[@danielcook4388]

Thank you for doing this video! My buddy and I (he passed away a few years back) bought a stainless steel owner jeep in 1999. We hired a mechanic to help us rebuild her from the ground up. First thing we addressed was the engine, he had a larger engine than the 4k, it was an engine from a wrecked mid 90s Camry. We had the engine completely torn down to its most basic parts and anything slightly worn and or broken replaced when we were done, that thing could hit 210 kmh (we couldn’t bring ourselves to go faster on the roads then). We had a custom back seat built from wood and carbon fiber, we put to 15 in 1000-2000 watt subwoofers in there. We added 6 pioneer 6x9 speakers and a pioneer stereo. We had the jeep suspension dropped had new rims (don’t know the brand we just bought cool looking ones that matched our build). Custom drivers chair and custom dash we had hand carved from wood that fit all our gages. It was very cool and caught a lot of attention! This brings back so many good memories spending hours working on that thing! So thank u again

I think the Americans during WW2 were the ones who left those jeeps in the Philippines. The jeeps were Willys (maker) not Wranglers or even Humvees.

The passenger jeepneys were modified former WW2 Willy's. However the OTJ may have been built from scratch out of 70s car chassis (when cars still used frames). The dimensions seem to depart from significantly from the Willy's. Although I can't back this story up.

[@cosmicegg1283]

[@michaelkevinmirasol8256]

Yep during the liberation of the Philippines circa 1944-1945, a heck of a lot Willy Jeeps were imported to support the war effort and logistics of American soldiers fighting against the Japanese, and since they couldn't return these surplus Jeeps once the war was over, they were sold or turned over to Filipinos for their transport needs, and the rest were history. Ps. Also, the Japanese were the ones who introduced the motorized tricycles which are still in use today as a semi-shared taxis in the cities and barrios.

[@jfygt2623]

Love the video. Not a lot of filipinos embrace and appreciate the OTJ culture. So it's quite suprising that international car enthusiast are looking into this. But let me correct one thing about the OTJ or any jeepneys on this video. It basically derived from the WW2 Willys MB "Jeep". When WW2 ended, the US Army left a lot of those MB's. And people repurpose and converted it to public transportation and civilian use. Any new or old vehicle has that look became what we called the "Jeepney". The Jeepney is becoming a dying breed of vehicles on the Philippines. With the modernisation act, which having stricter emmision standards plus car safety, slowly this vehicles will start to vanish on public roads and sadly the iconic philippine vehicle will be a thing of the past.

[@Johnydrumbola]

The Willy's Jeep back in world war II that were left by the US Army in 1946 were the ones that became privately owned or converted to become a passenger jeepney like a mini bus as differentiated from the Wrangler and jiffy's of the 1980's. My grand uncle owned one of the private willy's jeep and it had dual power that had front and rear wheel drive and consume more gas. It was still running very well during my childhood in the late 60's and early 70's. The wrangler and the "jiffey" that became popular in the 1980's are from a different genealogy. They had Japanese surplus engines that people simply called 3K and some 4K. The original passenger jeepney that were converted from the willy's jeep were much shorter in length than the later evolution of passenger jeepney which uses mostly Japanese surplus engines and the body constructed from metal sheets molded locally. For some reason some people think that those were still willy's jeep when they were clearly not. I know that because I saw how they were made in our neighborhood shop. This passenger Jeepney became an icon with the legend of it being descendants of US military jeep. Unfortunately politics caught up with these passenger jeepneys. The newly elected president in 2016 Rodrigo Duterte at the start was very anti American, went to China and declared to realign Philippine loyalty from Allied to China , North Korea, and Russia. He also went to Russia and met with Putin. When he returned one of the things he did was to order the phase out of the existing passenger jeepneys and replace them with busses or with a much bigger and modern and safer looking super jeepneys made under the technological advancement and design by Chinese engineering. The opposition the dilawans objected while the DDS who are Duterte's supporters promoted the move and the phase out issue became a national debate. Duterte was famously quoted in one of his public speeches against the Dilawan Drivers saying "I don't care if you die of hunger, the country need to modernize" to which his supporters cried in praise of his resolve to advance the country. But Duterte had a falling out with China due to the conflict of fishing rights and claim over some islands in the West Philippines Seas and so he realigned again with the ALLIED powers and the phase out issue was buried and forgotten.

