Extreme 4X4 TV

I am not affiliated with this show or network in any way. It's just that I have been really impressed with this show and I can't wait to see it tomorrow and Sunday.

The title of the show describes it well. What it doesn't describe is the young blonde fabricator and four wheel drive fanatic that is on the show. She is the real deal. She welds and fabricates, does mechanical work, drives and on and on, AND she doesn't hurt your eyes.

If you watch this show I expect that you will like it. It comes on at noon CST Saturday and Sunday on Spike TV.

Enjoy it,
Doc

I watched it about 2 weeks ago. Since I don't have TV here, I have to wait until I visit my friends or folks....1.5 hours away or 3 hours away, respectively. I will admit, she seems to know a bit about stuff, or maybe her script-writer does...who cares, she's pretty attractive. Not my type, though. I couldn't stand a woman running around the shop trying to tell ME how to do something.

EDIT!!!!

There is one main issue I have. Although midriff shirts (on chicks)are HOT, I don't suggest wearing one while using a torch, plasma cutter, welder, grinder, or cutoff wheel like she does....

Her welding technique drives me nuts. Other than that, its nice to see a show where they are fabricating stuff rather than just bolting it on.

Cody,

I've yet to see or hear her give orders. She simply works putting all that stuff together and talking to the camera from time to time. She knows what she's doing.

I've worked for a woman before and she was one of the best bosses I ever had. People are different regardless of their sex. There are some women that there is no WAY I could work for them, but the same goes for some men.

Proeliator,

What about her welding techniques bothers you? I noticed her welding in short pulses with a MIG and I saw her MIG welding with no gloves. Have I missed something?

Have a great day guys,
Doc

Sorry to offend!!!

If there's one thing that you should know about me it's that I VERY RARELY mean anything I say (unless it's technical). Take what you read in my post and put kind of a contumelious/satirical twist on it. I by no means meant anything by it.....I'd LOVE for my wife to be able to do the things this chick can, but since the 'better half' can ruin a bowl of Corn Flakes, I think I'm better off working alone. Besides, the chick on TV could probably teach me a thing or two about making stuff (but that's about it because I am a fabrication GOD!! ).

So take what I say and laugh at it because that's my mission in life.


Cody



EDIT: By the way, what do you do with your custom-built Dodge Durango after its 15 minutes of fame are up?? Sell it on eBay, of course!!!! Remember this one from the May '04 issue of Off Road Magazine? I do because it still sits in my bathroom magazine rack.

i remember seeing that durango. that issue was one of the first offroad magazines i ever got and i thought that truck was soooo cool. i dunno, now i just doesnt seem as cool. but its still nice, ill give em that. plus i glad he didnt ghetto-out the interior like most guys with show trucks do. i wonder how much real offroading he's done in it.

I liked the yellow buggy they showed last weekend

im gonna try and catch that show today, i seen it a couple weeks ago and all they did was successfully tear a ranger down to nothing, and start adding an extended cab?? i seen they can take stuff apart, of course so can anyone with a plasma cutter!! Ill find out today if they can actually build stuff with a stitch of common sense.It is very cool to see a woman actually doing work while looking good, unlike that girl on overhaulin' that just adds quirky comments occasionally, she is fine but doesnt know crap about engines.....whats great is seeing a guy like Chip Foose doing his handy work, granted these cars are probably going to see nothing but shows, none-the-less they are purely works of art and functional at the same time....anybody can feel free to put my 2wd F-150 on that show and see what he can do, but hands off my 4x4, its ALL mine!!!!!

The girl from Extreme was on Overhaulin' a few weeks back too..I forget which project she was part of. Pretty sure it was taped before Extreme 4x4 started on the air.

Cody,

I wasn't offended, but I did think that your comments were a little "out there." Now that I know that it was all tongue in cheek, I understand.

SwOkcOffRoader,

Last week they started building the roll cage for the Ranger and she can definitely do more than just use a plasma cutter.

Have a great day,
Doc

Jessi had to get her appendix removed


But they did a decent job on that jeep (they still could've done it cheaper ), that rti ramp they built was pretty neat, and up until now i never really did understand how they scored RTI scores before that.

i kinda liked the shackles they put on the jeep, i bet they would work alright on the rear of the front leafs on a Ford, maybe even the rear shackles on the back as well, i wonder how durable they really are...........
