When I was in high school around 1961 of 62 a friend of mine bought this Truck and a 6x6 Studebaker at a military surplus auction for $1,100 and change for the pair, I drove the Studebaker home while he drove the Dodge ,the Studebaker 6x6 will climb walls ,he still owns both trucks along with a Willys Jeep and Panel Truck .
I appreciate his guest’s passion & knowledge of his vehicle ... equally important, I love Jay’s respectful way of addressing some questions and issues about the design choices made on the rebuild.
You can tell Jay wants to see a hand crank on this particular unit
6 років тому+4
My uncle owned one and had a headquarters tent for camping,went to Baxter state park on cape cod every spring for trout opening day in the sixties.the thing was a beast .
Each time I think I won’t be interested in a vehicle at Jay’s garage it doesn’t take long before Jay has me googling everything I can find about the car or truck.
You have got every Mopar fanatic out here just drooling all over this guys WWII era Dodge trucks. I have always wanted one of the Power Wagon 6X6 so I could do exactly what this guy did with his. And now here he comes with this beautiful CarryAll!!! This guy has got some next level designing and fabricating skills.
"get out and lock the hubs" is something my grandfather would always say after we were in a foot and half of mud and he's been spinning for 5 minutes. I wish he would have let me lock in the hubs before we got stuck in the mud
10:25 My First "real" job out of trade school was working in a spring shop. Built 'em from scratch. Leaf repairs. Walking beam suspension. BIG TRUCKS. 5 yrs. Fun job. 😁
A nice looking truck, a collection of very cool parts & a half-assed approach to putting it all together. “Professional” = throw it together for a quick profit. “Hobby” = build it to survive.
I absolutely loved the Power Wagon episode from a long while back, and was hoping that Winslow would eventually be on the show again..... When I saw the video thumbnail and title, I was almost gauranteeing myself that it must be Legacy again! and thankfully, it was!
I love all the different and unusual vehicles in these videos, but it never fails, every single time I see that '41 Plymouth coupe in the background, I fall in love all over again.
I used to have a lot of respect and admiration for Legacy but as I continue to advance my skill set in restoration and fabrication this vehicle is far from a $250k price tag. The rear suspension (springs) are the original 1.75” wide springs that came stock on the WC53 with BRASS bushings and cast iron spring hangers. Shocks are purely for looks since it appears they went with a 12” travel shock and limited it to a 4” travel. E Brake cables are at risk of being ripped off, frame has extensive welding which is a corrosion hotspot internally and riddles it with dozens of concentrated stress areas (boxing plates end between crossmembers) and the diesel engine itself is very reliable but there is no reason to boast the spin on fuel filter since they come standard with it. I could care less about the thought put into vent tubes over the rest of the entire damn truck. Making the tailgate out of 1/8” plate means the outer skin is loaded with bondo to get the shape it needs to flow with the body. Fuel fill location is rediculous, headlight mounts are cheesy, hydroboost isnt straight, firewall is just boring flat bedlined steel, the air compressor is a joke... they made gear drive compressors for this cummins engine that would take the cake in air volume and reliablity. Nice try Legacy, I’ll see you next year with a real resto mod Dodge that’s practical! Charlie, New Era Performance LLC
I'd say you're absolutely right. It's a decent resto mod build, but it is in no way as "practical" as he puts it. I get the feel that this guy just used things that "look cool" but he hasn't got any experience in offroading himself.
Charlie Pitcher, didn't the rear shocks look like they bottomed out with the wheels on the ground? 4" extension and no room for compression. Plus the sloppy dust boots all balled-up.
So basically Jay pokes holes in all the issues in this incredibly expensive "basic" truck with lead acid batteries, floppy leaf springs with no gators, and unbalanced tires. Cool.
InsertFlashyName Having been on these offroad rallies this is not the answer. There is a good reason support vehicles tend to be a 10 year old Toyota Landcruiser and a cabover Dakar/Army type truck. The Toyota is quiet, fast and you can easily sell it if you need to leave it in x country if you need the space or money. If needed the Truck can carry the race vehicle and we stick the tools onto/into the Toyota or shiping container should the race car crash beyond repair which happens alot. You can have an awning/work area on the shady/dry side of a a cabover rather than the tailgate in the sun/rain/wind/snow at the side of the dusty road.
I think this guy has done an amazing job. Sure there are a couple of inconsistencies, the worst being exposed parts underneath, but really it's 95% there. I would still love to own this vehicle.
Jay didn't pull any punches with Winslow, pointing out a half dozen questionable decisions on the build. And boy, those low slung e brake cables are just begging to be ripped right out of the drums first time through rough terrain.
Considering the amount of worrying that drove the fuel filler relocation, having the transmission fluid so easily spillable seems like a backwards step - I mean, I get the idea but if you're concerned that someone might tamper with the vehicle to prevent it from moving, why make it that easy?
RealUnimportant it's not tampering that he's worried about, it's African criminals out to steal your diesel. There's nothing valuable about trans fluid.
Ive seen my favorite wagon now. Safegaurds you from any modern day threat. Very well engineered. Makes me miss my 54 Wllys Overland. It had three shifters and overdrive. Back when things were cool yet simple
Good Lord if I had to pick a Dodge that sure would be near the top of the list. Wow nice. Merry Christmas to you Jay and your wife and family. Hope all are well and happy this time of year. You too Winslow!!
9:23 whoa don't use up all of that 2" of travel in one place. lol. WTF 21:59 the rear has zero up travel as well. And the guys is talking about adding a bunch more weight which will make the suspension sag even more?? Time to reevaluate those shocks.
These trucks are purpose built, not meant for cruising. Great vehicles. Thanks Jay and Merry Christmas. Just the video I needed for day 53 after my triple by-pass surgery. This is a great Christmas for me to wake to. Thanks again Jay.
i really like that guy, he seemed very knowledgeable about that truck and has great understanding of how things work and what makes sense on a design for purpose built vehicles..very nice.
As much as I'd love such a vehicle... There would be a few adjustments needed. Starting with the fueling location. The fuel door will be trapped by cargo that would have to be moved every time you fueled. Not to mention that spilled diesel would not only stain both the truck and cargo, but stink to high heaven. (Made worse when driving in hot conditions like Africa) Why not elevate the air filter to the roofline like mil spec. Padlock latches on back need padlock protection plates for the nice paint job. The current system will not prevent the locks from flopping about on bumpy roads causing the locks to slam into the paint and chip it. Bad idea anyway as listening to padlocks slap and rattle against the back of the vehicle for hours on end would get maddening. Tailgate needs some sort of lock down feature . If its meant to act as a work bench and withstand being hammered on, the cable supports will allow it to bounce. Also inside of door should have been made flat as its curved shape will be annoying to work on. Air compressor looks undersized. Sure it may reach the necessary PSI but if the intention is to run air tools then CFM is a concern as well. As air tools are a pig on air. They drain tanks quickly and need fast compressors to keep up. Straping down the axes and shovels on the back creates two problems. One... More Rattling Two... Open to theft. And one final thing.... A little aside. Jay...if you are reading this... KEEP IT BETWEEN THE LINES!!! In every video I see you in, you always end up at some point wondering over the center line. U don't LOOK drunk....lol

I have lost more money on them than I care to think of.

Thank Jay for bringing Mr Bent down with the first ever carryall. You have more than you can drive send some my way I will keep them cleaned out for you.
Hi Jay and guys. I am actually the organizer of the rally where this baby will be servicing. I've read the comments here, and I believe that if you never made a rally like the one we're putting together you can't actualy be certain of this vehicle capabilities. I have some experience crossing south and central america with different types of vehicles, from comfortable 4x4s to classic cars from the 20s. This truck will be servicing a 1938 Chevrolet coupe known as the Fangio as it is a replica of the one the Juan Manuel Fangio used to race in his early days. The color patern also mimics the car, this is why this truck has the paint scheme like you see it. So Jay, if you want to come along in this adventure, we'll save a seat for ''ya!
I love the "On Board Welder" comment! What happens when I need to "Fill Up", and my Tools (and Spare Parts) are in the way? (Geez, maybe I shoulda kept that Side Filler). I love the Sales Pitch: "I drove this through a Blizzard". 5/4-ton axles, but a Dana 60 up front??? I would like to see a follow-up video on this vehicle, to see how it worked.
its like he googled "cool parts to put on a expedition vehicle" but has never been out exploring. We put King shocks on it because they look cool but we only have 4" up travel.
I agree........filler on the inside floor.......with 1000 lbs of stuff on it.....I think the original military location was ok.......put a lock on the cap. And yes, the emergency brake cables are just waiting to be snagged. Roof top for spare tires......NOT! They can be mounted on the driver side....behind the door...in front of the rear fender. That is where I mounted my 37" spare. And.....yes the paint scheme is......is not kosher!
Needs a rear bumper. No matter what. Plus thank you J. L. for calling it a truck. Not a pickup truck. My dad pushed vehicles out with his back bumper on his PowerWagon. Nice Truck, I like it👍
My Dad had a dodge Power Wagon when I was little!! I remember having to be lifted in any time we got in because I couldn't quite get my foot up high enough to climb in... lol! It was a blue, almost purplish color to me, but the clear coat was long gone and the blue paint was very oxidized. We thought it was neat to rub our hands along it and leave prints behind and come away with blue hands!
This guy should hire Jay as a build consultant, i like Jays approach way better. There should be a heavy duty bumper,... the pushee will at some point be the pushed guaranteed no matter how capable it is. I don't understand why he was so braggish about how EVERYTHING was built 4x's heavier than it needed to be, but he put an electric winch on it, i don't care how many thousands of pounds the manufacturer said it will pull... it'll pull a small fraction of the weight a power take off winch will pull, see SUPERJEEP on Alaskan road warriors, its what made his offroad truck better than everyone else's. It's a wonderful truck, with a few minor changes it would even be better.
Also the Dana 60 axle on the front, it seems to me he said it was a 5 -1/4 ton, the Dana 60 is a mighty fine axle, but its made for a 3/4 ton truck and he said EVERYTHING was built way heavier than it needed to be. I hope the guy who's paying 250k doesn't see this show.
@@jerkyturkey007 exactly my 1989 2500 cab chassis truck has the damn dana under it its nothing special its just a 14 bolt rear end... he up plays this "medium duty truck" too much but im willing to bet bumper to bumper a 3/4 ton 4x4 would hurt its feelings
Owner will hate the service brake on that aftermarket disk brake conversion. Who's idea was it to mount the calipers at the 12 o'clock position? Guess to trying to get the service brake cable a bit higher at the cost of making bleeding a pain. Put a service brake on the transfer case output. That way the service brake works reliably, and you don't have to mess with the cables, and can put the caliper in the correct orientation. Fuel filler needs to be sorted out. It was a short cut, and we all know it. Ditch the shutoff solenoid for a cable. Hope the owner does a few chase/shake down's in the states before shipping it abroad.
How do you refuel it with your tools inside? Also how do you reach your tools in the back of the truck when you have something on the tailgate/workbench? You are standing in the sun/rain and can't reach or see drawers above shoulder height. Having a couple of 3cm thick work benchs that has folding legs so it can be moved anywhere and if firm mounting is needed it clips onto either side of the truck above the rear tire has been better as you can work on the less dusty and safer side of the road. Ours clip together with a 1msq centre to make a dining or gearbox rebuilding table
Something about old school trucks I just love. Old Wagoners, Land Cruisers Broncos, Scouts . New SUVs are great but they Lack the honest brutally of there older counter points.
