    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"
