He snapped a driveshaft, maybe that's why. It looked cool as hell though w/ the 35's.

Did you notice when he replaced the drive shaft that he has leaf springs on it.

35's aren't to big if you don't mind upgrading a bunch of stuff and/or breaking a bunch of stuff. Not to mention a lot of lift or sawsall work. I know of a DII with 37's on it.

Still not sure if I like this show or not, although, the last episode was pretty good. Team Rover just pushed too hard. I'm surprised the Gen1 4Runner is still in it.

Guess you're right. They have tried to kill it multiple times already, and it survived.

I love those trucks. I had a black '85 5spd in high school. Pulled the top off in the summer. chicks dug it The thing was tough as nails, I swore I ran it without oil for the entire summer, it didn't care.

The guy that owns it is from alaska, I would assume the film crew pulled him out. Not sure that was a 90 though

At the end of the episode the jeep was towing him. What kind of Rover was it? It's from the 80s
