In this epic adventure by Donut, the team sets out on a daring 1,000-mile expedition through the unforgiving Arctic Circle in vehicles purchased for a mere pittance on Facebook Marketplace. Zach opts for a V6 Dodge Caravan, a massive purple jelly bean of a machine, while Justin goes for a rugged 1990 Nissan D21 hard body truck. Modifications are made to enhance the vehicles' capabilities, with challenges like the Dodge's oil light issue and the Nissan's malfunctioning wipers adding to the thrill.

As they hit the road towards Fairbanks, the team faces treacherous conditions, with the Dodge struggling to hit 45 mph and the Nissan encountering body alignment problems. The nerve-wracking drive alongside massive 80,000 lb trucks adds to the tension, but the team pushes on, testing the limits of their vehicles and their own endurance. Despite the hardships, they persevere, showcasing the resilience of their budget-friendly machines in the face of adversity.

The journey serves as a true test of grit and determination, with each mile conquered bringing new challenges and unexpected obstacles. From icy roads to engine issues, the team navigates through it all, showcasing the spirit of adventure and camaraderie that drives them forward. As they push towards their destination, the team's bond grows stronger, united in their quest to conquer the Arctic Circle in vehicles that defy the odds.
