    I read through some of the comments. Apparently the TV show made an apology for airing the episode, the Rover got repo'd, and the 4x4 community tore everyone involved a new butthole. As one guy stated, it's very surprising none of that crew is maimed yet in their little adventures.

    they were tearing the trails up big time with that camper... the one shot where the rover was on top of the hill but the trailer frame got caught on the embankment, so they just tore the hell outta the hill to get by.... i can see why some people would be pretty pissed off at that.

    yeh! not to mention they tore the hell outta the landscapes when the trailer frame drug the ground. :smack: they also put quite a few people's lives at risk when they had to be winched off that one spot called "the highway".... the suv that they winched off of was sliding towards them because the loaded down cruiser was so heavy! :frusty:


    it would have been a cool trip had they not had that trailer on there

    what mntbiker2008 said, plus no damper on the straps (that I remember seeing), unsafe distances from the recovery being performed, bombing into rocks like idiots, among other things I'm most likely forgetting that others could probably fill in on.

    Pulling a trailer can be done if you have a bit of common sense, knowledge, and planning:
    Rubicon
    Moab

    Sorry I only have Jeeps (used to have some photos of 4Runners and a Titan that had a camper) :p

    pulling a trailer could be done. yes.... the trailer in the cruiser vid sat WAY too low. ive seen a few pop up trailers specially designed for offroading. thats what they needed. as well as better tires, a lift and some more common sense...... and the dude is an avid offroad guru???? wtf?
