"When men were men & women were glad for it!" I love Jay.
I couldn't have said better myself
@@thefountain6634 so does ANGIE DIKENSON..............
When Men wee Men...and so were some of the Women!
When men were men and sheep were scared
Yessiree Bob, them’s was the days. Back when you could back hand your old lady with a cast iron skillet for burning your toast when you came home drunk, and the local sheriff would yell at her for wasting his time, and then take you out for another round of brewskis! Back when you could lock your stinkin’ cryin’ kid in the attic with only a dog bowl of water and a Life magazine for a week at a time! Back when you could shoot an unarmed Black and get only a slap on the wrist and praise from your neighbors! Oh yessiree Bob them’s was the days!
That's probably the most beautiful wagoneer I've ever seen. I dig the color.
sage, just like the famous Brompton Brooks Edition, was last year's fashion colour of choice
@@rsvsbg1608 I love everything about it except the color LOL
Agree, think the minty/yellow and white go very well together and look great in this
i would have never thought at a color like that and here she is... there's always something to learn and i appreciate that's from a younger guy than me... that gives me hope that WE car and truck guys are not at the brink of extinction...
The stance and bumpers set it off in a special way!
That is the best dog. Just sits there happy.
It's hard to keep design simple and still make an impact, this one works. I'm glad they didn't go crazy with the power and the colour is spot on.
That is an incredibly well behaved dog.
I had a dog just like this one once. Great best friends no doubt.
voltagedrop LOL I didn’t even notice him!! That’s a good doggy!
It’s fake!!! Hahaha 😂
Micah Potts
Just like this one? Yeah, sounds like a great friendship.
Yep, until you try to stick your hand inside the window.
I’d love it if Jeep actually produced some heritage vehicles like this for sale.
so true.......!
They might, but it will likely take them another 30 years to bring them to market if they proceed as they did with the new Gladiator pick-up. By then, who will care?
It would probably cost in the 6 figures and involve a serious liability for the automaker due to the lack of safety features and the high earnings potential of the clients.
That's completely impossible due to safety legislation. While I love the look of old vehicles like this one, there's a reason why they aren't making them like this anymore and I'm glad. Even by the standards of the 1960s, this was a death trap, as Jay pointed out several times.
@@no1DdC You're absolutely correct. With just a loose fitting lap seat belt it's not going to hold you back very well in an accident, even a low speed accident. Then you're basically going to be eating steering wheel or have it go right into your chest, bouncing your head off of the all steel dash and then there is the possibility you could lunge so far forward you may end up having your head go right into the windshield. Basically no matter what if you're in an accident if you survive you're coming out with major injuries.
I have a 1982 jeep j20 pickup that has original paint no rust and 42k miles on it ! Always has been in the garage and has never sat outside. So this truck has averaged just a little over 1k miles a year on it ! What a fine ! But I had to pay for that fine ! I put a 3" lift on it and 20" black rhino armory wheels with 34" cooper tires on it . That really helped the look just that little update is all it needed. We take it out on the weekends and people love it ! Lots of people taking pictures of it ! It's fun to just sit and drive it and remember the 80s . I have had 4 scout's growing up my first one was just out of high school 1981. Some day these vehicles will be gone forever! I hope when I'm no longer able to drive this truck a young person will take care of this truck like I have.
"If the lung cancer doesn't get you, the bashing of the head will."
Gotta love Jay Leno
Why? He isn't funny.
@@jonhohensee3258 so funny 😂
That guys a hell of a designer and has great style for a young guy! Love the retro Jeep builds.
His guest is one kind, well-mannered, respectful, articulate, dedicated, conscientious dude. We should all be lucky to raise a son like that.
guy: "it's hard to maintain a car museum."
Jay: "yeah, tell me about it."
lol.
I love the stance and the color palette of this vehicle. With the vintage badging and trim, it’s just a masterpiece.
Grew up with those, my grandparents had many always had a travel trailer behind while grandma kept telling grandpa watch out for this and that or quit talking while I'm interrupting, really liked the US forest Service green, the designer was super down to earth guy and Jay looked like he could just keep on driving!
Great color
I think Jay was hoping he'd say lets take it off-road for a bit, lol.
its a way lighter green than forest service green
@@Tanner731 He said he liked forest green, not this was forest green 🤣
@@ianmangham4570 reading comprehension. he said "really liked the US forest Service green" referring to the jeep
See when that last guy tried to sell the fisker car Jay lit him up like the con man he is. This guy is authentic and has a great, original concept and you can tell jay loves it ( like we all do). I love real car guys. This thing is awesome. I like the 5.7 choice too, although i hate dodge i love this thing.
Lol.... as creepy as the last guy was, this guy with his bolted down luggage and stuffed dog, peg my creep meter.
In 1965 Jeep didn't belong to Dodge/Mopar.
This guy is way more handsome too, reminds me of my old lifeguard.
@@grey3977 Did you notice the mouthpiece on the pipe in the ashtray is 90 degrees off? lol
@@jdjonesdr I did. Reminded me of Jeremy Clarkson smoking apipe with the tobacco side in his mouth.
I love it... 17:00 minutes into the video I noticed a CJ5-ish Jeep struggling to catch up to your Wagoneer. Then, at 17:15 or so, he made it. This Jeep guy knew what a stylin' Jeep you were driving.
Beautiful!
I would take this Jeep in a heartbeat!
CHEVY is the HEARTBEAT of AMERICA
@@gertraba4484 old Chevys are welcome too! 😉👍
@@gertraba4484 brand loyalty is a terrible disease but my chevy keeps my heartbeat fresh with all the mild heart attacks when it breaks down.
VBA - No you wouldn't.