I love this thing, reminds me of the first Army vehicle i drove. It was an m715, it was like the Army version of the jeep wagoneer pick up. That thing would go anywhere.
Gotta admit that was pretty rinky. Like you say, the padlocks will rattle something fierce if you drive it down the road with them on, let alone off-road. It'll scar up the paint pretty quick too. So you're going to want to leave them off when driving. That means extra inconvenience every time you leave the truck or come back to it. Real easy to forget or just not bother. There goes your security. A crowbar in hand is all it takes for a criminal to make quick work of the lightweight latches. No need to pick the padlocks. If sturdiness was the driving concern, he sure missed the boat with those latches. Ridiculous after spending 150 pounds of weight on the tailgate door itself.
Suggestion for future show, if possible, find his ckient in about 2 years and see what this fantastic Monster has become. This put a HUGE smile on my face!
Anyone else notice the rear shocks were completely bottomed out when it was on the lift? For a quarter million dollars you would think they could at least manage to get that correct. It is also funny that this guy says they designed it to carry tools and parts as a chase vehicle, but if you want to put fuel in it you have to remove all of that and stretch all the way into the truck to get at the fuel door as if they couldn't imagine a way to lock the fuel door from a reasonable position. For Christ sake the rear door requires pad locks if you want to secure it. What a joke. More money than brains club vehicle for sure.
Yeah, there were a couple of quirky things about this truck that made me scratch my head and you mentioned most of them. I also thought the e-brake lines dangling in big hoops beneath the rear axle was just asking for them to get ripped off when off-roading. And the big long-tube King shocks look cool, but it looks like they only had about 3 inches of travel, and like you said, they were bottomed out in the rear. Very strange! Some things were really well thought-out, and others really weren't. Like you said, for the money, I'd expect a lot more attention to detail.
@@meadmaker4525 Bet it rides like a dump truck , Not much here . Did not even do a shackle flip for the leaf springs . No shock travel . Could never drive this off road ... Cheap locking lugs on the Dana 60. No e-locker or air locker in the rear .. I could go on...
I used to say I'd give up body parts for a truck like this, but now that I have kids... I made a CarryAll a coroner's truck in a book series, I love these so much.

jay west I've got to agree with you on the fuel door. Other than that it looks like a well thought out build. They didn't mention what's in the front axle but if it was my truck I'd have a Detroit Locker in the front axle as well. I guess there are a few other tweaks I'd make too: - a bit more height/spring in the rear so it sits level and rides well with 1500-2500 lbs on board (or if I needed it to use it regularly carrying wildly different loads I'd install heavy duty rear air suspension). - a large compressed air tank mounted underneath somewhere. - strong skid plates protecting vulnerable components. - off-road differential covers that can handle being driven into rocks without buckling. - something to allow me to winch from the rear (moveable winch, dual winches, or a pulley setup to route the winch cable to the rear). - high power CB radio with a whip antenna. - single color paint, probably white. - a rear 12V power jack (to power a cooler/fridge) - a built in 15A (or more) 120V inverter and a few standard 120V outlets. - if the atlas transfer case doesn't have a 4:1 low range I'd add it. - strong cup holders for each passenger (two for each front passenger). - strong, functional rock sliders to protect the rocker panels and provide additional frame torsional stiffness. - removable custom built tool and parts storage for everything needed to support the race/rally vehicles. - removable rear seats with seatbelts to seat up to 8 passengers, including driver. Then it would be my ultimate heavy duty chase truck.
this might be the coolest looking car i seen in Jays garage i kinda like how they detune it to be more reliable but the hp seem a bit small for a big car like that
15:24 "You don't need any electricity for this car", Hang on mate, you've ripped out a PTO winch and replaced it with a 12volt electric winch. I thought this was to be reliable and dependable.
