Looks like they break the Dana 35 tonight according to the commercial. I'm gonna try to watch it to see what kind of ideas they come up with.

They waisted a lot of time and energy. They had rope, they had an ax handle. They could have secured that wheel in with those and went right down the mountain.

No joke, they had everything they needed plus more I'm sure. I also liked how Bill Wu thought it was some kind of freak failure that the 35 broke.

They didnt have a spare, but they had a high lift and lots of straps. They could have rigged that up and got down the mountin alot faster than they did. They just would jack it up and push the axle shaft back in then go till it almost came out, and repeat. Then once they got to the bottom of the mountian into the woods, they cut a log to use to get them back to civilization. I thought they were going to strap the log to the tire and the Jeep to hold it in, but they took the axle out and straped the log underneath the Jeep to make a ski.

oh, so they must have been pretty much home free when it broke?

I missed this episode but the first one let me down a lot. The SAS guy is badass but I feel like an open interview on pirate4x4 would of been 10000x better. Cool idea but could of been done a lot better I feel like. I'm surprised they didn't google D35 failure before the trip :la:
