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

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.

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!

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.

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.

There's a man who truly loves his job.

Nice, that guy oozed enthusiasm.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Absolutely love the fact that they kept its character.

Always loved the FC 150 and the FC 170

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.

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

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.

I want one so bad! Tough to find one in Michigan that's not rusted out. Gotta take a road trip!

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

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

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.

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

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

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

just found one. love it

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.

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

It's a sharp looking jeep!

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

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

Those are awesome! Hard to find especially with a title

Love the jazzy piano

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

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

Very cool truck.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Awesome concept!

Cool cartoonish ride... ;-)

This is just awesome!

Great video thank you!

That is a bad mother. I want one!

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

As a farmer that thing has a lot of potential.

Love it!

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

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

Very unique love it.

Very cool 👍

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

its beautiful

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

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

That's fucking awesome

Very cool

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.

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?

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

love it 😃😃

Love it

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

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.

The music at 3:15 👍🏽

I WANT IT!!!

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

it so cool

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

とても可愛いトラックです!!　ナイストラック♪

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

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

Say it with me now at the top of your lungs. FORWARD CONTROOOLLL

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

Love it. LOL

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

Fun :)

CAN YOU DO A REVEIW ON THE LEXUS LX570 2016 PLEAAAASSSEEEEEEE

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

Very nice f c Jeep

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

I want

get this under 10K and I would get it

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

Can it do 90 mph like the speedometer?

Hi

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.

unimog anyone ?!

Omaha Orange and Whte

Automatic???? You wrecked it.

The guy in the blue ruins it every freaken time.

Build the FC concept!!!! Damn you Jeep! Why do you do this to us, Why Why Why? Do you not like money? What kind of idiots are making decisions over there, for the love God!!!!............build it and we will come....build it and we will come!

Let me know i it's for sale ..... 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
