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 .
$1,100 was a lot of money in early 60's i think most brand new cars sold for $2000-$3000
@@funtyes1970 in 1961, that would have been the equivalent of about $11,000 today.
@@Equinox866 quite the after-school gig
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
You can tell when Jay is really interested in a vehicle. He is asking great questions and is very engaged with the guy. Cool truck.
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 .
Finally! A restomod that actually makes sense. Everything has a purpose. Good job.
"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
i know that pain lol
Your fronts wouldn't be really dug in because your hubs aren't locked, maybe just a little under.
yes because the front of the truck was filled with helium
Panthers Hockey They wouldn't be dug in but sunk in. I do agree that it can suck.
i had no idea you were there! why didn't you help me out then, jeez!
A year and a half later and this dude looks like he aged about 20 years but Jay Leno still looks the exact same
My grandfather had one of those Dodge Carryalls when I was a kid. He had a couple of Diamond T winch trucks too.
Americans lucky AF.
I love how he integrated the roll cage into the interior panelling
OldRed91 this is so if you hit a tree or roll the truck due to the high centre of gravity it bends the entire body not just breaking the rack.
Dudes never heard of a locking gas cap... can you pick that lock? yes, but if you're in that mood, you can also pick a tailgate lock...
He is talking about locking up the vehicle and making it secure at the same time we are looking at a big ax mounted on the outside of the vehicle.
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.
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 came so close to buying one of the power wagons these dudes make three years ago. I love Legacy's work!
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.
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.
Glad someone else noticed the shocks. Thing has no travel
bout a year later lets see that real resto mod dodge
@Donk for offroad it is
found a 42 pw 6x6 cab and everything in great shape, cant wait to buildit up,
He really knows what he's talking mechanically about this power wagon....it's awsome
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.
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.
Yes, Yes,Yes Jay isn't even an off road guy and he schooled this guy. No rear push bumper, no gel batteries etc etc. Bravo Jay !!!
I think the cables operate on the disk calipers, but I get your point. Catch one, and the brake may apply before cable ripped out.
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.
Punch a hole in the bottom of the tank, too easy to overcome the locked up fuel tank.
Quite the character this Winslow guy is
At 3:12 he says the name power wagon came in 1946, but ive just watched another episode of Jay Leno with a 1942 power wagon! oupsie!
"Jay, can you recommend somebody to restore my classic Dodge Power Wagon?" Jay Leno: "Get Bent..."
Jay slapped him around about the batteries, lol
timgraysontv dudes right about the charging though. You can’t deep cycle spiral tops right?
@@brkbtjunkie you can with the blue tops,,, but again, I bought optimas when they first debuted and had a couple for 6 years.
The newer ones just dont live. I have lost more money on them than I care to think of.
If you really read these comments Jay,,, maybe a guy with your sway, could either get them to do something about their lack of quality these days
Loved watching this guy....so passionate about his truck..... One of the best videos of the show
Jay's enthusiasm for sharing his collection is the best part of his shows.
EMP Blast
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.

Merry Christmas Jay. This channel remains one of the most entertaining and informative on youtube.
Jay is throwing all kinds of shade at this dude 🌈😂😂
Jay like him
Your definition of “ *shade* “ is rather shady. You’re mistaken in your interpretation of his interactions.
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
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...
Love Dodge, big fan of Mopar and you Jay. Also have a Happy Merry Christmas to and your family Jay.
Bent is a goofy bugger most of you picked up on along with the fuel, air and other mods the owner will have to change once down the road.
I'm just
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.
“you can just go to any parts store and replace anything on this vehicle “ - uses custom-made LED lights...
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!
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.
He's sure proud of that 150 fricken pound tailgate.
Beautiful truck Jay. Merry Christmas to you and the crew.
Looooooooooove===it
+SRM Solar radiation management Geoengineering Lol!
Happy festivus
All I want for Christmas is to hang out with Jay for a day!
jake Langeman YES!!
You and me both mate.
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. 😁
""you can plug into any 110V"" There it goes your international chase truck .... COME ON !!!!
Merry Christmas Jay! Thanks for all you do!!
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.
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!
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!
"When I do a restomod, I try to make it cost as much as a new Ferrari for some rich guy that uses $100 bills as kindling."
WOW ok I've never filmed one of those, gnarly custom Carryall. Looks plenty capable.
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!!
