That and they just broke it and moved on

I'm still waiting for new ones instead of all these re-runs, they left off on the sami project exo'd without a motor, they said they were going to do something "special"?.

Pro 2 chassis still sitting there, don't think they ever finished the back halfed cruiser either

This is probably the BIGGEST and longest running complaint on the show. They need to stop trying to cram shitloads of projects through and slow down. Otherwise it looks like they're not even the ones doing the work.

They always say that so you'll tune in next weekend. They'd probably keep more people watching religiously if they went more in depth with their builds.

I thought it sort of sucked for the same reasons as above, but Marlin Crawler probably sold a few more parts because of it...

i'd assume so.. That show is more product placement than the truman show.

ya i saw it a while ago they went threw that biuld 2 quick in the beging it was stock at the end it was bobbed front and rear and decked out

black truck right

fatt_matt · « **Reply #11 on:** Oct 02, 2007, 05:19:59 PM »

yeah it was black.. Some episodes, they go over slower.
Yeah... So, Besides looking (in my opinon) kind of dumb, what is the point to a dove-tail bed? are they intended to not hang up on rocks? it hink they mentioned something in teh show, but im not sure..

maybe the toy build would have got a little more time dedicated if jessi was able to work at the time

jrock · « **Reply #13 on:** Oct 02, 2007, 10:21:25 PM »

They should do a flat bed.

Is this available anywhere on YouTube or the like?

I don't have Spike, and I've never even seen a SINGLE episode of Extreme 4x4, and in fact I have never even HEARD of Extreme 4x4 if it wasn't for people talking about it on the forum.

If anyone has a DivX of it, I'll setup a FTP transfer

You can buy all the episodes off of Itunes if you use that. I have a few episodes on my ipod that i watch.

As for talking about how its not detailed enough and he runs through it so quick, go search over on pirate about that show. Ian frequents that board a lot taking up for himself i guess and the show. Pretty much his producers edit out a lot of the stuff that explains a lot of stuff and he doesnt have control over most any of that stuff. He seems to be a really nice guy and takes all criticism well. I like the show for the most part but i too would like to see a project from start to finish within a few episodes back to back.

But i think that yota coulda been built better and another way. But thats just my opinion...
