Good point!
Plus it IS tv. .... would be a boring show for viewers watching a Jeep break down and they pull out all the right tools and parts to fix it.

Not true, these are two nearly two completely different comparisons. A person who is survival savvy can survive without much of anything. But there is no amount of 4x4 savvy that will prevent you from being stranded in the middle of no where without the proper equipment or spare parts. There is no way around that.Originally Posted by Pixelcodex
Also, it seems you missed the first part of my response I stated I can look at the show at face-value and find it entertaining.
It's easy to say pull out the right tools and fix it. But we all know that is not the case. Having the equipment is half the struggle. Actually performing the repairs such that it works is another.

I thought one was a survival expert and one a jeep expert????? This is where I got annoyed at the jeep expert not knowing how to properly wheel a Jeep to include descending in neutral brakes only WTF or getting freaked out over a little tilting. That guy being called an expert annoyed the crap out of me but if that's not the case then I'll reevaluate my opinion.
Having tools is a struggle? Na... The tool box I bring with me to RC has enough supplies to completely take apart the front suspension. Actually performing the work is also trivial (for an expert anyways... which that guy is supposed to be).
But like said, there's no suspense in "oh crap we busted an axle, but its ok let me pull out these few tools and i'll have us going again in 45 minutes".
Well... unfortunately, mechanical failure is not limited to suspension components, and not everything is defaulted to 45 mins. This show is entertaining for you, and that's cool. But this isn't it for me. I'm more interested in the repair and go.
Ok so after reading the posts/rants about the show I decided to give a go and watch it. I caught one off youtube where they are in the rainforest and honestly the shows not that bad. This Jeep "expert" is annoying and in my opinion no more of an "expert" than I and has no balls, but part of his job on the show is show suspense. The survival expert guy Ive got no beef with. I do feel the show is mapped out else these guys would have no shot but I do find it entertaining. I guess cause watching any Jeep off road to me is entertaining and make get the urge to go wheeling. I get everyones points about not having parts, not being an expert etc. I think criticizing it from our point of view and you experts point of view are different than those of the people who dont wheel and arent expert might enjoy. I will be watching more episodes to get some laughs when there is nothing else on..

You're taking my post too literally and not seeing the big picture. lol this show "isn't for me", and neither is the "repair and go"
