Why don't they show it with a bed full of lumber or hay, or hauling a 5th wheel trailer full of cattle? I think the urban cowboy market died with the economy.

The Smoking Tire, huh? Is Matt Farah that much of a star to torpedo an entire Web Cast? Couldn't they pick up (pun intended) someone else instead of giving this guy free reign to start another web cast?
I guess I just don't understand the demographics of these shows....

@UDMan:
I'm so with you. Farah grates on me. Big time. I would make some comments here about his appearance, but A) I just got back from repairing homes for Jesus and B) I don't want to risk getting banned...though that would be very meta.

@Al Navarro: With the exception of a certain British program, I've yet to come across any video-format automotive coverage that doesn't annoy me.
It's either too slow (I can read much faster than normal speech), too short on detail/description, or too over-done (HEY GUYS!!! WE'RE HERE CHECKING OUT THE SICK NEW DODGE AVENGER!!).
Usually it's all 3.

I like deCadenet's "victory by design" series....thought that's not really a episodic vehicle.

This is about the only new truck I have ever wanted.

Sure it looks like a nice truck but that suspension test in the first few minutes of the video could use an upgrade. You may skip ahead to around 2:30 to see what I mean.

@joshman: That's pretty damn cool. But the combination of the German voice-over and the blues music is a bit odd.

I used to laugh at guys driving inappropriate trucks with unnecessary capabilities. No more. I'll pay any price, even becoming a stereotype, for this truck.
Gotta go iron the brim on my cap, brah.

No really, I love this truck as well.

@eggwich for amnesty: For my money, I'll still take a ProDrive subie, but I do respect the Raptor. It's an off-road tour-de-force, and it's the real deal, unlike, I dunno, the H2.
The first immaculately polished one I see in a downtown area get a 5-gallon bucket of mud, though.

@Thrashy supports the banned CSRs: Subies don't allow you to make "Ford Country" jokes, either, and that's a big part of my schtick/personality. Brah.

@VeeArrrSix: Awesome.
Sublime were, as I believe the kids say these days, 'ill shit'. 'Dawg.'
Not usually much depth, though, but they knew it.

@FP - in black for the Jezebel Nine: + 1 on Sublime being good.
The claim's much easier to defend it you pretend their catalog ended (rather than started) with 40oz to Freedom.

Apparently "COMPENSATION" wouldn't fit across the grille.

How long until this vehicle is stolen at gunpoint and the crew is forced to walk back to the border?

(just kidding, I was down in Rosarito about 2 months ago... had a great time)

I like it when Jalop partners with other media like Pop Mech, C&D, and Pickuptrucks.com. It's really easy to get into the Jalop state of mind about cars, and bringing in the other viewpoints opens things up.

It also feels like I'm getting a lot more for the money I'm not paying to visit this site.
