We Drive the Crazy Cool Forward Control Jeep FC-150 Restomod Concept Off-Road!

[@ferlenarab]

I drove one of these at work in the early 1970s. I loved it then, this one is much better! I plowed snow with the work one and hauled trash to the dump. Very versatile!

[@1guyin10]

I've always thought these were cool trucks, but the original mechanicals left a lot to be desired. Its great to see one brought up to date and made into something you could drive around town today.

[@jeffreyjohnson3103]

We had a '63 FC-150, and yes, the old F-Head was not powerhouse and 5.38 gears meant 45 mph was straining the limits. But it was a cool truck.

[@StreetersGarage]

There's a man who truly loves his job.

[@dragonbutt]

+Streeters Garage America, amirite?

[@MrKeyboardCommando]

+Streeters Garage He certainly loves his orange creation.

[@soranthomson9159]

What I would do for his job

[@richardpeel6056]

In England as a child I had 2 Corgi toy models of this Jeep, one this colour was a pickup the other was blue with a cherry picker lift for replacing street lamps. I knew they had to exist as real vehicles but I'd never seen them for real either in Britain or on American movies. I got a nostalgia hit when I opened this video.

[@mikeshearn8925]

Always loved the FC 150 and the FC 170

[@johnburkett521]

This exact truck right here is the bast thing that Jeep has ever built. My dream truck.

[@johnvaldez8830]

Man, I really like this. It's the kind of truck that just looks at home in the desert. Two thumbs way up!

[@pnotuner1]

I saw an old original one in Waco the other day.

[@BobCummins]

That is so cool and the little custom touches make it special. My wife loved it too.

[@trefod]

Nice, that guy oozed enthusiasm.

[@danielkleinheksel8853]

Absolutely love the fact that they kept its character.

[@DCGarage]

I love how they put props in it. I don't think I've ever seen a concept car that comes with pork and beans and a burrito lol.

[@sumit_john]

I've seen plenty of these trucks in Southern India where I grew up in the mid to late 1990s. They were built in India by a company called Mahindra under license from Jeep. They were initially badged as Jeep, but later the designation to changed to FJ460 or the likes. Unlike the FCs in the US, most of the vehicles India had a flat windscreen. They are very rare nowadays, since most of them get worked to death. However, they are still available as mini buses, and you see them occasionally.

[@machinelement]

Good to see someone write about the Mahindra FJ 460 DX., good information Sumit., the FJ came with a Simpsons 3.3 Liter engine. What an amazing beauty this is to drive..!!

[@thudable]

Love it. Thanks for posting. I'm from Toledo Ohio, born and raised JEEP.

[@JamesWilliams-cm2ue]

Never been a Jeep fan but I gotta say that I like what they are doing with their concepts lately.

[@dylanpincombe2990]

These guys are lucky as hell every time I discover an odd vehicle and look it up on KZbin these guys have already done a review and drove it, it could be new or old stuff lol

[@MrF4tty]

I love this. It is the best of both worlds.

[@bustedback]

The curtains in my grandfather's hunting camper had the same pattern as the headliner of this FC.

[@OpenAirAdventureFirewood]

I want one..and the cooler was a surprise, love it.

[@michaelcrouch4248]

Very cool 👍

[@MultiPurposeReviewer]

It looks like an orange creamsicle you'd find in a fifties diner. I like it.

[@thetman0068]

I miss these classic color combos on cars. And why are all the interiors black now???

[@MultiPurposeReviewer]

tman008 Probably because it's cheaper.

[@thetman0068]

MultiPurposeReviewer Oh bah humbug. I guess they just don't make them like they used too. :/ I would pay good money for a Blue, green, or heck, even a RED interior on some cars.

[@mr.intensity2685]

@@MultiPurposeReviewer Agreed, cheaper, and that's too bad. For everyone who might want a new 2019 JL in the new "Bikini"color it doesn't go with the black interior. It needs to be a Sandy color. I think it's a girly name, but wait until you see it in the sun it reminds me of a shade of blue used by Honda in the early '80's

[@yjjeeper90]

Looks awesome! I like that you updated the running gear too. But I would love to see more details on how it was fit to the TJ. Like details on the steering setup, where you hid the brake booster and master cylinder, how the radiator fits and gets enough air, etc.