The paint scheme reminds me of an early 1990s Isuzu Rodeo I used to see, where I live. However, that SUV had blue up front, white in the rear. Also, merry Christmas to all!
The one wire turns the fuel solenoid on not off. Actually it takes two one for the start solenoid position and one for run. as far as tunisia ? they left allot of the equipment overseas after the war especially the less expensive harmless stuff like a truck. So it is possible but not likely

In love this thing. Especially the way this guy built it. Love the diesel off road 4x4. Reliable. Dourable. Perfect.
Merry Christmas Jay. Thanks for all you do!
Hi Jay and guys. I am actually the organizer of the rally where this baby will be servicing. I've read the comments here, and I believe that if you never made a rally like the one we're putting together you can't actualy be certain of this vehicle capabilities. I have some experience crossing south and central america with different types of vehicles, from comfortable 4x4s to classic cars from the 20s. This truck will be servicing a 1938 Chevrolet coupe known as the Fangio as it is a replica of the one the Juan Manuel Fangio used to race in his early days. The color patern also mimics the car, this is why this truck has the paint scheme like you see it. So Jay, if you want to come along in this adventure, we'll save a seat for ''ya!
I love the "On Board Welder" comment! What happens when I need to "Fill Up", and my Tools (and Spare Parts) are in the way? (Geez, maybe I shoulda kept that Side Filler). I love the Sales Pitch: "I drove this through a Blizzard". 5/4-ton axles, but a Dana 60 up front??? I would like to see a follow-up video on this vehicle, to see how it worked.
Smart guy with no practical experience.
Lots of poorly thought out little things I saw like that. Cringed when they had it up on the lift and saw where he put the batteries.
its like he googled "cool parts to put on a expedition vehicle" but has never been out exploring. We put King shocks on it because they look cool but we only have 4" up travel.
I agree........filler on the inside floor.......with 1000 lbs of stuff on it.....I think the original military location was ok.......put a lock on the cap. And yes, the emergency brake cables are just waiting to be snagged. Roof top for spare tires......NOT! They can be mounted on the driver side....behind the door...in front of the rear fender. That is where I mounted my 37" spare. And.....yes the paint scheme is......is not kosher!
mipmipmipmipmip replace anything critical, tail lights arent critical.
So jealous! Not much for that 2 tone, but that thing is so awesome.
Merry Christmas!
May Santa bless Jay with more tshirts too!
Needs a rear bumper. No matter what.
Plus thank you J. L. for calling it a truck. Not a pickup truck. My dad pushed vehicles out with his back bumper on his PowerWagon.
Nice Truck, I like it👍
Merry Christmas Jay! Thanks for all you do!!
My Dad had a dodge Power Wagon when I was little!! I remember having to be lifted in any time we got in because I couldn't quite get my foot up high enough to climb in... lol! It was a blue, almost purplish color to me, but the clear coat was long gone and the blue paint was very oxidized. We thought it was neat to rub our hands along it and leave prints behind and come away with blue hands!
This guy should hire Jay as a build consultant, i like Jays approach way better. There should be a heavy duty bumper,... the pushee will at some point be the pushed guaranteed no matter how capable it is.
I don't understand why he was so braggish about how EVERYTHING was built 4x's heavier than it needed to be, but he put an electric winch on it, i don't care how many thousands of pounds the manufacturer said it will pull... it'll pull a small fraction of the weight a power take off winch will pull, see SUPERJEEP on Alaskan road warriors, its what made his offroad truck better than everyone else's.
It's a wonderful truck, with a few minor changes it would even be better.
Also the Dana 60 axle on the front, it seems to me he said it was a 5 -1/4 ton, the Dana 60 is a mighty fine axle, but its made for a 3/4 ton truck and he said EVERYTHING was built way heavier than it needed to be. I hope the guy who's paying 250k doesn't see this show.
