Texas Metal | Slicing a 1960 Willys Jeep for Body Expansion

On season 5, episode 1, Bill Carlton and the gang split a nearly perfect 1960 Willys Jeep in four pieces to make it longer, wider, and meaner. Oh, and did we mention they're going to drop in a Hellcat engine when it's ready?

Elon Musk released the Cybertruck in December 2023 with an incredible claim: The 845-hp Tesla Cybertruck Beast can tow a Porsche 911 down the drag strip quicker than a 911 alone can make the run. The video was a brilliant stunt to showcase the Cybertruck’s awesome power, but it wasn’t long before people started to question its legitimacy. When Jason Fenske of Engineering Explained figured out that Tesla never ran the quarter mile, we took it on ourselves to find the truth. Borrowing a Cybertruck from Out Of Spec, enlisting the help of Jason, and drawing on MotorTrend's 75 years of automotive testing experience, we staged the race exactly as Tesla presented it, only this time we ran all the way out to 1,320 feet. Can the Tesla Cybertruck really beat a Porsche 911 over the quarter mile? Watch along to find out.

This episode of Roadkill powered by Dodge features a special guest cohost, JP magazine editor Rick Péwé, who has been doing barn-find rescues and road trips with David Freiburger since before there was a Roadkill. Freiburger and Péwé are at it again here, revisiting a 1946 Willys flatfender Jeep they first pulled from the fields of Utah back in 2001. The engine blew up a few miles into that trip 16 years ago, so the Jeep was left untouched in Freiburger’s garage for at least a dozen years—until now. After uncovering the Willys from piles of long-forgotten speed parts and boxes, the guys give the engine a super-cheap rebuild, fix up the brakes, and hit the road. Will the Roadkill curse strike even with Péwé at the wheel? We think you know the answer, but don’t worry—nothing will stop the team from big action with a small Jeep. Roadkill is back to normal with cohost Mike Finnegan next time. Though, come to think of it, this Jeep boondoggle is pretty normal for Roadkill, too.
