  • Bomb-Proof My Pick-Up
    E1
    Bomb-Proof My Pick-UpThe Boys create an armored vehicle out of an old truck, and armor made of beer cans, then try to blow it up to see if they can create a bombproof pickup.
  • Moonshine Rocket Fuel
    E2
    Moonshine Rocket FuelThe Rednecks create a new type of rocket fuel with a hillbilly whiskey still; but can it fire off a monster model rocket, fueled only with moonshine?
  • Junkyard Iron Man
    E3
    Junkyard Iron ManThe military is already offering contracts for companies to build armoured exoskeleton suits that allow individual soldiers to lift 200 pounds. Travis wants in on the action. He and the boys raid the local junkyard and build their very own Iron Man suit
  • 20,000 Kegs Under the Sea
    E4
    20,000 Kegs Under the SeaEpisode 1: The Rednecks aim to build a lightweight, bullet-proof suit that can augment human strength and fire weapons. Episode 2: The guys turn their sights to underwater exploration -- building a homemade submarine out of a 4 x 4 plastic container farmers use to store fertilizer... and beer kegs, of course.
  • Hillbilly Armageddon
    E5
    Hillbilly ArmageddonIn his day job at the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command, Travis has explored ways to protect the Earth from collision with an asteroid, but outside the office he'll actually put some of these ideas to the test.
  • Rednecks on the Red Planet
    E6
    Rednecks on the Red PlanetMost scientists think a manned mission to Mars would take at least one and a half years and billions of dollars, but Travis thinks it can be done faster and cheaper.
  • Close Encounters of the Redneck Kind
    E7
    Close Encounters of the Redneck KindEpisode 1: The Rednecks build a massive radio telescope out of junkyard parts, in an attempt to pick up signals from distant galaxies. Episode 2: The Rednecks build a massive radio telescope out of junkyard parts, in an attempt to pick up signals from distant galaxies.
  • Backwoods Spy Satellite
    E8
    Backwoods Spy SatelliteThe Rednecks build a massive radio telescope out of junkyard parts, in an attempt to pick up signals from distant galaxies.
  • Power My Party Boat
    E9
    Power My Party BoatThe team create a floating "alternate energy power plant" out of old car parts and a waterwheel that creates all the energy required for a "Redneck Rec Room."
  • Double-Barreled Rocket
    E10
    Double-Barreled RocketThe guys build a solar thermal rocket engine out of old satellite dishes to test out a free energy source that could travel between the stars - or power an old fishing boat.
  • Hillbilly Moon Buggy
    E11
    Hillbilly Moon BuggyTravis and the guys compete in NASA's Great Moonbuggy Race - an international competition to create a human-powered lunar vehicle designed to fit aboard a space capsule. Engineering teams around the world spend years designing entries but the Rednecks build theirs in one weekend. After all, Daddy did work on the original Apollo space program so they should have a leg up.
  • Rocket-Powered Bass Boat
    E12
    Rocket-Powered Bass BoatWith NASAs shuttle program now defunct, the Rednecks decide to build their own big ass rocket. Staying true to their redneck roots, the team uses whatever they can find, including a farmers abandoned water tank and an old safety ladder, to craft a 700-pound rocket. But they have to buy the largest rocket engines you can get without being in the government.
  • Tornado-Proof Outhouse
    E13
    Tornado-Proof OuthouseEpisode 1: After 170 killer tornados tear through the South in just two days, the Rocket City Rednecks build a "tornado-proof outhouse" that can withstand F5 winds. Episode 2: The Rednecks put on a Fourth of July fireworks display using their own rocket fuel and a self-engineered computer program to remotely control the fireworks.
  • Hillbilly Fireworks
    E14
    Hillbilly FireworksThe Rednecks put on a Fourth of July fireworks display using their own rocket fuel and a self-engineered computer program to remotely control the fireworks.
  • The War Wagon
    E15
    The War WagonThe Rednecks need a tank. North Korea could attack, aliens could invade, and the deer in the woods are getting awfully pushy. Using Pete and Travis' experience in military armour and Daddy and Michael's weaponry skills, they create a fully-armoured war-wagon mounted with a flame thrower and a giant potato cannon, suitable for hunting deer or chasing off invaders.

    E16
    Trailer PowerUsing Pete and Travis's experience in military armor and Daddy and Michael's weaponry skills, the Rednecks create a fully-armored war-wagon mounted with a flame thrower and a giant potato cannon, suitable for hunting deer or chasing off invaders.
  • Slingshot Into Orbit
    E17
    Slingshot Into OrbitThe Rednecks experiment with the physics of slingshots and trebuchets, then rig a "Super-treb" with a pulley system and weather balloo... that looks more like a massive slingshot than a launch vehicle.
  • Hillbilly Hovercraft
    E18
    Hillbilly HovercraftOld sci-fi magazines once promised a Jetsons-style Hovercraft for everyone - but a redneck would prefer a "loungechair hovercraft.
  • Radar-Proof Pickup
