Overland '74 Jeep J20 Pickup | S1 E02 | Terminal Apex

This custom overland 1974 Jeep J20 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 in this episode of Terminal Apex (S1 E02).
Troy and Tony set out to save a classic Jeep pickup that had fallen into despair, and it ended up becoming something much more.

As a 25yr film maker I'm usually very critical of videos that try to capture scenery and a story at once. It's an artform that few possess, but this video does it right, and more. Perfect blend of story, character, Jeep, scenery and music. Well done HMC, well done.👍 Add to that the amazing ROAMR...wow. What a Jeep. I'd love to find a J20 to build with many of the same ideas.

[@HeavyMetalConcepts]

This means a lot! Feedback like this is why we do what we do.

[@trentkoch5247]

I second that third that fourth that damn straight from the heart

[@invisibilianone6288]

Other than the music volume overpowering the voice....

[@larrypeoples1777]

The year I was born, need one of these in my life

[@jackhook4192]

There's nothing like a jeep period.

[@owenluchies5734]

Now that’s what I call a Jeep, I always appreciate it when people preserve the past in a vehicle and make it new again❤️great job guys!!!

[@knives357]

only jeep I'd ever own. love these year of jeep trucks

[@twincinema05]

the tear-jerking music is pretty cool but I would have loved to hear it sing a little.

[@HeavyMetalConcepts]

Noted!

[@HeavyMetalConcepts]

I will say, when we originally shot the footage for this piece it was for a different goal, but eventually became part of this series, so that is why it is missing the natural motor sound. The rest of the episodes all have engine notes

[@DonnyMerrill]

I love seeing old vehicles being resurrected and used again.

[@invisibilianone6288]

Cool build😎 The grill design has always been my favorite, on these jeeps.

[@kenwelch198]

My first jeep was a 69, J-20. We called it the tank. It was almost indestructible! Great job saving this iconic vehicle for future generations to see.

[@halredden3509]

I've got a 79 Cherokee chief, this video provides loads of motivation. Excellent video

[@phillipbouchard4197]

As the second owner of a 1966 Jeep J-2000 Gladiator 7'-0" Pickup It is always great to see other old J -series Jeep's preserved and put to work. My old Jeep was my Dad's and I still snowplow my driveway with it. Great job on your 1974 !

[@jaydenkrispin]

Now that's one of the coolest trucks ever

[@bruceklassen8261]

That truck is outstanding

[@tthams73]

74 J20 was the first vehicle I drove. We hauled wood, hay, gravel… with that thing. It was unstoppable! I’ve always had an eye for them. Very well done! Thank you for sharing!! TT

[@williamj.barnhartjr.3108]

I totally agree with the builder of the Jeep in this video your car or truck is part of you I have a 1978 CJ7 that I just love I'll keep and pass it down to one of my kids. Thanks for sharing

[@weezerfan999]

I have a 75’ J10 and I was always into Jeep and overland/trucks, so to me it’s perfect. I dug it out of a barn and I’m doing the work myself. Though I have no formal training. This video gives me a lot of hope of what I want it to be. I want to to be like as original as possible but the temptation to go all in like a build like this is there. Great work

[@freddyzacarias2103]

As a Mechanical Engineer from more than 24 years. I just want to say that this kind of project is the pinacle of a creative life. The whole world needs more guys like you in order to re enginering old machines and to get the shiny result you had performed over this jewel to become it in a master piece of art . Pure, powerfull and refinent blended all together. Keep on doing such great job and just enjoy the results.

[@vikotto]

I hope these Jeep’s catch up to the popularity of the Chevys and Fords.

[@raychilcote5558]

Great video and story. Did a frame off build of a CJ-5 doing everything by myself. As parts broke, built it back up stronger. Won't ever let it go. Now building a J-20 with my son, passing on and creating memories.

[@johnnyd687]

I've always entertained a j20 4 door cab combined with back of Grand Cherokee. Basically a Bronco Centurion Conversion, but a Jeep. All on a lifted Dodge chassis with a Cummins diesel.

[@imadechili8842]

Just saw this badass rig today at cars and coffee in San Clemente!

[@HeavyMetalConcepts]

awesome!

[@TotalDissolvedSalamanders]

Such a great build, I remember seeing it at overland west a couple of years ago and I got so excited! It's really a beautiful build and work done to it is pretty awing. I cant wait to see what ROAMR does next, but the J20 will always have a special place.

[@HeavyMetalConcepts]

The J20 is one bad ass platform, what they have done with it is the stuff dreams are made of for car guys.

[@hugestudiosdenver]

Wow ! Awesome Rig !!! thanks for sharing !

[@ymcaicedo]

What a nice story and great video. The J10 is one of my favorite vehicle ever. Great job

[@FunctionFactory]

I love this series. Very well done and epically cinematic with a great story. Keep up this series!

It's a beautiful truck one day I'll have or build something that awesome.

[@StevenAdams777]

I heard somewhere you were doing a piece on this truck and knew it would be good. Another cool vehicle, more great cinematography, editing, and story. 👍🏼🎥

[@HeavyMetalConcepts]

Thanks Steve, stoked to hear you are liking it

[@StevenAdams777]

@@HeavyMetalConcepts Absolutely! Over the years, I've often looked to your work for creative inspiration.

[@knobbiesshreaded3137]

Nice dirt roads. Did you do any rock crawling with this Queen? Would like to have seen more of the nuts and bolts build. I too worship in the outdoor world but, without the sappy sweet Muzak.

[@sisentertainment2224]

I like your car it's awesome

[@Channel_1728]

Wow Super Wow, I am working on a J10 LS swap and you have the aesthetic intent I am looking for. How can I fiind out more about what you did and what worked and what did not????

