Well I thought they were married for quite a while, so I see why people think that.

Read through the mile long thread on Pirate about this. Took like 2 hours. Answered a decent amount of questions. Happy to see Carl on there filling in the gaps as he could (within disclosure agreement) and giving some behind-the-scenes info. As well as some local Alaskan folks that were involved.
Rover dude and his co pilot are on as well being total trolls.

From Super Jeep facebook page..
I keep getting the same question, Where did you get gas and provisions. Answer:
We had to carry our own supplies, I rebuilt my rear tailgate rack, to hold a 12V cooler as Rich my Co-dog is diabetic and had to have his medicine kept cold. but as we crisscrossed Alaska there were days off,( after all half the crew was union.)We were able to go to the nearest towns to stock up on food and gas and supplies. It was pretty easy the first half of the adventure, but once you get north of Fairbanks which is in about the middle of the state it was much harder. as there are just about no more towns. Check it out on a map almost nothing there. So I picked up a couple extra gas cans. At one time I had 53 gallons on board: 4 Jerry cans, my two under the seat tanks at 10 each, and and my rear tank at 13 gal. Even at 5 to 7 miles per gallon you can cover a lot of ground. The crew was not allowed to fraternize with the cast, or help us, but we could help ourselves. We managed to find a lot of leftovers after lunch on more than one occasion. (ssshush quite) My best trick was once on a TV time out, we were on a ridge and I managed to get cell phone reception, I called Tim back here at my shop. He then Figured out what Auto Parts Store at what junction I would be passing through in a week, and had a set of Monroe Spring overload shocks waiting for me as I passed through. One of my air shocks had blown, and I desperately needed to be able to carry all the extra crap, roughly 1000 lbs more than usual, with all our gear and and the cameraman, and his day pack, and camera and batteries. Tim was great, he looked up the air shock numbers I had, in my office file, then cross referenced them to the load levelers. But they turned out about 2 inches two long. **** I nearly passed out trying to compress them enough to get them on even with the High lift jack all the way up. One of the Moose buggies also towed a small military trailer which they carried tents and food for the crew in, and also there was a medic riding in one of the moose buggies as well.

Tire size was one of the conditions. I drive by "Wild Bill" Cotys house everyday, the FJ55 "War Wagon" sits out front, but what you don't see is he owns 3 more 55's and has an FJ40 built to the hilt on 40's. He lives in a run down house right off the highway. I know of quite a few more rigs up here that could have done this easy, but what kind of show would that be? The show does not portray the responsible wheeling that my friends and I up here do. Not all of us are mullet wearing crazy folk who wash ourselves in creeks and **** in outhouses :redneck: The trails up here remind me of Elbe and Nachese..minus the trees to stop you from rolling down the mountain. The trails down south by Anchorage or more like WA trails.
Picture of my friend Dustys full size Dodge on portals & my old Junk Runner. and my FZJ80 from yesterdays "playing on the frozen lake" shenanigans.
www.arcticoffroad.com ( Current people I wheel with ) Arctic Offroad FB Page check out the Alaska 4x4 network as well. Bill and Shay and even the Rover guys are pretty well respected, albeit they are from southern Alaska, in their communities. Bill Coty is well known up here in the interior where I live (Fairbanks)
I enjoy watching the show more the personalities, the "wheeling" is not what wheeling is exactly like up here.
