Xtreme 4x4

Xtreme 4x4 is a half hour series airing on Spike TV that began in January 2005 as part of Spike's weekend Powerblock line up. The show uses a how-to format, where the hosts build or modify vehicles in order to turn them into off-road-oriented rigs. They also periodically show various forms of off-road racing from across the United States. These include such events as rock crawling, desert racing, sand drags, mud racing, and trail riding adventures. The hosts, Ian Johnson and Jessi Combs, were selected as part of a publicized, nationwide search for hosts where viewers were encouraged to send in their videos and resumes to Spike TV executives. Both hosts have appeared on other automotive shows including Discovery Channel's Monster Garage and TLC's Overhaulin'.

0.030 min

The Ultimate Tow Rig makes a return after Ian and Jessi travel to Southern California to help build the ultimate power plant - the first ever custom twin turbo Duramax diesel engine designed by Gale Banks. We build the motor from the inside out... with high tech components, to the awesome dual blowers that will eventually command over 700 horsepower, and 1000 ft lbs of torque! Later in this episode, Ian and Jessi bring the motor back to Xtreme and drop it between the frame rails of the Gorilla. Also in this episode, they are considered a different "breed" of off roaders - mud boggers! We travel to Monroe, Louisiana for some mud in your eye, ears, nose, throat, grill, cab etc! You get the point.
