Highly recommend looking into Joel's other builds. If you're into vintage JDM. He's a really nice guy and literally builds all of his vehicles in his backyard. He is a true gearhead. Keep up the good work, Joel. Thanks AutotopiaLA for giving Joel some love.
This is an “Owner type jeep” in the Philippines. Back in 70s -90s these are popular, usually assembled in Cavite City Malabon City, they used surplus 4k engines from Japan.
Those were modeled after the Willy's. His is an original Willy's body. Noticed how the windshield can be brought down? But yeah. Those types of cars are scattered all over the Philippines.
That was pretty cool. I love that that seat was loose, no seat belts, breaks... yeah its got brakes LOL. The rear frame look sketchy AF. Joel was pretty chill.... sounds like he is Filipino and they are experts and modding jeeps.
I've never personally seen the point in dropping a 4wd and honestly I've never really been all that into jeeps but this thing is absolutely awesome. Would bang.
I'm a new member and you had me hooked. The shows are interesting and the vehicles are usually very unique. Best one I've seen so far was the turbo 6 Regal. I'm a Buick fan from way back. I would go to Bowling Green for the Nationals every year for 20 years straight
Man, I love jeepies....was very popular in the Philippines in the 90s. Happy to see this one again...and surprisingly in the states. Is this road legit? Love it. Hope you guys can build many to compete with the popular golf carts or club cars. More power. Hope you guys build a full size Chariot Jeepney popularized in Cebu.
The loophole is you need a original willy's frame with serial number to get it registered in United States. Then the owner build it similar to Filipino OTJ style.
shawn we call that thing (beast) "owner type jeep" in the Philippines.. there is even a Philippine plate at the back of the driver UUI413.. (6:33) Car Porn Racing.. Angie King must be proud of it..
This is bad to the bone! I love it. You can tell this thing is dangerous af but awesome! Check out the quick flashes of the suspension stuff he did to it. Definitely a 110v harbor freight flux core wire feed. We all have to start somewhere and this is a genuine home grown garage built beautiful machine. It don’t matter where the style is from bad ass is bad ass regardless.
yep hold on to your seats because you can get trown overboard on this oldtimer😁😁😁 This thing cracked me up,pure genius and these projects are the best part of the whole tuning scene👍✌️👉
Back in the day Filipinos started customizing willys after u.s. g.i.'s left the jeeps in the bases here in the philippines. Filipinos changed the bodies to stainless because some are all rusted out. Some for family use and some for passenger ones, they stretched it out and thats how passenger "jeepneys" are born.
True Filipino!! I was just watching OTJ’s in the Philippines and man I miss home so much!! Thank you po and congrat Ganda Talaga at ang sama pa talaga nga hatak!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
A very great looking jeep you can advice him to put a winch in the front and DRL lights. This is just how I think would look more good . Keep it up Greetings fro India
It's commonly know in the Philippines as the "Owner Type Jeep", "Owner", and in my province, "Jiffy". I remember the day when you'd see 5 of those lined up in a traffic light any day. With varying heights and style. Some with the original body and other custom copy builds of the same fashion. Twas also the entry level car for a lot of teenage drivers. Usually donning a Toyota 4k engine. This one though is a pretty refined version, and very well suited up.
In the 90’s we used to drag race jeep or Willy’s.A lot of Willy’s enthusiasts and fanatics in the Philippine.Its exciting and perfect for Philippine tropical weather to drive.
It's Setting on a prewar willies Jeep frame so the only features needed are the standard operating Safty equipment used in it's Year of manufacturer Basicly if it wasn't born with it your not required to have it installed
go to iloilo philippines you can see them everywhere and they build them all with loud big exhaust.. like a plane.. 4 miles aways still you can hear them roaring ...
This is a completely different build with completely different goals and ideas from the supercharged LSX Willy’s. Also was not built or owed by Cletus.
I think everyone started to wanta watch and no who Cletus was then after driving the 1320 willys jeep tht actually went thu diff motors and setups thu it's time ,regardless tit for tat it's fkn close enough and this one is fkn turd compared to the 1320 willys, thanks...keyboard genius. ..God dam...lol
Great build and the speed is magnified so close to the pavement. If Shawn needed a pencil sharpened, he just had to lower it to the ground for a second to get to the point!!!
He’s not the first though. Been seeing that kind of vehicle here in the Philippines since the 90’s or late 80s. Province of cavite is most popular in buiding that kind of customs.
I dig how different and creative this is but........... as a professional fabricator in the past, that thing is a deathtrap. Really poor weld quality on the front suspension mounts and less than 1" of up travel on the rear suspension will send this thing into a major slid in a fraction of a second. Please, please, please get the stuff that's no fun squared away for your safety and the safety of others on the road!
People in the Philippines have been driving those jeeps since forever but not that powerful though and much sketchier builds. We've owned one for a few years i even learned to drive in it.

