S2000 Swapped OTJ! Unique Car Culture in The Philippines! 

Ok 👍👍👍

Habebi come to panjap (India ) if u want to see this type of jeep. This is nothing 🤣

THANKS Chad!! For visiting Ph!🇵🇭🇵🇭

That shot at the end of the video around 17 minutes and 42 seconds makes the f****** thing look like it's straight out of a GTA DLC pack. It doesn't even look real, I f****** love it. That shot at the end with the sun setting in the sky during the golden hour, cruising down an Open road in a strange foreign country with a strange new person..... Damn bro, you have one hell of a life.

Curious what they would make a jeep fc170 look like in the end.

I agree completely. I am retired here.

@@Synfulz glad you guys have had a good time here!

Isn’t Jollybee their primary source of food? I date a Philippina in California and that’s all she wanted. Now Thai food 😋 that’s some good stuff.

@@vintageexcellence it’s either jollybee or pag pag lol.

@@vintageexcellence I could use some lumpia, pancit and fried rice right about now and I do also love Thai food. lol

Tagay tagay pa

🍻

TAGAY HANGGANG MAMATAY 🔥

I've seen some of those OTJs specced as actual Wranglers, and even Hummers lol. Pretty wild and awesome.

Low horsepower motor? Did you mean high horsepower motor?

Only they're not really light if we're talking about power to weight ratio....all those stainless😏

@@ruelitocayamanda8162 low power from the 4K stock.... still, its bulletproof and the most common engine used on OTJ.

@@jonasmartinez1739 Well, what can you expect? That engine was not designed to produce much power. I'm afraid turbo charging it would lead to reliability problems in the future. Forced induction needs more than just slapping a turbo or supercharger. The amount of boost must be well managed.

Yes these are copy cj2 cj3

Yes...these Jeeps were on the road in the PI long before the 70's-80's. Some original and others copies.

Yeah, they had the Jitney Jeeps when I was there in the '60's. Dogs and chickens, too.

I was about to comment that he needs to do more research because the information he provided is all wrong.

Once in awhile I actually see high hood Korean [?] war era Jeeps in Philippines, still in use.

@@jamesrecknor6752 yes, but only a handful originals still running, my late grandfather a filipino-U.S. veteran who served in vietnam had one. It was a willys jeep cj-5, it was a car mixed with a farm tractor with a rifle holder for a dash.

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.

Yes that’s my friends willys jeep his name is joel tan

@@deliciouslifetv7362 bro, i felt lucky you commented on my post.. you got one cool channel im gonna sub while its early haha

@@paulocuento9949 thanks for stopping by 😎👍🏾🇵🇭🇺🇸

Tama po kayo...

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.

@@gilbs72 the design philosophy for the OTJs are definitely derived from the Willys, and ive seen abandoned OTJs matching those dimensions. This leads me to think that they were indeed originally willys but like most filipino jeepneys and OTJs today, are domestically assembled.

Yup... 1940s...

Plus they taste great at weddings lol don't eat uncle's adobo lol

I'm from the Philippines, but I never heard of that superstition.

Thats a new one that dog barks keeps bad spirits away...Bad ppl yes but spirits...Thats a new one. But your correct, alot of superstitious ppl in this contry so i can belive some wold think like that. There is also a decent VW Bugs community here. Just saw one down at SM Mall of Asia. Also a Maybach GLS600 and a fairly new RS6! So yes many cool cars here in the Philippines 👍

@@SunShine_sublime Perhaps a tribal era superstition in a limited area/province.

dog here.bark whrn they smell a new person in the area. the philippine aspin is a guard dog and not your usual poodle.

It's all good for the USA ex pat in the Mindanao 'hood

land of the free isang pagkakamali mo lang post ka na agad sa facebook

Depends on the place. In Manila, that would be a hotspot for officers to catch, but in provinces like Imus, its all good

Really not street worthy anymore. No safety features, not built for comfort and fuel consumption is not efficient.

@@joelempania6385 Of all you said here one is not true, they are fuel efficient because they are only small engine compare to the v8's we drive here in USA or Canada.

Colonial mentality at work

@@MementoMori1001 lol

d kaya ng 2JZ Fuso frame ng mga jeepney, Vortec 5.3 V8 o Chevy 7.4 V8 lang makakadala nun

​@@MementoMori1001ya like how the HK people felt after the Brits sold out HK to Communist China.

Please don't forget there are also Dodge Challenger/ Mustang & Camaro Club in the Philippines. There's also a Nissan GTR Club ( MAGTROC) There's cars & coffee Club on Sundays at BGC too! Thank you!

Correct!

..until now. Never heard Biga Motors and Boniak?

What war was his dumbass talking about in the 70’s and 80’s? 😂 …This guy made an ass of himself skipping research. I think he thinks Filipinos and Cambodians are the same thing. …Probably better to delete the entire vid dude

@@rayovsaan1820 Research some google before you speak.

@@rayovsaan1820 While everyone else in the room is behaving like an adult it would seem someone with less maturity has entered the conversation.

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.

It will not disappear if the Department of tourism buys enough jeepneys and service it to be a transportation for tourists in tourist spots. Even a cultural museum. Or anything really, just not in the road as public transportation.

Not quite...WW2 was the start.... But cool anyway.

@@banyaga-di-palawan The Japanese Army overran all of the Philippines during the first half of 1942. The liberation of the Philippines from Japan commenced with amphibious landings on the eastern Philippine island of Leyte on October 20, 1944. The United States and Philippine Commonwealth military forces, as well as naval and air support by Mexico and Australia were progressing in liberating territory and islands when the Japanese forces in the Philippines were ordered to surrender by Tokyo on August 15, 1945, after the dropping of the atomic bombs on mainland Japan and the Soviet invasion of Manchuria.😁

@@ryanmontgomery4302 Willys MA was here before 1941 along with the Bantam and the Ford model. At least one was taken to Japan during the occupation. After the war, hundreds more were left here. My old uncle used to scrounge them and parts and rebuilt many. 🙂

@@banyaga-di-palawan Thank you, I was not aware that any were there prior to the MB version that was 41-45 I believe. None the less the Filipino people are very very inovative in so many ways. The culture is facinatingto me and Chad shows much respect for the culture and people. He does a very good job as I see it

@@banyaga-di-palawan The Ford was Model GWP? Not many people are even aware Ford built them as Willys

and not only that your retirement dollars will be much more in value, as cost of living there is cheaper

Except when you're a filipino, the average guy here can hardly modify their cars because of prohibitively expensive car parts. 😁

@@boooju ang Nega mo naman

@@prrnce5078 that's racist

@@ninja.saywhat bitch what??? How ?

I lived in Tahiti for 2 years and same, they wake you up at like 4-5 am, had to keep a basket of flip flops near my bed lol.

Yeah I wouldn’t be able to handle that either. If I ever lived in the Philippines it’d be in a high rise condo only.

@@CBMedia404 😅👍 thanks for the reply, I’m already looking forward to the next video

@@Ahahahhaaah 🤣🤣🤣

Doggos wasn't as much of an issue in the area I was, but the roosters were really everywhere and the style of windows they had you couldn't close fully, so you wakeup when they feel like it. Also had little geckos at night, never knew those things could also scream, although nowhere as loud and annoying as the roosters. When in Manila I was only in the high rises and area next to the airport, there everything was nice and pretty quite when you closed the windows.

That Jeep that your cousin was in is called a jeepney, its longer compared to this OTJ's

lived there in 67-68 they were log embedded by then

It wasn’t a grown up working at the store, it was other kids.