[@Forestdawg1791]

Always like the old Jeep FC. Your legs really are the crumple zone in this thing. That would never fly today

[@jayblankenbiller5385]

That is the vehicle I learned to drive in, The 4 cylinder with the 3 speed tranny was screaming at 50 MPH. Also it was the first engine overhaul my father and I overtook. It broke a timing chain while I was goofing with some high school buddies in the cattle fields around the Reading airport back in 1975. Same color as yours too. My father never fixed the front wheel shimmy that would scare the crap out of you when hitting a solid bump at speed. Only after the battery fell out from it's rusted box behind the seat did he get rid of it.

[@kirk189]

Great interview! Seems like a really cool dude way to go TFL and Jeep

[@rattyratstuff7125]

just found one. love it

[@duggydugg3937]

Love the jazzy piano

[@sevenpointsixtwo]

That is one cool truck. I would totally drive this !

[@matthallada5157]

USA car and truck companies need to bring back the cab over design. So much better visibility, safer for pedestrians, cyclists, and everyone else on the road

[@txvet7738]

It's a sharp looking jeep!

[@tmanthekid4396]

It is the essence of farm truck like if you took all of the world's farm truckness and combined it

[@BobbyTucker]

That's gotta be great going off-road, sitting directly on top of the front axle, your ass absorbing all the bumps, chuck-holes, pot-holes, lol. I had a 69 GMC van that I converted to a four by four, again, sitting on top of the front axle, need I say more? Thank's for sharing.

[@steveforant2952]

Those are awesome! Hard to find especially with a title

[@GameMaster7105]

Really wish Jeep would consider making a remastered version of the FC to the public. There's got to be a big enough appeal out there for one.

[@MrKeyboardCommando]

This automobile is simply wonderful. Fiat/Chrysler, you've got to put it into production. Hell's teeth, it's that good, I'd even buy one.

[@humanbraininrobotbod]

I understand the "freaky going downhill" bit - I own a Pinzgauer!

[@coolpat71]

be cool if they brought that truck back into production !!

[@Nikephorus]

Very cool truck.

[@daves9616]

Awesome concept!

[@johnmills186]

As a farmer that thing has a lot of potential.

[@Grarder]

I'm so glad that guy gets to take that truck home when it's all over. It just wouldn't have been right after all that if it was any other way.

[@1danny2k]

Owned one. Always reminds me of Casper the friendly ghost don't know why !!

[@blessindia1]

The FC 170 was built in India by Mahindra in collaboration with Willys. There was a mini bus version too.

[@Markofrespect]

Reminds me of the FC Landrover that was produced for the UK military...

[@V10PDTDI]

I lové that the Guy in charged is a real car guy you can tell he wanted to buy it for him but like any real couple his wife said no ! So funny it happens to me all the time.

[@danielkleinheksel8853]

The truck gets impounded because of the old parking tickets🤣🤣🤣.

[@donwarner6925]

This is just awesome!

[@firebrand07]

My dad gave me a toy of the FC-150 when I was 4, 1961.

[@kenmtb]

Four thumbs up. I would love to see these make a comeback in vintage colors. Not holding my breath though :/

[@gilbertarnold8666]

Great video thank you!

[@sergeantbigmac]

Im loving these concepts from Jeep. No other car company has concept cars that I actually love and want to see made... Well all except this one. Not my thing. And its the only one that couldnt get made even if they wanted to because it would never pass modern safety regs. Sorry but someone had to say it.

[@jamesjohnson8661]

This isn't a concept car. It was a production vehicle based on the cj5 chassis.

[@jennifurzoe4230]

its beautiful

[@jiggermast]

Needs a fifth wheel, looks a bit like a miniature cab over artic! but a really cool little vehicle. They fitted the way ahead of its time 3 cylinder "Cerlist" Scavenge blown 2 stroke diesel in some FC Jeeps too.

[@DocWolph]

They could build something fairly close today. The cab would be more like a Smart car, with some changes obviously. But most telling is the cab would be designed the deflect an off set wreck, not absorb it.

[@anajay78]

Very unique love it.

[@sofakingcooln1]

if only this man would drive a vw bus he would realize he had been missing this feeling the whole time

[@tasteless_5915]

Kombi’s are great because you can fit all your friends in them to push you when they break down.

[@MetaView7]

I hope they have made a video on the remake of this Jeep.

