Xtreme 4x4 ends this year??

ian from xtreme · Jan 1, 2014

And as for the advertiser in the show.....how do you think we pay for this stuff.....

Maybe one day Unicef will make an off road how to TV show for you, but until then this is not a charity and there will be commercials, and products in the show.

Just a suggestion, but I think the show should do a Rock Bouncer build.

i think 4x4 show sucks really seem like mostly all they ever do is bolt on stuff for jeeps

Doesn't seem like you actually watch the show. Sure they built some jeeps, but far from only jeeps and bolt-ons. Glad to see it'll be continuing on a new network.

Don't listen to these yay-hoos Ian, show kicks ass! Please keep the show rolling, I've learned that I've been going about building **** wrong at least 4 times!

However, the bouncer idea is a good one. Seems you had a good start with the Duramax buggy!

I've watched the show for as long as I can remember. Sometimes I fast forward through the stuff that's not applicable to me and sometimes I watch anyway.

Only recommendation I've got for the future show is to see a build more often. IE the Duramax buggy, S10 truggy, Scout, aluminum CJ, mud truck, Diesel Sami, dirt cheap wheeler, cheaper Raptor, etc. seems like it is so long between episodes with some of these that I forget all about them.

Just build y'all a bouncer then start competing! Keep on keeping on though.

Since we are throwing out ideas. I think you should do a segment on what it takes to keep a rig race ready in a bouncer type race series. I have a buggy I can donate and run in a series if need be. :****:

Seriously I would like to see a show done on flywheel and rear wheel horsepower. Basically real world what is the loss in power through the drivetrains like is commonly run these days.

I think you all do an excellent job and am glad the show continues on. Thanks

Ian, there is a lot of talk about a bouncer. That should be you next project!

That's exactly what he's building on the first show. Lamborghini Aventador inspired with a big block Chevy.

Ian, did all the shows get to keep all the stuff that you've got partially built like the Duramax buggy?

X2!!!
Seriously, I HAAAAATE a chebby, but I have a serious hard-on for that thing!

Always was a big fan of Ian's because I felt he was the one guy in all those shows that really knew his ****. Most of the guys on the other shows seemed like they were just really reading a teleprometer where it seemed as if Ian was actually trying to teach you something he already knew. Also loved his articles in CRAWL and hope to see him continue to do well in the future.

I've always loved that show and admired Ian's work, glad he is going forward with it on another channel. I would def like to see more trail rig/budget,/driveway fab junkyard scrounging stuff and less new jeep bolt on ****

I think Spike is bringing it back under Powernation. When looking through the facebook page and my DVR, future shows are airing on CBS Sports,NBC Sports, and SpikeTV, all at different times. Same shows, just different times.

Ian, will the driveway rescue continue with Powernation/Xtreme Offroad?
