The pressure is on in the third episode of Middle Aged Wasteland! With Wasteland Weekend fast approaching, Leif Gantvoort and Brett Sheridan kick their war rig build into high gear. The engine (or motor—let’s not start that debate again) is finally installed, but now the duo faces a new set of challenges: finishing the truck’s post-apocalyptic makeover, getting it road-ready, and, most importantly, making it look cool.

Welding? Check. Turret? Check. Tires that don’t explode? Fingers crossed. Will their Mad Max-inspired dream vehicle make it out of Clear Lake, South Dakota, or will the clock run out on their wasteland ambitions?