[@kevinmoss970]

Cool truck, although that axe head bonnet ornament looks kinda dangerous in terms of pedestrian safety. Lol

[@NetworkDesign3598]

I'm interested in the door mirrors and how they were wired and such

[@landc8442]

Nice looking truck. Would be tough to use a single cab for overlanding since your sitting for very long periods. Usually single cabs are used more for work trucks.

[@jamesbrede8700]

Your a dumb shit !!!

[@josephbradley7089]

Love the jeep....is that trail open to the public? And how do i get there? That scenery is one of a kind just like your build

[@dudleybaggerman9574]

So u had someone Else do the bobing and the suspension , wat did U do OR did U just have a few other shop's do all the work ??? Did u do motor work or wiring or Wat did U do ???

This one gets me right in the feels 😢

[@yomigo9]

😍😍😍

[@TheLittlered1961]

Love the build. Have had 3 gladiator Jeeps in my family. J4000 and 2 Wagoneers. Several J10 Jeeps too. Just one question. Why the 401? My preferred would have been the 390 with the steel crank. My brother did that to his J10 and it was a monster. Cost him a few k on one speeding ticket.

[@74863289]

401 Asoa has a forged crank.

[@justinvernal]

Great👌🇺🇸

[@CruisingTheLand]

Will Gentile... come video my Modified FJ40! The Green Machine...

[@RefinerSimilitude]

Great production, but unfortunately we have to imagine the great throaty sound with the exhaust and the 401.

[@hurstbrandfarms]

I was waiting for him to say his dog died while the shop built this for him and he wrote a poem too...... way cool Jeep though!

[@HeavyMetalConcepts]

Sorry to disappoint!

[@kre8iveoffice599]

Now thats a truck, love everything about this beauty !!! Whats the price ?

[@jacobshields6942]

Depends. Are you referring to the cost it took to create it, or his I dont wanna sell it" price

[@alexb5275]

As a two seater, where do the family and friends go?

[@jamesbrede8700]

So I have a 1982 j20 .I saw that your front bumper came from rugged ridge ! My truck has the same front as yours they didn't change them ! So how can I get the same bumper as your truck ? I need the name of the model bumper you have so I can buy one ! Thanks !

[@joecruz4846]

That thing is sick. I have a 79 Jeep Cherokee golden eagle I’m wanting to restore. I know it has Dana 44s , should I build those or toss them ?? Replacing the motor with a 6.0. What’s your thought. As a overlander. Not a crawler

[@superdupercop18]

This is a beautiful video. Where was it filmed? That canyon is breathtaking

[@mernman0]

I second this! Where was it filmed?

[@superdupercop18]

I messaged the owner! He said Moab

[@PNW_Rodeo]

Where is this filmed at? Beautiful scenery and excellent video.

[@HeavyMetalConcepts]

Moab, UT

[@SevenSlotSociety]

Fuck. The amazing Jeep aside, the cinematic quality of this is out of control. Just know, I look up to you.

[@Sir_knight_trooper]

Whats the tent on the roof called?

[@smokethirteen]

Martin Williamson roof tent

[@thesetwohands6982]

awesome jeep I love it . I am restoring my grandpas 78 J10 I am upgrading engine, trans, transfer case and axles. I started my jeep restore on KZbin last week if you care to follow along. great job! I also have an overland 08 Ford I am building a custom overland vehicle out of with a Cummins, Allison transmission and 4 link suspension front and rear with an custom rear camper/sleeper. we will be taking it to SEMA next year to debut it for the customer. Awesome work I love the jeep.

[@matthewsmith5374]

I pray to god I never get hit by this thing.

[@RB_CO]

Very cool truck. Great video, even the narration, but the emotional music has got to go.

[@jdenmark1287]

heaven help you if you ever run into a pedestrian with that tomahawk in the hood. A bull bar is still excusable by the insurance companies but you will be footing the lawsuit bill on that one.

[@Kevbot73]

[@sumofl]

man good camera work and editing though the audio dropped the ball coming in too intense, in the voiceover he talked alot about how good the engine sounded but i never heard anything but the overpoweringly loud romanticised music...

[@jasonwingo6831]

Nice Jeep for sure. But Between the music and story of his boyhood I felt myself loose all masculinity. So started driving a Tesla. And now I play this music as drive it. It’s so sweet.

[@HeavyMetalConcepts]

You are extremely bad ass

[@jakemyers1030]

The music is always drowning out the story. Turn it down!

[@gamesofcontent]

zoom out. Im not a dentist. I am not trying to check his teeth for cavities.

[@GooordoX]

Bad ass built. Would’ve enjoyed the sound of the engine instead of the cheesy music.

[@HeavyMetalConcepts]

You're cheesy.

[@texashankpalmer876]

I feel like I'm watching a tribute video at a funeral.. This jeep is SICK but man that music choice haha. Doesn't fit this vid.

[@flipwils11]

Please stop with the license free mood music in automotive videos. Everyone's video features the same drone aerial footage, slow pan-out, while three annoying chords slowly play over and over and over.... the music is rubbish and distracts from an otherwise great gearhead video.

[@HeavyMetalConcepts]

No

[@flipwils11]

@@HeavyMetalConcepts glad you are responsive to constructive feedback

[@HeavyMetalConcepts]

@@flipwils11 what you said is not constructive. You said the music is rubbish and to "Stop using it." If you'd like me to begin using mainstream music, I will need 10s of 1000s of dollars to cover licensing cost. This is why people making automotive videos use "license free mood music."

[@flipwils11]

@@HeavyMetalConcepts sorry let me rephrase. The story and imagery is superb. I saved the link to bringatrailer all week so I could remember to watch the video uninterrupted when I had time. Nice job and I really enjoyed it. However, I found the music to be distracting. Keep up the great work creating this excellent youtube content and I'll keep watching for sure.
