformation of how things work too, and their computer illustrations are sloppy at best. They had one explaining how an automatic transmission works, the illustration had the crankshft turning counterclock wise and the crankshaft centerline and torque converter centerline were not lined up. I know it's nit picking, but come on.