Balls of steel 😎
Seat belts weren't invented yet when this jeep came out. Not required to have them.
Haha...This comment made my day..in other words man, "Buwis buhay"
Hahaha 😂
Only safety feature is... Prayer.. Or what we call.. Dasal huehuehue

When I first saw the thumbnail, I knew it had something to do with the Philippines.
emdec55 you got it
@@AutotopiaLA Yeah PINOY MADE.
Yeah, but that jeep is came from U.S.
@@classicthoughts8376 The jeep is probably imported there because you can see a Philippine license plate in the back.
@@mrjppizza6507 yeah, but i want to say is that "jeep willy's" is originaly came from the u.s. during the world war 2

Lots of this in Philippines 🇵🇭, we call this OTJ or Owner Type Jeep. And this lowered small model we called this OTJ tamiya or OTJ Tikya.
yes bro thats tikya
Those were modeled after the Willy's. His is an original Willy's body. Noticed how the windshield can be brought down? But yeah. Those types of cars are scattered all over the Philippines.

8:12 full plate
The owner is proud of his heritage
Even our flag is seen here.... proud filipino!!!!
I think it is from Philippines, because I saw the "Matatag Na Republika"" plate at the side. Proudly pinoy made 🔥
Swear I just saw this thing in covina ca
just the builder is filipino
@@EnglertRacing96 yea I think it saw it a couple months back somewhere in South LA County too, he's living the life cruising around SoCal😂
also the sticker on the back of the jeep
also the sticker on the back of the jeep
This guy's a genius and crazy.....I love everything about it....I wouldn't change a thing. Genius stuff.....nice guy too.
That's the coolest thing I have ever seen, and you two guys never stopped smiling so much fun.
This thing's crazy! Looks bouncy as hell. Definitely a unique build!
J.F Cote stiff, bouncy and completely unique
Made in the Phillippines!
That was pretty cool. I love that that seat was loose, no seat belts, breaks... yeah its got brakes LOL. The rear frame look sketchy AF. Joel was pretty chill.... sounds like he is Filipino and they are experts and modding jeeps.
Robert DeMilo he is Filipino and creative in his approach. Wouldn’t wanna drive it far but sure was a fun ride
that prestone decals on his hood reminds me of true filipino jeepney. classic.💯👌
We have alot of that "ONER" in the Philippines back in 80's
Ryan Perez seaman lang nakakabili nyan noon. Based on my observation. Hehe
Gusto mo na? Di ka na? Ah hindi rin dahil sa lugar namin mga hindi seaman nakabili sila mga ordinaryong nagtatrabaho. May mga pambili din.
Cool build. I would put a harness bar with at least a four point harness for safety.
>safety
Safety is not tradional.
- Owner Type Jeep riders from the Philippines
I've never personally seen the point in dropping a 4wd and honestly I've never really been all that into jeeps but this thing is absolutely awesome. Would bang.
I'm a new member and you had me hooked. The shows are interesting and the vehicles are usually very unique. Best one I've seen so far was the turbo 6 Regal. I'm a Buick fan from way back. I would go to Bowling Green for the Nationals every year for 20 years straight
Dave Woodmancy awesome and thanks for joining the channel. We try to keep it interesting and mix it up all the time. More to come 👊
This vehicle looks like a lot of fun, 200hp is not big but I am sure you don't want more power an a 1200 lbs jeep. I really like it.
Power to weight is pretty solid. 200 whp with 1200 lbs is cool with me
Man, I love jeepies....was very popular in the Philippines in the 90s. Happy to see this one again...and surprisingly in the states. Is this road legit? Love it.

Philippines: kapit lang
Hahaha!
Shawn you always come up with the coolest rides! I like how you cover ever Spectrum keep up the great work and the table talk is great!
Danny Smith thanks! Gotta give credit to Paul...he brought this crazy build in
Can't wait to see this at seafood city one of these days... super cool!!!
8:37 Matatag na Rupublika❤
this is one of the reasons why i like philippines.
Typical Filipino driver, who cares about a seatbelt on a jeep 😂😂
Wats a speed limit🤣
We only have time limits
Gotta love how the passenger is holding on for dear life.
Makes me wonder how my kabayan managed to register it from the CA DMV
It didn't come with seat belts so it doesn't have to have them
Tremendous respect for this kababayan! You rock this owner jeepney!! ❤️❤️❤️
Such a cool guy and builds what he wants
Filipino Owner Type Jeep models are waving
Ichibahn banawe shirt, Savage.
Idol Boss Joel Tan! 👍🇵🇭
Thank you so much Shawn for featuring our blood...filipino blood,...god bless you shawn and keep safe...long live shawn,,,watching from phils.
That thing looks super sketchy and I love it!! You didn’t look too comfortable in it Shawn... lmao
Andrew Miller no seat belts and a broken seat bracket made it fun and yes...a bit sketchy...but awesome!
Who needs a seat belt when there is a nice bar of metal and a fold down windscreen work of art good job
👊
Toyo tires and da rims are suka🤣 This jeep is soo filipino. Im proud of U manong 👍🏼
Joel let me sit in this car at Wekfest LA back in August. Cool and humble guy to be around with. Would love to meet him again
He’s genuinely a nice guy. Very peaceful
I bet a couple of SR20 motors would pull a premium one week before Race Wars.
Mark G we got no engines do we? 😂😂
Mark G you guys are great!
Looks so much fun and a little Scary witch is half the Battle to a fun build.
Scary yes! Fun yes! Creative yes! Love it 👊
shawn we call that thing (beast) "owner type jeep" in the Philippines.. there is even a Philippine plate at the back of the driver UUI413.. (6:33)
Car Porn Racing.. Angie King must be proud of it..
Sounds about right cause it’s a total beast and such a blast to ride in. Maybe next time I’ll get to drive it
@@AutotopiaLA yeah try it.
This is bad to the bone! I love it. You can tell this thing is dangerous af but awesome! Check out the quick flashes of the suspension stuff he did to it.

