I like the hood and the "extreme" rear shackle angle :suprised: If it can't carry much weight, then why design it to? I would love to do that to my daily driver but I would need a traction bar and some air bags :eyebrow: Great rear flex from the looks of it. :thumbs:

So is it completely finished? Did you guys put a Crawler in there or what?

big mike thats funny you asked,  yes its dose have a doubbler but its not from marlin, which pissed me off buy the way.  its actually an inchworm and advanced adapters combination (its a complete disaster) its the new inchworm automatic to doubbler, and to be honest i dont like it at all.  we had nothing but problems with it, the casting on the advanced adapters was casted wrong and we had this horrible leak and we had to tig weld the actual adapter where there was this gapping hole just to seal it up and make it work.  Ian actual called marlin first and well Chris got to him and well chris was being chris and he pissed off Ian so bad that he said that if this is how marlin wants to do bussines and treat there customers than i want no part of it.  Once i found this out i then explained to Ian that chris was nolonger with the company and explained to him that marilin is the best in this industry regarudless if they have one bad apple working for them.  Ian is now reconsidering calling marlin back for this next project they have coming up. 

This formula build will be airing the first weekend in feb and the second episode will be aired 3 weeks later.

yes, well all had a chance to wheel it but only at prarie city.  the school had rich the event director from weroc come out and set up a course in the rock garden and we had a small competion with it. it was pretty fun and it wheels pretty good too.  I just cant belive how stable it is the center of gravity is really low and i think that makes a differance that and the fact that its the 4 seater version so its a bit longer.

That's cool dude :gap:

Yeah, Chris has a habbit of "making money" that sometimes can be a real PITA to the customer.

Who chose the :stopit: tires? :twocents: (Actually I usually just see Xterrains on all the pavement pounders around town, so naturally I don't want any part of them. Also the first set of tires I bought were some wasted (80% worn) 33" Xterrains that drove/rode/balanced/wheeled like garbage. So I am pretty biased :yupyup:)

So do we even get Xtreme4x4 on the west coast? I have only heard small talk about it here on the forum and I wouldn't know what it was even if I saw it on TV.

We use Cable (Comcast) TV, can someone lead me to the channel/time for PST zone? :bowdown:

you can see it on spike tv on any cable sevice provider just look at your tv guide for "spike tv" i dont know what time it shows i have satalite mine starts at 8:00am sat and sun 3 hour time differance should be like 11:00am our time. 

About the tires, you have to remember this is for tv and all the parts are donated, so you get what you can, But Ian really likes the pro comp tires they are 37"s with 17" walker evans beadlock wheels. they are ok for what they are, but you cant beat a toyo m/t !

Believe it or not but the xterrains work awsome in the rocks. Mud on the other hand :thumbdown:
