New Series from Heavy Metal Concepts; Terminal Apex

Here's Episode 1 from Terminal Apex!

"Joshua Cadillac Mazerolle has managed to create one of the craziest Toyota mini trucks the world has ever seen, by mere accident and circumstances mixed with determination. Sporting power numbers dwarfing even some dedicated track builds by way of a twin turbo LS V8, his 1977 Toyota Hilux, aptly nicknamed "Deathwish" has captured the attention of people all across the country, with humble beginnings, to a still humble, yet loud, presence."

I follow him on Insta, he gets pulled over about every week. Very entertaining. Seems like a genuinely nice human.

 

[Spork]

That's cool

 

[Kevin B.]

That is amazingly badass. I love that he's got time for that Mad Max body kit but not to clean up the battery wiring or to get the oil cans out of the bed.

This is what you get if you ask Ken Block to host RoadKill

Episode 2-

"This custom overland 1974 Jeep J20 pickup is any red blooded American's dream. Old iron V8, 40" tires, a rooftop tent, and a slew of custom fabrication and gear sets this vintage FSJ apart from the crowd in a big way.

Troy and Tony of Iamroamr set out to save a classic Jeep pickup that had fallen into despair, and it ended up becoming something much more."

This is one I've been waiting for since I heard they shot the footage! Episode 3-

"Built to take on anything, this custom one-off Jeep camper is the ultimate overland off the grid machine, born from the mind of Dave Harriton, owner of American Expedition Vehicles (AEV). Meticulously designed and built, Outpost II has everything on board to not only survive off road in the backcountry, but do it in comfort, with minimal off road performance compromise."

Episode 4 is out!

"This 1957 Fuelie Corvette is all about the experience of driving, the connection to the machine through fuel and fire. How rare is a fuel injected 1957 Corvette? In Richard Huxley's C1 Corvette's case, it is 1 of 1. In his hands for the last 47 years, his Vette is truly 1 of 1200 if you do the math, or 1 of 200 when you really whittle it down, but hes made it his, and left it his. The ultimate example of a car that is used merely for its mechanical payoff, and the love of driving. To some, it appears rough, to others, it appears cherished."

Episode 5!

"The Willys MB is one of the most legendary, and most recognizable automobiles ever manufactured. Born to fight a war against evil, the Jeep went on to capture the hearts and minds of Americans, and in this case, Matt McCowan. Matt took a beast of burden and transformed it into a V8 equipped trail toy, without losing sight of its historical roots. With a custom frame by Shannon Campbell of Campbell Enterprises, the Willys was reborn for duty on the trails of the American southwest. With LS power to turn the wheels, and big tires to conquer the hardest of trails, its a head turner for sure, and one to make anyone smile (except if you were, or are, with Axis forces). When Matt is not busy racing his Ultra4 car, chances are he's driving this...and loving it."

Best quote ever!

"It's like riding a bald eagle into a sunset, with an American flag off your back."

Episode 6, you all probably recognize this one!

"Equipped with a custom bed, custom body, custom suspension, custom drivetrain, and custom patina, there isn't much about this Jeep YJ that isn't designed from the ground up. Ian Johnson, TV host, owner of Big Tire Garage, and all around mechanical wizard, took an idea he had in his head, and sculpted it to make it his own in the form of his "Shop Truck" build. Inspired by the AEV Brute, the Shop Truck takes on its own personality; utilitarian, capable, and honest. And of course...V8 power. "

Episode 7 and the end for the first season of Terminal Apex!

"This 1981 Series 3 Stage 1 Land Rover can be described in a few words...spartan, functional, rugged, utilitarian, and a capable classic. Joe Polcari found the perfect truck overseas in Australia, and after deciding he couldn't live without it, had it put on a ship and brought his way to Connecticut. It exemplifies everything "Land Rover" from the color, to the tires, to the classic styling. A newer Rover V8 has taken the place of the original motor, and a few custom dents have been added, but otherwise this is a true-to-life original old iron off roader from simpler times, with a design that has stayed timeless to this day.
