The custom truck builder projects have changed in recent years from simple hobbyist tinkering to high-octane wheel-based art exhibits. These trucks go beyond just off-road capability or horsepower. Oh goodness! They are rolling canvases, painted with strokes of invention, splattered with bold ingenuity, and sprinkled with old-fashioned appeal. Imagine a regular vehicle, beefed up with an audio system so thundering, it could rumble a little earthquake; or tough enough to negotiate the toughest terrain without breaking a sweat.
Consider the amazing off-road monster known as the Hennessey Goliath 6×6. This beast redefines what it means to be relentless; it’s like someone handed Hercules a turbocharger. It seems as though it consumes mountains for breakfast with its two extra wheels and supercharged engine spewing around 700 hp.
Still, let’s not keep you always under the hood. Above, the Lightning Truck rolls in with a flash of ingenuity, literally with its electric engines and nod toward environmental conscience. Changing gas-guzzling engines for electric power, its builders zapped the old caricature of the lumbering, polluting truck. Seeing technology close the distance between environmental responsibility and raw, pure energy is exciting.
With Storm Concept’s Icebreaker’s harsh, teeth-gritting look, workmanship assumes still another shape. Imagine this: a towering presence slicing across snow like a knife across butter. Its aerodynamic features and special snow track system fit quite well. This bespoke truck allows even the horrible snowman a run for his money. Start the fireplace since it will slow down the rivalry.
The imagination poured into these cars is very amazing. Every unique construction tells a different tale, sometimes belonging to a down-to- earth DIY craftsman working out of an old barn, others to high-end workshops using space age techniques. Designing something amazing but useful, dramatic but practical is everything. Every builder working with tools, trading accounts of hits and occasionally misses.