@@jerkyturkey007 exactly my 1989 2500 cab chassis truck has the damn dana under it its nothing special its just a 14 bolt rear end... he up plays this "medium duty truck" too much but im willing to bet bumper to bumper a 3/4 ton 4x4 would hurt its feelings
Ik a sleezy salesman when I see one and this guy is def one.
Rear brake lines dangling down low are an accident waiting to happen, they should be re-routed above and over the axle.
exactly. The brake lines are very vulnerable...
This is one of Jay's best interviews and demonstrations.
How do you fill it with fuel when the back has 1000 pounds of stuff?
you unload 500lbs of it....
Leave a 6 inch space from the door to the filler cap.
I was thinking the same thing. May have to relocate the filler door
And gas pump hoses always drip and leave a smell. This time inside the truck.
Just strike a match and burn it off!
Jay is looking good. I hope I age that well. Jays car collection is legendary.
mr bent looked so peeved when jay made fun of his name lol, loved it.
i think the peeved look came from when he mentioned the $250 000 price tag just prior to that
WOW ok I've never filmed one of those, gnarly custom Carryall. Looks plenty capable.
Owner will hate the service brake on that aftermarket disk brake conversion. Who's idea was it to mount the calipers at the 12 o'clock position? Guess to trying to get the service brake cable a bit higher at the cost of making bleeding a pain. Put a service brake on the transfer case output. That way the service brake works reliably, and you don't have to mess with the cables, and can put the caliper in the correct orientation. Fuel filler needs to be sorted out. It was a short cut, and we all know it. Ditch the shutoff solenoid for a cable. Hope the owner does a few chase/shake down's in the states before shipping it abroad.
Shain Andrews How about both ? What happens if at high mileage a u joint breaks ? Instant no parking brake. My opinion,both would be better.
How do you refuel it with your tools inside? Also how do you reach your tools in the back of the truck when you have something on the tailgate/workbench? You are standing in the sun/rain and can't reach or see drawers above shoulder height. Having a couple of 3cm thick work benchs that has folding legs so it can be moved anywhere and if firm mounting is needed it clips onto either side of the truck above the rear tire has been better as you can work on the less dusty and safer side of the road. Ours clip together with a 1msq centre to make a dining or gearbox rebuilding table
Something about old school trucks I just love. Old Wagoners, Land Cruisers Broncos, Scouts . New SUVs are great but they Lack the honest brutally of there older counter points.
Good vehicle to use during the zombie apocalypse. Simple, easy to maintain.
Leorstef but not in a Rally or Race.
Nice build. He has built about 101 similar. Thanks for showing.
Merry Christmas Jay! thanks for all the videos, us car guys really appreciate it.
Look forward to all the cars you'll show us in 2018
I love this thing, reminds me of the first Army vehicle i drove. It was an m715, it was like the Army version of the jeep wagoneer pick up. That thing would go anywhere.
padlocks will be shaking and tapping like hell while on the trails.
And they just stick something through the lock and twist it off
You put the locks when you park the car.
Gotta admit that was pretty rinky. Like you say, the padlocks will rattle something fierce if you drive it down the road with them on, let alone off-road. It'll scar up the paint pretty quick too. So you're going to want to leave them off when driving. That means extra inconvenience every time you leave the truck or come back to it. Real easy to forget or just not bother. There goes your security.
A crowbar in hand is all it takes for a criminal to make quick work of the lightweight latches. No need to pick the padlocks. If sturdiness was the driving concern, he sure missed the boat with those latches. Ridiculous after spending 150 pounds of weight on the tailgate door itself.
Definitely those rear latches are a fail !
Who cares when in any other vehicle you can just smash the window. Same as this one
Suggestion for future show, if possible, find his ckient in about 2 years and see what this fantastic Monster has become. This put a HUGE smile on my face!
