Not to defend him but the guy driving the rover was the production manager for the show, in other words all the death defying talk was probably him just trying to justify his position.

Yeah....I knew that when his name popped up with the "producer/director" next to it that we were gonna hear some BS. This one was marginally better then the other "dangerous drives" one in Moab. Still, they should go on some real dangerous drives. Like the KOH or the video on this page...

There are some seriously sketch lines in that video. The other thought I had was the Rangely event that happens every year, which has a bunch of the really built buggies coming to do lines that only they can get up.
I have a plea in with Matt Farah from "The Smoking Tire" youtube videos to go do KOH coverage, but he is in the middle of starting a TV show to compete with Top Gear America, so it may not/probably won't happen. He frequents the Final Gear forum (Top Gear and Fifth Gear enthusiast forum) and takes ideas for episodes.
So far, only Xtreme4x4 has really captured wheeling like most wheelers see it for me. Their idea of a small budget and ease of installation is a bit skewed, but when they go wheeling with the rigs, they show it like it is and don't sensationalize it. I guess that is to be expected when the host of the show is the Editor for Crawl magazine though.
