It would have been a great opportunity for a narrator to point out what were safe and unsafe practices being used by the guys!

For the Wu guy being an extreme driver he sure didn't look like he knew what he was doing.  Next week looks even better.  Loved the fire starter!

Yes, I wasn't extremely impressed by the wheelin' so far. Is it just me or did it look like they were on primitive roads in the jungle a few times rather than blazing trails? I will still tune in next week to see what they do with the Jeep next week.

The shows they make for TV these days.....very entertaining.

I like how they call the Jeep a "car", I thought only land rovers were considered cars....


I will keep recording it. Glad it doesn't interfere with Call of the Wildman! Live action! Lol

For real!  I would have liked to have seen some cop pop out of nowhere and bust him for speeding!

I must say that the title for my Jeep notes that it is registered as a ( RD ) roadster , which means convertible or topless . oh my , topless .  ;D
I guess if your British and call the hood a bonnet , you can call a Jeep a car .
Hey Death Wobble when was the last time you saw a Chilean cop on a camel ? ( a chilly cop on hump patrol ).
Even a Jeep can out run a camel , or run over one , ever watch RAT PATROL on TV , Them little Jeeps always come out ahead .

He could have ridden up on a burro...or came out of the water with a snorkel on the back of an otter.
Most of the camels that I've ridden were rather slow.  Then again, I never raced one. 
Rat Patrol...old school TV!  Good stuff!

Dirty Jobs is Down Under in Australia now.  Just saw Mike Rowe do some better outback wheeling than Mr. Wu did on "One Jeep Too Deep" (in the mud).  ;D

Here I thought he was going to strap the log to the Jeep to keep the tire from pushing out.....

And that little hill they were going down didn't look like anything tough enough to snap an axle...