Anyone else notice the rear shocks were completely bottomed out when it was on the lift? For a quarter million dollars you would think they could at least manage to get that correct. It is also funny that this guy says they designed it to carry tools and parts as a chase vehicle, but if you want to put fuel in it you have to remove all of that and stretch all the way into the truck to get at the fuel door as if they couldn't imagine a way to lock the fuel door from a reasonable position. For Christ sake the rear door requires pad locks if you want to secure it. What a joke. More money than brains club vehicle for sure.
As for the shocks, when off roading you also need downwards travel in the suspension, plus they will most probably be adjustable as well.
Yeah, there were a couple of quirky things about this truck that made me scratch my head and you mentioned most of them. I also thought the e-brake lines dangling in big hoops beneath the rear axle was just asking for them to get ripped off when off-roading. And the big long-tube King shocks look cool, but it looks like they only had about 3 inches of travel, and like you said, they were bottomed out in the rear. Very strange! Some things were really well thought-out, and others really weren't. Like you said, for the money, I'd expect a lot more attention to detail.
Shocks are blown. Oil leaks from rear shock
I agree. Love Jay, but this episode is not one of my favorites. Bent came across as very pompous, and I loved that Jay challenged him.
@@meadmaker4525 Bet it rides like a dump truck , Not much here . Did not even do a shackle flip for the leaf springs . No shock travel . Could never drive this off road ... Cheap locking lugs on the Dana 60. No e-locker or air locker in the rear .. I could go on...
That's kind of amazing that you're running a 1 1/4 ton truck at 8000 lbs still getting 19mpg at 70. That's one hell of a burly long distance combo.
why not make a denim shirt with the logo?
ikr
life needs change sometimes , even for Jay
I'd buy one then.
That would really be in the spirit of the show
Yes...he could do his own brand “Leno Denim”
I used to say I'd give up body parts for a truck like this, but now that I have kids...
I made a CarryAll a coroner's truck in a book series, I love these so much.
I want a JAY LENO'S GARAGE *denim* shirt...for xmas
Just loved this episode like the last one with Winslow Bent. Just the right amount of "mods" to be sensible.
... And just enough stupid anomalies to make the truck unuseable in the real world.
I miss the denim but damn Jay looking good to be his age ,keep it up Mr Leno!!
Obviously Jay had been reading the comments of people mocking his shirt.
They should make him denim shirts with the logo on them.
Jay looks like he's been hitting the gym. He looks more fit than a year ago.
adds 'just a touch of class' too, I think .
+Martin Quin well jay recieved some threats from competing car brand fans,from favoring ford over chevy,for ex.. and word on the street was get the guy in "all denim",thus the new shirt,,
13:43 PTO winches just keep going as long as you carry sheer bolts, the Warn overheats when used too much and then you need some one to rewind the motor, of coarse that's only if you manage escape your predicament in the first place, lol.
Jay looks weird without his Canadian tuxedo!!!!!!
Yeah it's wrong.
+John Hughes they are disney imagineering anamatronic prosthetic arms,look closely,they are modeled after captain hook's arms in the peter pan ride..jay lost his arms in that rollover accident that senile dragracer caused..sad but true
jquest43 LMAO That`s so friggin funny!
+John Hughes ☻
@John Hughes
What is this about a drag racing accident?
Had a mate in the sixties who had jeeps an an original wartime carryall….. great lookin motor.😎
Terrible idea having to fuel inside. Have to move cargo/tools to fill up.
If he’s that worried about tampering or theft use a locking cap.
jay west I've got to agree with you on the fuel door. Other than that it looks like a well thought out build.
They didn't mention what's in the front axle but if it was my truck I'd have a Detroit Locker in the front axle as well.
I guess there are a few other tweaks I'd make too:
- a bit more height/spring in the rear so it sits level and rides well with 1500-2500 lbs on board (or if I needed it to use it regularly carrying wildly different loads I'd install heavy duty rear air suspension).
- a large compressed air tank mounted underneath somewhere.
