Anybody else been watching the show One Car Too Far on discovery? It's about getting a car out of rough terrain. They've been using a wrangler for the first two episodes. Kind of fun to watch. The car gets planted some where crazy and 2 guys have to find it and get it out only using the equipment that's in the car. Pretty cool I guess.
Um...what?

I saw it. I thought the two guys acted like girls. That Jeep was more capable than they gave it credit for. The log trick was cool however.

Ya. I agree. I'm shocked they broke an axle though.
Watch episode 1 they drive the jeep out of the jungle. Talk about bush whacking.

Are episodes on Hulu, or somewhere else on line? I'd like to catch up.

Funny that the complaining comments are that the show is just a jeep commercial.
If it was, wouldn't the show be using a current-model jeep rather than a 10-year old TJ? Also, breakage isn't a super good marketing approach. I'd give these guys a Call 2 duty SWB JK with snorkel if I were jeep.

ive watched the 2 episodes soo far and I think its a pretty nifty idea i just can stand this bill wu guy. "The Driver" of the show street raced lambos and an H2..... ...street raced- and he wears a hat with his own name on it. Im surprised it dosn't have the size sticker left on and cocked to one side - either way ill probably continue to watch it

Ya the driver guy is a joke. But it's entertaining and I am shocked they aren't in a Jk.

I think it's a pretty cool concept overall. Probably better to have a "TV" type person play the role...maybe. lol I'm curious how he came to picked though (Wu).
Survivor specialist gets the short end of the stick though, imo, b/c he does the most work.
Best comment so far by narration was 1st episode during the winching across the tree bridge. Winch has synthetic line and the narrator commented on how dangerous if it snapped under load. It's "uneducated" comments like that to be a concern for the general consumption out there.
I read somewhere that the purpose was to use a mostly unmodified 10 yr old vehicle to accomplish the challenge.

Have to leave room for improvement. And I see a shaft like that every time I get on the con.

There were just driving on ice when the shaft broke. I know Dana 35s are week and can break if you look at them wrong. But downhill on ice?

im sure off camara they were having fun powersliding and swinging some donuts and on those BFGs i could see a broken axle

I've seen the show and was a little unnerved when the axle broke, I just got an xj. I'm hoping he had a d35 in that thing. Anyway, the driver guy is such a whiny pansy! I'm surprised the survival guy is able to put up w the " driver".

Saw it for the first time yesterday. It was the glacier episode. Thought the survival guy was crazy for getting under the rear tire with just the hi-lift holding it up. 😯

Wow....That show is tough to watch. Real tough. After 2 episodes I had to take it off the DVR to record. Reality shows can be pretty corny with all the contrived drama, but this show takes it to a new low.
