Anyone seen advertisement for ALASKA OFFROAD WARRIORS?

I like how the 22 RE overheats, can't keep it cool in Alaska or prep it for a long journey? IDIOTS

 

Ya, as I expected...way dramatized and portrays almost everyone as careless redneck idiots. Does not create a positive image of the off road community so far

x2, I was expecting slightly more...intelligent characters

But I agree. way too much meth used in this show

 

Oh no. Another Alaska show.

 

fify

Things I have learned in the past year about Alaska.
1. Inbreeding is rampant
2. Meth is a food group and heroin is considered an alternative healthy choice
3. Nobody in Alaska likes anybody in Alaska
4. Meth is a food group
5. The residents in McCarthy and these other small towns crave a simple life and to be left alone yet, they allow film crews to follow them around.
6. Meth is a food group
7. 90% of the population is, has been or will be incarcerated at some point.
8. There are no igloos

Damn, how do you not feel bad for the good people in the state?

 

I like that.

 

Wow, these guys act like they've never wheel'd before, I thought they were supposed to be offroad veterans. Guess not. Plus it's like except for super jeep the rest of them have never driven their rigs before.

Damn that's a great way to snap a winch line and injure someone. This show is showing non-wheelers and newbies the worst things to do.

 

Anyone notice that the Rover guys that were all butt-hurt over the tree damage were the only ones that didn't use a tree saver when they hooked up their winch? Even the uber-redneck types jumped out of the truck with a tree saver.

I also thought it was pretty sad that the Super Heep on 44s couldn't even make it through the hole the FJ50 on 37" Boggers already blew open.

 

I hope they have a season 2, where it has some halfway decent offroading and better rigs. I see a lot better rigs on here than on that show

 

The guy driving the Rover also doesn't know how to drive a stick shift, he's always fighting to find a gear. The super heep has Irok's on it, those a re great tires for rocks but suck in the mud, the FJ50 has new bogger's on it and you can't beat bogger's when it comes to digging through mud.

 

I knew it would be bad. But not that bad.

 

Exactly. If they would have posted $100k bounty in here the line would have been huge.

 

Alaskan offroad warriors: were you get to watch just as much smoking as you do awful driving.

 

The one thing I do like about the show is showing different types of terrain: mountains, hills, mud, water crossing, dunes, etc.

 

True dat. Still, you'd think with 7 inch tire advantage, the Heep would have at least made it through a hole that was already blow open. I don't necessarily think IROKs would suck in the mud though. They are basically a Swamper with sipping (and directional tread depending on the IROK), and before Interco introed the Bogger, Swampers were the most aggressive street-legal mud tire you could get (I certainly have no complaints about mine, except in sand ). Granted, nothing street legal beats a Bogger for mud, but with a 7 inch tire advantage, I expected the Heep to do better.

However, once the heep got buried in that hole, nobody else was going though it either. I kinda doubt the FJ50 would have been able to make it a second time (without picking a different line well away from those 44 ruts).

 

Ain't that the truth. I was thinking that myself. At the same time though, I kinda like that they don't have high-dollar insane rigs on there. It means that a lot of us could easily go out and do the same trails (and probably do better). I think the Odd Green Taco could have done everything those guys have done in the first couple episodes without breaking a sweat...well, if I had a winch for that mudhole. Looked a little deep for my 33s, but if I was the first one through, I might have had a chance.

I think they picked beaters because they wanted them to break down on a daily basis. Note: the nicest rig in the field is being driven by the token chick...that 'Runner looks too capable to have made the cut if not for that.

 

I agree. That second gen runner has a nice SAS. I think that's my favorite rig on the show.

 

Anyone notice that the Rover guys were the only ones who didn't use a tree saver strap on any of the trees when winching? Kinda makes me wonder why they complained so much about the previous tree damage...

 

haha, I made almost the exact same comment back around post number 70.

 

Sorry, must have missed it haha. I just wish there would be a show that would blend Expedition Overland and this show. I hate all the emotional crap in Expedition Overland.

 

This show would be a lot better with a good bunch of ppl with good rigs like the ppl that run and participate the ultimate adventure every year from 4wd magazine. Polite, professional, respectful and informative.

This show makes me think smoking is what i should do when wheeling now!
