Top Gear, Jeep VS Bronco VS Blazer on tomorrow I think.
I saw a promo for an episode of Top Gear on History Channel that was going to put a Jeep, Bronco and Blazer to the test on a trail to see which does better. I was looking at the History channel web site to see if I could get more info but couldn't find it. I didn't see the whole promo but I heard it as I was walking into the room. I think it will be on tomorrow. I don’t think that they will be using a JK for the test though. It should be interesting to watch none the less.

Thanks for the clarification guys! I was changing the oil on the Jeep and walked into the house to wash my hands when I heard it. I ran into the living room but just caught the tail end of the promo. I had to come into work for a few hours so I didn't have a chance to see it again.

Have to say I was disappointed. I was expecting a lot more. It started out ok but it really didn't prove anything. If the guy in the bronco actually knew how to drive it would have made it up that rock easily without breaking the axle. That was the first time I have ever see that show. Flipping something on its side and dragging it across a paved road or rapping it in carpet doesn't really qualify as "off roading or trail riding". Oh well.

Though I did enjoy the humor in the show and the relationships between the competitors.

Thanks for the heads up - set the dvr.
We don't normally watch the USA version. Kind of partial to the BBC guys. Plus I get my taste of super cars for a bit watching them. Ok fine - the accents don't hurt either LOL!
