    I just watched the first two episodes. (Suspension and Tires). Pretty funny how much misleading/incorrect/flat wrong information was shared in those episodes. In their defense (and from the history of donut), it's clear that they have had to learn a lot about trucks to do the series, and the stuff that they get wrong is pretty commonly misunderstood even here on TW. I'm definitely going to keep watching - it's fun to watch them build up a couple 1st gens, even if they are way over their heads! :rofl:

    Would be pretty interesting to know what they paid for the trucks themselves. Because they appear to be in great shape, and in SoCal, they couldn't have been cheap!

    Oh they definitely make mistakes, but seeing them climb under the trucks and test them out on obstacles and learn to offroad is pretty entertaining.

    It drove me crazy when they kept calling the sidesteps rocksliders. :annoyed:

    "Bougie" may be my new least-favorite word, edging out "literally" by a bit.

    Some of the stuff they buy as hi team versus low team is ridiculous but I love the series. The winch episode was the worst one by far though, making him get a hand winch:rofl:
