    Seeing this has made me realize how far this program has come. Shaun, you are a mastermind, bro. There's no way ANYONE could have foreseen this trip when it was just a Aussie 4wd print mag. What you have accomplished for not only your domestic wheeling scene, but for wheelers all over the world is LEGENDARY.
    Graham, you are the friend that EVERY wheeler wants to have out there with them. Years of experience and talent has come through in this episode IN SPADES (even though you tried to kill Pete a bit) and your constant positive attitude and dedication to the team is exactly what the world needs right now.
    THANK YOU for coming and enjoying our trails, and I think I can speak for every single American fan when I say "This... is as good as it gets"
    Peace and Love from the Beast Coast, USA!!!

      As an Aussie who is lucky enough to have spent plenty of time in El Dorado County and surrounds as well as other great Ca and US destinations, I can say that the US has far better natural environments than Oz, with Ca in particular being the crown jewel for its spectacular variety. I have traveled quite extensively on Oz as well and I think for me what really blew me away around Lake Tahoe/Northern Ca in particular compared to here was the sheer number of lakes (dams) with spectacular surrounds and scenery and the snow covered peaks. You just don't get that here, and the people you meet in US in general are more polite and friendly than Aussies as well imo (gonna cop some local hate for that, I'm sure).

    Awesome trip guys. Love seeing our friends from Australia wheeling one of our legendary trails.
    The Great Mark Smith started the Jeep jamboree. The Jeeps started running the rubicon for actual trail use started in the fifties. Throughout its history Jeeps have been crossing in vehicles equipped with stock tires and even the Willys with military NDT tires.
    Any tire size can conquer the rubicon with the proper line and vehicle recovery gear. Not always easy but rolling over obstacles is no where near as much fun as working to get through the obstacles.
    So remember the old guys like myself have made it in stock vehicles.

      You don't want to run a rear lock, you need a front. If you run just a rear you will have zero control, you need a front to help pull you through obstacles. I run 35's and I don't uses my lockers for a good portion of the Rubicon because I like the challenge. My sister runs 33's with lockers and she had no problems on the Rubicon.

    Couple of things… Really glad you guys had a good time here in our country😀 Number one, if you need heavy cream and milk in the same recipe, there’s another product you can buy it was called half-and-half and it’s exactly what it sounds like half cream and half milk… also, the reason that the skin on the sausage was so thin is, it’s actually an edible casing that you didn’t need to take off because it’s meant to be eaten unless your recipe calls for the sausage to be mashed up or broken up like ground sausage but if you just wanted to cut the sausage into small chunks like you did in this recipe, there was no need to remove the casing.