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”
Merry Christmas!
May Santa bless Jay with more tshirts too!
Loved this video. I like how this guy took a historical truck and update it to 2017/18. I also love the shirt. Just has sharp looking on you as your other shirt. Merry Christmas to you and your family and crew. Thank you for sharing
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.
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
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
all I want is episodes with jay and winslow. What an awesome couple of guys and some amazing machines.
This is one of Jay's best interviews and demonstrations.
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
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,,
I love this truck! Best restomod since this guys power wagon.
I love hearing very minimal ah.. pauses in this mans speech. You can tell he is passionate and knowledgeable about his trucks builds.
Damn, that thing is gorgeous! Great job. Thank u jay for the awesome, informative, entertaining videos. Keep up the good work sir.
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.
Fabulous vehicle!! Thanks for showing it to us.
Best got damn resto mod ever. Winslow Bent is effing genius
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.
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
Pretty neat! I appreciate the craftsmanship of this vehicle!
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.
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 see alot things wrong in this rebuild wires under side loose not in cable protectors gas filler inside that might be a violation of some kind batt box under the chassis is a big one with no protection from rocks hitting it busting the batts they should be under the hood with hood locks they also make metal tubes with sight glass in them for the transfer box be better then that rubber tube is that even rated for oil gas ?
The sight tube on the transfer case comes with it. I see glass cracking because of shock. Now I agree there is a lack of under body protection. But it is mostly going to be driving on unmaintained roads not rock crawling.
Thank you Jay, for this wonderful channel.
Great work Jay, as always!
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 ARB compressor is for filling tires, it cannot run air tools.
He did say you can run any size tank you want for the application
... Again, the air compressor is there for the bling look and not to run any tools. Filling those Japanese tires might be all it would be good for.
I have alot of respect for this builder, great job.
So jealous! Not much for that 2 tone, but that thing is so awesome.
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?
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
Rubber coated padlocks by Masterlock. Get rid of that stupid tailgate. It's way too heavy. Get some gel batteries that are sealed.
Because i want to unpack the truck to fill up said no one ever!
@@gregorytimmons4777 Master Lock's a REALLY easy to pick
Never seen one...but sure would love to own one! What an amazing truck!
Nice build. He has built about 101 similar. Thanks for showing.
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.
I want a JAY LENO'S GARAGE *denim* shirt...for xmas
Super cool vehicle as usual Jay, thanx for the video. Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year to you and yours
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!
guy with grey hair: we got a couple of cigarette lighters.
guy with white hair: we call em power plugs now 🔌.
😂
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.
Great video again Jay. Some strange choices in the development of this car but interesting !
Happy New Year, Jay. Keep up the good work.
Great video J

lol the shocks in the front have 3 inches of travel at full droop and the rear seems to be fully compressed. Maybe look into that.
Well, he is using the tire, with its large sidewall, for bump absorption and the major suspension component. See his comments about Mercedes diesel engine which indicate he is building for reliability not speed and hitting dunes at 70 mph. Since he actually built the truck and stated the suspension is his shops design and that he fabricated the leaf springs- I think they "look into that"
Not a lot of articulation with nearly no travel, probably be the first failure in the middle of nowhere
Thhe truck is lifted from the tires. How can u see the full droop?
Those front shocks look plain goofy. If the truck were dropped vertically front a height, or an elephant sat on the hood, they'd do their job nicely. But if you jam into a boulder that doesn't budge while going 40, I'd like to see one of those angled to absorb longitudinal shocks.
Mn09lfV6f Just my opinion but I think the suspension and his fabricated leaf springs are a pretty poor idea among everything Jay and everyone else has noted. Build an expensive vehicle and show it off to the world at JayLeno`s Garage expect to get nit picked.
Now that was a beautiful video. Great work!
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.
Come to sunny Mazatlán Mexico, we've got several places that will do leaf springs no problem!
There’s probably millions
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 these things! The Dodge version of the Suburban! So cool! And, Merry Xmas to everyone!
these kinds of vehicles are my favorite episodes. would love to see it offroad.
these batteries just hanging there with electrodes exposed.....wow....
the owners wanted lots of sparks for that "action" effect!
Won’t they short out if you drive in chassis-depth water? Well short of the air filter. Those door seals don’t look very waterproof either.
Jay we want jean shirts with the JLG logo. We all have T's already.