- strong skid plates protecting vulnerable components.
- off-road differential covers that can handle being driven into rocks without buckling.
- something to allow me to winch from the rear (moveable winch, dual winches, or a pulley setup to route the winch cable to the rear).
- high power CB radio with a whip antenna.
- single color paint, probably white.
- a rear 12V power jack (to power a cooler/fridge)
- a built in 15A (or more) 120V inverter and a few standard 120V outlets.
- if the atlas transfer case doesn't have a 4:1 low range I'd add it.
- strong cup holders for each passenger (two for each front passenger).
- strong, functional rock sliders to protect the rocker panels and provide additional frame torsional stiffness.
- removable custom built tool and parts storage for everything needed to support the race/rally vehicles.
- removable rear seats with seatbelts to seat up to 8 passengers, including driver.
Then it would be my ultimate heavy duty chase truck.
Agree! Not nice having diesel fumes in the car, bleh
Yeah, those work ...NOT!
stupid idea.
And even more stupid justification.
Ridiculous place to put fuel filler.
Can't help but like this guy, no BS, straight shooter brass tax kind of man!
How is the “Jay Leno’s Garage” embroidered shirt a polo and not a Jean shirt?! Missed the boat on that one!
Totally ... I’d buy a “ *Jay Leno’s Garage* “ embroidered faded denim shirt online in a heartbeat 💗 ... vs a polo-shirt which isn’t my style.
this might be the coolest looking car i seen in Jays garage i kinda like how they detune it to be more reliable but the hp seem a bit small for a big car like that
What about skid plates to protect the fuel tank, oil pan, and drive train?
Will never ever be offroad... so no need. Lol
@@LeglessWonder this is built do go offroad dunce
@@LeglessWonder Did you listen to anything that was said?
I'd be guessing they haven't been added as yet, it's not quite finished.
Marvin De Bot yep, which is how I know they aren’t serious about off-roading
I like Winslow Bent. Jays right thats such a truck guy name, keep him coming back. Merry Christmas Jay and crew
15:24 "You don't need any electricity for this car", Hang on mate, you've ripped out a PTO winch and replaced it with a 12volt electric winch.
I thought this was to be reliable and dependable.
Exactly. Stupid idea. PTO is what you want for hard work and reliability...
@@thysonsacclaim Thank you Adam, I glad to see I'm not alone on this.
excellent point! The ELECTRIC winch is not a PTO...MAYBE Harbor Freight...
The paint scheme reminds me of an early 1990s Isuzu Rodeo I used to see, where I live. However, that SUV had blue up front, white in the rear. Also, merry Christmas to all!
You strap on a 10 dollar tractor air filter and call it Donaldson just so it sounds cool. Love the way they market crap. The suv is great though.
These guys, Resto-Mods done right. Most of the time, I don't care much for them, but some, I do like. This is one that I like.
Seems like a mistake to me to have the fuel cap on the inside if the car is supposed to be a support vehicle with a bunch of equipment in the back.
support-his-bank-account vehicle
The guy is full of crap.
"Only one wire to the engine , to shut off the fuel"
And the truck spent the war in Tunisia... BS
The one wire turns the fuel solenoid on not off. Actually it takes two one for the start solenoid position and one for run.
as far as tunisia ? they left allot of the equipment overseas after the war especially the less expensive harmless stuff like a truck. So it is possible but not likely
Yep, and there's no driving in water to just below the air cleaner when the fuel tank takes in water through the cap vent.
A locking gas cap would have worked just fine for security and been a lot more convenient.
I have alot of respect for this builder, great job.
Jay we want jean shirts with the JLG logo. We all have T's already.
That is something you can take around the world and then some, and still see my 41 Plymouth in your shadow and Merry Christmas Jay!
Holy hell, there's so much wrong with this thing. And Jay called him out on like half of it. 🤣
The first SUV , WONDERFUL looking vehicle ....
