I'm surprised their primary sponsor "JEEP" allowed them to even attempt half of what they are doing on the stock axle. Just makes it look bad. I'm sure they cut out the idiotic stunt he did to actually break that rear, because the aired video didn't show anything that would have done it. But I agree, the special forces guy is awesome, but they could have found someone at the mall with more experience and more balls than Mr. Wu.

I'm watching the Rainforest episode now......looks like a big PIA. And this Wu fellas experience is GHEY. I'm not sure how long this show will last.
And this special forces dude doesn't need some rice driving bozo to tell him how to look for wet terrain. It's getting pretty dumb as the episode goes on.
It does look like they took advantage of Southeast Overland's orange winch line sale tho.

I feel my iq dropping when i watch this show... That wu man needs to get back in his civic.... This show is so gay.. Its catered to these people who live in nyc who think its soooo extreme.. i mean come awn... Put Chuck Norris and McGyver in it.. make it interesting or something.. someone needs to slap Jeep in the face.... big time... who decends a hill riding their brakes and not using the engine braking....and how the hell do you break a 35 shaft coasting down a hill... And for god sakes its not a half shaft...its a rear axle shaft.. Its not a car, Its a Jeep... Im done with it.. ha
Yeah I watched this the other day. Its a pretty awesome show other then the fact for that driver. Its like that Man, Woman, Wild show Discovery had but Mr. Wu is the Woman. Problem is Wu is not a Jeep driver. He as made his name with road cars in races like the Gumball 3000 and the Bullrun. I probably could handle a trip like this better then he could and would actually love to be in a trip like the ones in the show. What they should have done is chosen a true rock racer. Someone that actually knew what he was doing and had actual experience of trail fixes. That would have made a more interesting show, something that might actually have taught some people.
New episode last night,
So why did they drive through the river when the banks were clear? If its so critical to keep the jeep drivable you wouldn't risk the diff damage. Why make a plug wire from a stick? He had tape, so wrapping it heavily would have taken care of it.
Why not just ease down the 60deg incline, why all the block&tackle.
It's all for show, but I still watch it.
