    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'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.

      Probably because it's cheaper.

    • @thetman0068
      @thetman0068 8 років тому +1

      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
      @mr.intensity2685 5 років тому

      @@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

    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.

  • @DocWolph
    @DocWolph 8 років тому +1

    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.