Actually our brush with the Jeep here in the Philippines started immediately postwar, when the Americans had left a lot of military Jeeps. Lacking immediate means of public transport, Filipinos tried extending the body on Jeeps to make the first Jeepneys. The Owner-Type Jeep is a term that can also extend to the original Jeep. Our first family vehicle is a second-hand Jeep, BTW, which is a repainted military Jeep, which Dad customized (out of necessity) to a point that, in its current status, the only remnant from the original military Jeep is the frame. Dad had it swapped from its original Go-Devil engine to a Toyota 3K engine, and finally to a Toyota 4K engine. He also swapped the body to a stainless body and added alloy wheels. That Jeep took us from where we are in the North to Manila (say 400kms) and back three times. Though we moved on to cars, we won't sell that Jeep ever.

[@zanderperalta2297]

Welcome to the Philippines. I watched your videos while you're in Thailand. Great

[@templer46]

70's & 80's after the war? Try 1940's to 80's. I thoroughly enjoy your channel.

[@jhunelmercadi7256]

Sheeeesh you're in my country!! Welcome to the Philippines, Chad. Have a happy trip and be safe❤️

[@reny9405]

Driving that powerful OTJ into the beautiful sunset clouds. The Philippines is a magical country, man.

the engine revving up was scaring the crap out of the pedestrians 16:48 😂

[@ninja.saywhat]

this can actually be as cheap as 5k usd up until around the early 2000s. that was the last time i've ridden one of these. you can probably still get one for less than 10k but as the son said, really depends on the customization.

[@micmac1121]

You are truly one of the favorite , most interesting car guys showing us the world! Amazining!

[@vhentero5347]

Thank you brother for admiring and cherising our culture. We love you man enjoy your time here in our country

[@LOUCABRASI]

Coolest jeeps I've vere seen. Filipinos are some awesome builders, respect 🙏

[@rizalinobautista6258]

That's my mom's hometown! Spent many summers vacationing there. You should also see their military-style jeeps, like Willys!

[@jovenvillanueva2852]

We call ot tamiya (named after the Japanese toy car) here in cavite where city of Imus is BTW. FYI, jeepney's were left over from WWII. Its was originally built by willys and ford and modified by Filipinos as transport vehicle after the war. MD san juan enterprise still produce the original version located in caloocan metro manila, they ship world wide. You should also visit Pampanga they have interesting car build there as well. You should have also visited/drove the s20det tamiya in imus.

[@kapamilyatalks5420]

[@SaylentBlagTv]

Thank you for appreciating our OTJ culture in Imus City!

[@christopherleger9943]

Another great KZbin video, I may not as enthused with the small engine cars. But love watching you show the different costume cars and of course the culture and scenery. Thanks and keep up the work.

[@SoulZeb]

For the foreigners, OTJ means Owner Type Jeepneys. Its a Jeepney, yes... but meant for Private Use. Its a "Jeepney" but made into a 5/7-seater sedan/hatchback.

[@duder280z]

Dude! 15 x 10 rims with 195/ 50's on a hella reverse offset brings me back to the 90's SO HARD! LOL! Hell yes! Mini Truckin' life!

[@Kohdie]

i’m more impressed by custom clear steering wheels and chassis than anything love these guys

[@Wildchildinc]

Saw a SR20 swapped one when I was visiting family in Imus late 2019. No surprise to find out this video was filmed there!

[@diosdadocabugao68]

Actually there's a company in the Philippines that manufacture original jeep parts that supplies the jeep community around the world you can Google it

[@skibidikoshtantan]

i was wondering what's lacking on the otj, just what i thought it was lacking a wide body fender, dont you think so?

[@asiahmoon5322]

It's nice to see this jeep on the road in states. It's really unique and awesome.

[@charlesflorendo8632]

Im so happy that you appreciate this culture. I wish it were more popular and widespread.

[@shapes8630]

My dad owned this type of car back when i was a baby but i didnt have any memories of it but i did see pics of it with my brother it was the first car that got me into liking cars.

[@beppu5156]
