This episode of Top Gear was actually pretty awesome. They
were all told to but huge trucks that were capable and able to drive in deep
snow. Once that was done, they met up in Iceland seeing their trucks for the
first time. Tanner chooses a 1979 Ford Bronco with a huge lift sitting on 44
inch tires. Adam got a 1984 Chevy k30 also with a huge lift but sitting on 49
inch tires and last but not least, Rutledge got a 1973 International Scout 2
which also had a huge lift and on 44 inch tires. The trucks that they chose
were very large and pretty bad ass looking. Their challenge was related to all
the European trucks because they all conquered all American built trucks on
their off-roading in Iceland where it’s all just piles and piles of snow. With
their trucks, they had to prove to all the European trucks that they could also
make it with really old vehicles. They were told to drive partly on land to get
to their first destination that introduced their tires to mud, water, ice and
snow. Once they reached their, they would spend the night in cabins along the
way. But keep in mind that the cabins that they stayed in were completely
covered in snow and partially abandoned. They also had to cross deep river
banks and had to make it up to their final destination which was a volcano. As I
watched they show, I kept on pressing fast forward because this episode was
very entertaining and actually a very big step up from their previous episode.
Going off road, traveling through barley visible snow/fog and really deep snow
made this episode awesome. All though as you would expect, each of them
struggled a lot just to get through snow/ice but they had to team work it out
to get past that speed bump. Each of the challenges they had to overcome such
as passing through rivers, races along the beach, traveling through 10ft plus
deep snow were all really really good challenges and really good ways of
getting the audience involved in this show. This episode was one of the best
episodes in this season of Top gear. Can’t wait for the next one!
