The fall looked staged.. Otherwise the rest of the episode was very good.

it was staged...

Hope they don't turn into other "reality show"
The drama about the jack stand seem staged as well.

The show said the fall was "practice" - I am not sure about the jack stand.... I would bet the guy in charge of maintenance/mechanics was tired and got upset when someone crawled under the truck with just the jack (HiLift?) I have seen several folks do it when fixing a truck in the woods, and I have even felt obligated to say something a couple of times... each time, the person was tired, it was near the end of the day and they were hurrying, I am pretty sure each also thanked me and figured a safer work environment. With the hours these guys were pushing in the show, I felt like that was what happened.... just my .02 cents.

I must have missed the part where they said it was practice.

Seem like a lot of stress over lack of parts and time. As a tech i understand the importance and I wouldn't let anyone working on the truck unless I say so. But that's me

Agree. Having had a good friend die when his gfs car fell off the jack...it can definitely be a pain point.

Haven't read the whole thread (maybe another day), but have watched most of the episodes (am on 9 - I think?). Loved them!! Have also added a few spots for my short excursion I plan on taking in Alaska this summer based on what I've seen in the videos.

It looks like you guys had a great trip, and I'm very thankful you decided to shot all the video and take the time to edit it and whatnot. Not much of a Toyota guy... but the rigs look pretty good too.

After watching all the episodes to date, I must say it has me thinking about how I'd like to spend a few weeks of vacation.

If I hear any more lip in this thread, I'm pulling out the wiffle ball bat.

Someone had to bring up a wiffle ball bat. It better have a titanium handle...

Ep10 was pretty awesome. Loved that they did a mock emergency and the way it was handled.

It comes out tomorrow. Just saw them post the release date on Facebook.

Saw the tacoma and trailer on Velocity the other day when they were showing some of the vehicles leaving the sema show!
