BTW, I got a little screen time on the episode, and my boss Larry got to talk up the PSC gear a bit. Too bad they misspelled his last name.
The Poison Spyder stuff was the best part of the build. I was all excited when I saw PSC stuff arrive and hoped the build would evolve into something more.

But when they put 20" wheels on the build plan, I knew where the build was headed after that. It was the big Zippo on the back, however, that took it over the top for me and made the whole build lame. I would also liked to have seen more on the brushed paint and the supercharger. It was hard to get a sense of what the paint was like on TV, and they did not even try to do a burnout at the end or show off the RIPP supercharger.

Liked it all but the grille. It isn't a Jeep without the classic grille. My wife agreed she walked in and said it looked good but that grille is ugly.
