Just watch all the names that they put across the bottom of the screen when anyone new is talking. You can't miss Corbin that way. My 4Runner is in the background then. It's right after the part where they show highly modified "Jeeps" with engine swaps and thorough tube roll cages and minimal aftermarket sheet metal where there's almost nothing stock left on the Jeep and then Jimmy says "Yeah, they're just Jeeps, nothing special really".

They might actually have some footage of the bar stool races on the next episode when they broadcast the rest of their footage (studs and bare rubber) hopefully within the next year.

A search on Pirate showed that the "Extreme 4x4" hour was an old re-run. The guy that got his hand squashed definitely did something wrong to apparently have his hand near or against the winch. I don't know why they couldn't spool out the winch, but they were sitting in water so maybe something shorted out in the cables.

Yeah, I caught that line about the Jeeps being pretty stock except studded tires. Yeah, right!

That's correct about the Extreme 4x4 episode being old. I saw it a few months ago.

Good theory about the winch being shorted out. If the producers of the show weren't Hollywood airheads, they might have found out what the problem was and explained it to the audience. I get frustrated with these shows because there's so little effort made to actually convey information. Mostly just a lot of fast moving clips.
