    Man, those guys are something else. Creepy and weird Alaskans. In fact, all of them are a bit creepy and weird. The Super Jeep guys do seem different from the rest being the "lower 48ers". Although Bill and Butch just seem like your typical rednecks and don't come off as weird as the others.

    Well, Jason the douche is back with an old Landy. He really shouldn't have been let back in on the show, regardless if he is out of the running for the prize now. With his hate for the lower 48ers, he is in a sense an added tool for all the Alaskans now, when they should all be relying on their own rig in this race, like everyone else. However, Super Jeep is ahead by a clear 3 hours that nothing short of the engine taking a dump will get the War Wagon to catch up and surpass them in time. Speaking of War Wagon, the makeshift land anchor that Butch and Bill made is freaking sweet! It's 90* angle and shovel head are perfect for the terrain. I am still hoping they catch up to Super Jeep in times and gain the first place standing. I want to see them win this!

    I believe the jeep is the only vehicle with a front locker and they are the only ones who brought a land anchor from the start.

    That gives them a big advantage. If the vehicle holds up mechanically they should win.

    The problem is deciding if this is a race or a off-roading trip where people help each other out.

    Anybody catch the episode last night? If you didn't think that guy Jason in the Land Rover can get any more doucheier or be more of an ass, he succeeded last night. I don't see how that guy has any friends at all.

    Just watched about 30 mins of this. What a bunch of idiots and pussys. Can't even walk up a hill and secure a winch line. Another drives into a ditch and has the steering wheel whip his hand and almost cries...WTF. If I was wheeling with these idiots, race or no race, I would leave them behind, the ultimate wrong, but Jesus, what a bunch of malarky.

    You sir, follow it a bit too closely and are a little too into it tbh.


    it was probably the main criteria when auditioning for the show

    Tire size was limited for the show from 33"-35" I think, but it might have been 33"-37" anyways, his tires are still too big.

    Most of them are on 37s, so I would guess that's the limit.

    Little this. Little that 4x4 Swap’d PreRunner
    Super Jeep is on 40's. So not sure what the limit is. I hate that Rover is back on it, with such an attitude. He's DQ'd. Not sure what he thinks he has to prove.
