Hard to get excited about taking a pickup truck and simply bolting a turbine down in the bed when you've seen the Jet Beetle in person.

PS: I wouldn't expect the turbine in this truck to last very long in those running conditions, especially with no intake filters. Be a pretty damn spectacular show to watch when it comes apart though.

is that a rocket engine on your truck, or are you just happy to see me?!

I would think that there should be more space in front of the intake...

Maybe he opens the sliding glass windows on the back of the cab and rolls down the drivers and passenger windows...

Yeah, it is looks like kind of a hack job - or at least done with minimal or questionable engineering forethought. Check out the Jet Beetle link I posted earlier in the thread if you want to see how to do these things right.