Dangerous for sure but fun and the owner loves it
A filipino werks. One of my fav dream car.. I hope someday 😍😍
A beautiful peace of work
First thought: only a Filipino would mod an older jeep like this. 🔔🔔🔔
Missing that jeepney! 😁
As a huge SR20 fan, i must say i can do nothing but like this, but as a welder, OMFG!!!! those welds on the suspension killed my eyes BLYAT
@Cristopher Reeves Tbh this car looked like it would fell in pieces if you "aint grannyshifti'n lik you should"
I hear you. Sketchy for sure but the owner loves it
That is the way for Filipino's and copied by other countries. Philippines... Mabuhay Po !!! and Thank You Very Much !!!
This thing is so creative and unique
the US military really brings the jeep at philippines and pilipinos just modified it to make longer for transfortation
Nothing to us kiwis, been on a island in the middle of nowhere we do the same shit lma
Saw this on Matt Farrah's channel a while back. What a wild build! So cool!!!
Completely unique and insane!
Love the Ichiban T-shirt from Banawe QC!
At first I thought it was a mini moke..cool build thanks..
mancaveproductions00 yeah, this one is so interesting and creative
Yeah Pilipino!! Our Great Grandfathers reinvented the classic Jeeps to suit our own 💪😎👊
I dig the creativity but..... props for showcasing his ride.
We got one, saturn engine... Still kicking and still its PAWIS steering😅
Nice one Paul! You rock keep em coming!!
He killed it on this one
yep hold on to your seats because you can get trown overboard on this oldtimer😁😁😁
This thing cracked me up,pure genius and these projects are the best part of the whole tuning scene👍✌️👉
Still waiting on the burnouts with the Hoonigan boys at the burn yard at irwindale bro....get this guys skyline on here too Shawn. .great vid 👌
CRAIG BROS RACING we’re definitely getting his og Skyline on when it’s ready
@@AutotopiaLA larry chens hoonigan piece that they posted yesterday on it was pretty good..just not long enough..check it out..
I did and it is cool. Was hoping to see some donuts too

hahaha welcome to philippines!! there's a lot of them here! so proud to see one outside the Philippines
But its a real jeep, in the philippines its a toyota
True Filipino!! I was just watching OTJ’s in the Philippines and man I miss home so much!! Thank you po and congrat Ganda Talaga at ang sama pa talaga nga hatak!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
That's so crazy. Like a cartoon from the mind of a madman!
Totally!! This thing is nuts
filipino guy: its my daily
american: holds on for dear life
No seat belts and a broken seat bracket made my ride a bit scary
Hahaha exactly my wife says 😄
🤣🤣🤣🤣
That is one sick owner type jeep. The sticker in the back gives away where the influence comes from too.
Looks like a Moke but just wayyy Quicker. Love it
this is my favorite episode. the host seemed genuinely terrified. that jeep is awesome. i want one
In the Philippines its called tamiya🇵🇭🇵🇭
the passenger truly looks like he's scared one wrong move curtains LOL
I was!
Wow so freaking clean, and sr swapped ? Very nice, 10 out of 10 awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another great video Shawn(and crew). Can't wait to see the new corvette on the channel. 👊
James Nichols thanks and I’m with you on the Vette...really wanna see it, drive it and shoot it
The welds on that front suspension mixed with the slices in the rear tires are a little sketchy..... count me out. I love the idea though.
Chad Owens I thought the same thing but he drives it all the time. Wouldn’t wanna go too far in it though but what a creative build
noticed welding as well, i can weld quite well, the key is more power
Nice build, just like the Willy's stance with those wheels
steven anderson super interesting build and sittin’ seriously low
Hope some motor company's develop and improve this type of vehicle.
A very great looking jeep you can advice him to put a winch in the front and DRL lights. This is just how I think would look more good . Keep it up Greetings fro India
I saw that philippine plate number at their back when they were driving it.

