In this full immersion journey through the world of maximum off-roading, learn what it's like to blow the carbon out of your system as we trace the history of the four-wheel drive vehicle. From the annual Baja 1000-mile race to the Paris-to-Dakar rally, off-roading has become an international sport for motorized thrill seekers. Drive along in your Jeep, dune buggy, Hummer, or SUV for this high-adrenaline, fun-filled romp as we see why 4x4s go where no one has gone before! TV G

BTW, the first two are the ones (actually, different views on the same run) that I was referring to as insane. The other's at least border on sanity, but that one climb was just ridiculous...

I think you guys are thinking of the 4x4 thing on the discovery channel. The one on the history channel doesn't talk about the icelandic guys I don't think. I watched the whole thing and didn't see that on there. Who knows, could have come on during a bathroom break. They did show some pretty nice rock crawlin clips though...

there seems to be some confusion here
TLC has the icelandic racing
History Channel has modern marvels like the history of Jeep,Rover,Hummer and stuff,
BTW i was watchin the history channel modern marvels 4x4 today and it was pretty cool.:D
