You have to understand the diversity of the 2 main characters. One guy is a survivalist, the other guy drives off-road and knows 4x4's, that's what he is best at. When the SHTF the survivalist guy is the hunter gatherer and guide/spotter, the other guy drives the terrain and fixes the vehicles.

In the new glacier episode they snapped a d35 shaft. I kept saying to the tv that they need to take apart that high lift and tie it up against the tire, then they'd be good!! Not jacking it up every 15 feet.....

I tried to give it a second chance last night. I made it maybe fifteen minutes. They over dramatize everything, even more so than most do for TV. I think I did hear a little more of the knowledge that Wu has, but he was still super annoying. And for being such a military and survivalist I found the Brit annoying too. All he really wants to do is play up the camera.

I watched the premiere last night. Wasted one hour of my life.
First, I have no issue with a Wrangler... The Wrangler itself did well.
That was the most irritating show I've ever seen.
All the fat asian dude did was complain about wanting steak and the other dude did nothing but yell STOP! STOP! STOP! at the Asian dude for driving 40mph thru the rain forest and into a damn swamp...multiple times. 80% of the show was them winching thru mudholes and the other 20% consisted of cooking fish over the fire.
How this show is good for offroad enthusiast, I'm not sure. The show was about nothing other than busting thru the forest with a machete and a Jeep... I'll give it 2 weeks before Viromentalists are all over the place.
There was about 10 seconds of technical advice that involved teaching you how to turn your Jeep into a submarine... because everyone carries around Vasoline and latex gloves...
I'm not sure I get the point of the show... I get a much better thrill watching personal youtube wheeling videos.
Review: Lame as hell.
Edit:
Oh yeah. It's not a CAR, it's a ****ing JEEP!

I like how they snapped a shaft going under down hill braking, barely moving, and under no throttle. I mean i know those 31-33" km2's are huge and that 4 banger is a monster but a d35 isn't that ****ty.
They need to replace Wu with Tim Cameron

lol That would make the show MUCH better.
The poor little TJ would be broken in half and they'd be out of the woods in 29 seconds.
They probably sawed the D35 shaft half way thru so it'd break on purpose and make the show "more interesting." God know's it needs something.

I gave it a second chance, I'm done with it. Too much made for TV drama, and I would put money on it that the broken axle was staged just to add to the drama.