We call that in philippines owner jeep; that custom style is 'tamiya owner jeep' look it up 👍
Wow I’m gonna build one like that in the Philippines. That’s one cool vehicle! It’s like a dragster....wow!
He did such a cool job with this Willy’s. Creative for sure
People now a days: Can't lower a Jeep!
Guy from Philippines: Hold My Beer 😂😂😂
Victor Franco hold my serbesa!
Cool as, what a hoot, power to weight is amazing, lots of fun to be had in this and not a lot of $'s tied up😀👍
Allan Taylor exactly. I love when people get creative and break form with builds
👍
Tuesday ang coding ni kabayan :D
Nice to see another. Mine is a 47 Willys with a built LS. Twin turbo at 661whp
You should’ve done the long jeepney from Philippines 😂🤣
That is ridiculously cool!
in philippine we had many varieties and famous is tamiya and FPJ model ,,, and beautiful because plain stainless
In the 90’s we used to drag race jeep or Willy’s.A lot of Willy’s enthusiasts and fanatics in the Philippine.Its exciting and perfect for Philippine tropical weather to drive.
I think this might be the first time I noticed that you seem nervous. No seat belt, and the seat not really holding you in the Jepp.
Welcome To The Madness just a little. Plus the passenger seat bracket is broken so the seat moves. And no doors. Sketchy, nervous and fun!
This is a damn great toy! I want one!
I just saw a Philippine Car Plate number at 8:37
Dude sick build! Never seen anything like this. 👍🏼
Justin Stergar nothing like this. So unique
badass straight outta Philippines
Total badass 👊
Straight outta US
Would look sick with wheel flares. Bad ass build
With a 360 degree view like that, who needs rear view mirrors?
Blind spots begone!
😂 plenty of visibility here
Nice. I love it. Wish I could own the same.
Just curious.. Is that jeep even road legal since it has no seatbelts?
yes
It gets a pass because of the year
Yes no smog or seatbelts needed on cars pre 1976. Seatbelts would be a smart investment tho. Lol
It's Setting on a prewar willies Jeep frame so the only features needed are the standard operating Safty equipment used in it's Year of manufacturer Basicly if it wasn't born with it your not required to have it installed
Everyone is talking about how it doesn't have seatbelts but forget to mention how loose the seats are and there is no doors
go to iloilo philippines you can see them everywhere and they build them all with loud big exhaust.. like a plane.. 4 miles aways still you can hear them roaring ...
They already had this on steroids years ago on 1320 videos when Cletus started with a twin turbo LS ,old news! Look it up...!
This is a completely different build with completely different goals and ideas from the supercharged LSX Willy’s. Also was not built or owed by Cletus.
I think everyone started to wanta watch and no who Cletus was then after driving the 1320 willys jeep tht actually went thu diff motors and setups thu it's time ,regardless tit for tat it's fkn close enough and this one is fkn turd compared to the 1320 willys, thanks...keyboard genius. ..God dam...lol
Great build and the speed is magnified so close to the pavement. If Shawn needed a pencil sharpened, he just had to lower it to the ground for a second to get to the point!!!
Pencil sharpener 😂😂
He’s not the first though.
Been seeing that kind of vehicle here in the Philippines since the 90’s or late 80s. Province of cavite is most popular in buiding that kind of customs.
Gotcha. I’ve never seen anything like this in the states before
Gotcha. I’ve never seen anything like this in the states before

I Love the shirt. Ichiban Banawe QC.

Banawe ground zero of car parts hehehehehe
perfect with rollbars and bucket seats with 5point harness 😂😂😂 but no.. thats a hell of a daredevil jeep 😂
Sabi na noypi me idea at gawa nyan e.. malamang taga etivac pa yan
tamiya type owner type jeep, may ganyan tito ko, taga indang cavite
cavite or valenzuela
Cavite ang orig sa ganito
imus
malagasang
Love it. And so cool being a retro Willy’s
Galing talaga ng pinoy!!!
That’s pretty sick!
I dig how different and creative this is but........... as a professional fabricator in the past, that thing is a deathtrap. Really poor weld quality on the front suspension mounts and less than 1" of up travel on the rear suspension will send this thing into a major slid in a fraction of a second.
Please, please, please get the stuff that's no fun squared away for your safety and the safety of others on the road!
AZBADBOYz I think I’m getting old. I thought the same thing. The way this thing wobbles, is just a matter of time for it to spin of.
AZBADBOYz I’m with you. I love the creative unique approach but would love to have more security on the road
Just saying but have you seen Larry chen's video on this thing? It was up 7 months ago, should watch it
