In the Wolf River Valley, five teams embark on on an off-road trek across the entire state of Alaska. Facing rivers, mountains, and overgrown mining roads, teams must work together to conquer the wild northern terrain. Alaska natives Butch and Bill are ready to beat the competition in their rig, the aptly named, "Warwagon". Brother and sister team Pete and Shey bet on a slow-and-steady strategy while the Leigh brothers, Brent and Scott, rely on their tenacity to get them through. In Rover 1, Jason and Glen's overconfidence may be their downfall while Rich and Carl, the only "lower 48'ers" in the group, find they might be outmatched by the rugged Alaskan outback.
Continuing their trek north into the remote McKinley River Basin, Butch and Bill look to extend their lead as the five teams traverse narrow mining trails, sheer ridges, and rapid glacier rivers.
As the teams push deeper into the Alaskan Interior, the terrain becomes less forgiving. Vehicles are pushed to the breaking point as the Warriors encounter trails littered with sharp boulders, swift rivers, and steep ascents. The five teams reach new highs, conquering the most extreme elevations of the trip so far, and new lows as Alaska deals a potentially fatal blow to one team's dream of becoming the Ultimate Off-Road Warrior.
There's blood in the water with Rover out of the running. The competition intensifies as the four remaining teams face an onslaught of permafrost bogs, treacherous alpine ridges, and hidden mud holes. Bill and Butch set their sights on lower forty-eighters, Rich and Carl, hoping to push an already stressed Super Jeep into catastrophic failure. Meanwhile, the two sibling teams, outgunned by Super Jeep's sophistication and War Wagon's power, decide working together may be their best bet to bring the big boys down.
As the warriors enter the second half of the expedition, the unspoken truce of "no man left behind" is put to the test. Butch and Bill continue their dogged pursuit over steep hills and valley bogs, attempting to overtake Super Jeep.
Surprising his fellow off-roaders, Rover rejoins the race, dropping a bomb in the other teams' strategies. An ailing Carl forces Rich to try his hand at the wheel. Butch and Bill kick it into high gear trying to catapult War Wagon back to the top of the standings. Pete and Shey decide that it's time they stop putting other teams' needs before their own. And Brent and Scott, tired of relying on the other teams, learn some self-reliance on the tundra.
