When the crew from Petersen's 4-Wheel & Off-Road buy low buck 4x4's and pit them against each other in the Arizona desert, it can only be one thing... Cheap Truck Challenge! On this episode of Dirt Every Day, watch as Rick Pewe and his 1989 Jeep Cherokee, Harry Wagner and his 1978 Ford F-150, and host Fred Williams and his 1993 Toyota Landcruiser battle the budget ($4000 total bought and built) and each other to see who's beater 4-wheeler can survive rock crawling, hill climbing and the mud bog obstacle course. Will their low dollar dream machines make it home, or are they a few cents short? Will their freakishly wild hair-do's help them get down the trail, or just make them look like some ridiculous '80's garage band? Will you tune in again, or have these knuckleheads pushed their luck for viewer delight?