[@leedunlap92]

what jeep truck was that in the back ground when they are talking about the chassis

[@boss123400]

The music at 3:15 👍🏽

[@freezor80]

That is a bad mother. I want one!

[@danbytp]

It would sell well in Japan,they like this type of vehicle.

[@Tanner731]

drives me up the walls when the host asks the guy questions about things he already answered

[@lifeisgood12341]

they should have brought that new fc jeep concept they put out a few years ago

[@ccanaves]

Love it!

[@Stuka87]

Thats a 4sp auto, not a 3sp. Should be an AW4 which was used behind the 4.0 from 87-2006.

[@RobHVAC]

Very cool

[@toastwit]

Where can I see pictures of the under side of this thing?!?!

[@aherbst380]

Hey guys, saw this truck in Sedalia and begged my wife to let me buy it... Good thing she pushed her opinion due to the great creation you have been able to make. Is it for sale?

[@peace10000able]

That's fucking awesome

[@Mocking69]

とても可愛いトラックです!!　ナイストラック♪

[@hareeshnr1]

love it 😃😃

[@wordreet]

Updated mechanicals and co is a good idea, but, to my mind, all the cute little details are, I suppose fun, but pointless. Just get in and use it!! And it needs an expert antique restorer to work on those oh so clean lookin wheels! Cut the paint back till some metal's showin and spray 'em with a bit of salt water, then forget 'em.

[@jimkey920]

They were a real truck. Dependable. the only downside was RUST. They should have considered Aluminum or Fibreglas.

[@sergeantbigmac]

Looks like something youd see on a crowded dirt road in India! ...Sorry but someone had to say it LOL.

[@aleoimpala]

Cool cartoonish ride... ;-)

[@sean8081a]

Can it do 90 mph like the speedometer?

[@rogerrabbit4539]

+sean craig Its on a TJ chassis cant see why it would not..

[@casedoumasr656]

Nice truck but should have left the manual transmission in .When you were driving this it reminded me of my 1968 international Scout with 4 cylinder it was a blast .There is a Jeep like this down the road that has 2 axles any way like some of you changes 🇺🇸😀

[@Zalamx]

I always had a soft spot for cabover pick-ups, too bad safety laws prevent them from being built.

[@Perception.mp4]

I WANT IT!!!

[@madbikerwolf8664]

Demonstrating an off-road vehicle on terrain that wouldn't stop a '97 Corolla is rather questionable. This explains a lot about how current Jeeps are designed.

[@MichaelHollon]

Love it

[@joestrother2583]

why are they called 'forward control' now instead of the old school term 'cab over' that most truckers still use today?

[@thetman0068]

That's what they were marketed as, so the name stuck. Why do they call them CJs instead of 4x4 Off-Road Mini Utility Vehicles?

[@robthurlow1347]

Because land rover made a version and called it forward control and this set the trend. land rovers 101 forward control is a monster in comparison to one of these though they were built solely for military use so are rare now.

[@anhle-iq9od]

it so cool

[@danbytp]

It's so ugly it's beautiful.I like it.Where can I get one to renovate?

[@coloradochris1]

Automatic???? You wrecked it.

[@andrewveatch2577]

I hate when they drop bodies on new chassis and mechanics, just keep the old.

[@MetaView7]

Love it. LOL

[@sharkeisha2225]

CAN YOU DO A REVEIW ON THE LEXUS LX570 2016 PLEAAAASSSEEEEEEE

[@emi123nem]

Girl , I don't think your Lexus falls under the jeep safari category , pretty far from it tbh 😜

[@5610winston]

You lost me when you dropped the body on a different chassis.

[@schulze420]

get this under 10K and I would get it

[@TechnoDelta]

Fun :)

[@tomsmith9017]

This might be the douchiest build I have ever seen

[@davidcordatos-marcotte8144]

Hi

[@dustinreeher2538]

The guy in the blue ruins it every freaken time.

[@AjayVerma-pl8cr]

Very nice f c Jeep

[@DerFledderer]

Omaha Orange and Whte

[@hamdanalharbi2206]

unimog anyone ?!

[@sushipop9448]

I want

[@frankmick8683]

This is NOT an FC 150 anymore.

[@ruready4adventure743]

Urg! It's not the same rig it once was. Not everyone can do what this fella or Jeep has done. Where are the purists?
