I have never seen it, but I plan to tune in - Sunday at 7 pm.

I bet they could make a good version set in Baja! :yes:

I've watched several episodes. Compared to the terrain they tackle in Alaska, the Baja trails look like freeways. Recommended viewing for all off roaders.

Well it would have to be a lot worse than what was shown in that clip. Anytime you have camera crews along think of Ice Road Trucker. Lots of drama with little real action. Besides if I thought I would have to cut a tree limb like they did I'd have a chainsaw with me.

All in all it may be a lot of fun to be a ride along.

Mood: Checking-off my bucket list.

A total BS program. Bad equipment, absolutely NO environmental consciousness, no seat belts, and the people are so crude I wouldn't want to be forced to hang with them. This is like duck dynasty with old 4 by 4's. Just my opinion. Part of one episode was plenty for me.

A little goofy


Gee whiz - 8 or 10 days of 4x4 action and they carry one jerry can? Hmmmm, the trucks must be all gas tank!

Was ok the first episode or two, but we watched last week and it's really deteriorated in believability. (is that a word? as spell check doesn't like it)

We need a 'Baja Off Road Warriors' show with Ken Cooke and others (with nice cut hair) to host it! LOL

Travelers on the Pole Line Road, Mission Santa Maria Road, Puertecitos to Gonzaga Bay before 1986 road, etc. all gets you on instantly!

Don't need to cut any trees in Baja either