I will always prefer functionality over looks in a Jeep. If this was for sale I would buy this in a heartbeat over the current model.
Saverio Salemme functionality over looks? I think this looks far better than any new one lol
DIAMLER I agree
It was rare to find a '60s Wagoneer without rubber mats. My sheriff's department had a bunch of these and all had rubber mats. The floors would be really slippery after a rain or in the mud without rubber mats, and it was no harder to hose one out with rubber mats than with a bare floor. It was also only the very early '65 models that only had a Six. The AMC 327 V8 was available by mid-March of 65, and no serious off-roaders or law enforcement users ordered the Six once the 327 was made available. There was a/c available since 1964, but it caused the Jeep Tornado Six to ping something awful. Once that was replaced with higher compression AMC 232 Six and 327 V-8, the pinging problem was solved. As much as I enjoyed driving them, their reliability wasn't very good, and they started rusting almost as soon as they left the dealer's lot.
Amazing attention to detail. An absolute masterpiece. I just wish all SUVs looked like this!🇺🇸
Don't call this an SUV please
@@clarifaco lol why not. Jeep literally coined "SUV" to describe this vehicle
For those of you who weren't around when these were, to have 33" tires is huge. They had about 6 inches of ground clearance and spring under suspension. That thing has a completely different personality.
I had a 68 and it looked like a station wagon until I did a 2 and a half inch lift and 32s. I wish I still had it
My 79 can fit 31’s with slight rubbing when back tires tuck. It’s more than 6” clearance but not a lot more. Lol
That is a lovely vehicle. One of the best modded classics I have seen.
A beautiful classic design. Still looks great. And the subtle changes are well done.
My dad had a 1978 grand wagoneer and that thing was awesome.. Quadra trac 4x4 was fantastic and could go just about anywhere you pointed it. It hauled travel trailer, wood trailer, deer on the roof, thru mud, Ice ect ect. Never got stuck one time!!
This just makes me miss sensibly sized grills and headlights that don't have 5 or more clusters of squinty lights that make it look like a Transformer or something.
I LOVE Transformers!
I was thinking that headlight designs have jumped the shark. In the old dsys they were round, and you designed around it.
Modern design is not nearly as sexy as the automotive tech press would make it seem. Most cars are pretty much cookie cutter or "why the heck did they make that look like that?" I can barely think of any modern cars that have the lasting impact on me like Dodge Viper R/T's, 60's Corvette Stringrays, 80's Camaro IROC-Z, 90's 2nd gen Dodge Rams, and so on.
I’d buy that in a heartbeat! Excellent work, Mr. Piscitelli!
14:24 - I'm glad he mentioned the mixing of parts from their favorite years. I noticed immediately that that grille is from '68/'69, because that's my favorite grille from the SJs. (I love the offset badge. Same with the '69 Mustang.) I don't have any SJs anymore, but I still have a '68/'69 grille hanging in my garage.
Dan Black That grille began life on the Wagoneer in 1965.
@@Al-thecarhistorian - '63 - '65 Wagoneers had the original "rhino chaser" grille, which is what this vehicle was from the factory. There are even photos of it before restoration/modification here: jalopnik.com/the-jeep-wagoneer-roadtrip-is-what-happens-when-you-tak-1823923862
The "razor" grille started on the '66 Wagoneer, but the offset badge wasn't added until '68 (and only lasted two model years, '68 and '69). And that's what they used on this -- the razor grille with the offset badge. (Then in '70, they switched to the "cheese grater" grille.)
Technically, I suppose you could take a '66 or '67 grille and add the offset badge from a '68/'69, since it was removable, but the factory razor grille with the offset badge was only on '68 and '69 Wagoneers.
@@Dan-Black "Off-set badge" you mean the emblem on the grille?
@@Dan-Black '65-1/2 new grille.
@@kenns9 - Yes, I was talking about grilles. It's a Jeep emblem, and it's not centered (only available '68 and '69).
When you have the resources these are amazing....drove one plowing snow in the 80’s....nicely restored they’re beautiful.... thank you for sharing
You can still pick up late 70 early 80 pretty cheap. Most have v8's and D44 axles.
Not only ressources, need idea too, I see to many jeep, with lift 2,3,4" and big wheels with horror design at the end
I still have my 1987 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. I have about 302,000 miles and it is still in good shape. I love that Jeep.
"Hit your head on that dash they hose it down and sell it to somebody else" Classic Leno!
Big whoop.
love this jeep. makes me miss my 1974 wagoneer. This one is MINT!!
Sure thing Freiburger. ;-)
Nah. It looks close, but it's not. They made a whole lot of changes to this old gal.
Would love to have that jeep sitting in my driveway. Outstanding job.
this looks like a life size version of a hot wheels, with the dog and skis on the rack, totally cool!!!!
Back to form Jay, that last guy with the million dollar Fisker was the pits!🤘
Yup. One of the worst shows he ever made. That guy was a real sketchy sort.
That's one awesome jeep Jay I wish they would bring that jeep back
Did you see the Wagoneer Concept with Jay and a Chrysler executive? It's baby blue with a white roof and '70's style slots.
I found the Jeep. It's the Chief concept. Jay isn't in this video, but it's the same car. This is from TFL.
ruclips.net/video/He0EZWDkrPg/видео.html
@@mr.intensity2685 oh look. No I didn't see that one I'll check it out thanks for letting me know I wish they bring those jeeps back they were great jeeps
My parents had a light blue one in 65 they purchased as a roll-over and fixed up perfectly. As a 13 year-old boy I never appreciated that it was a 'new' vehicle. It impressed us because it didn't behave like a station-wagon, but exactly like a jeep. . . which of course it was. Thanks Jay.
That might be the coolest Jeep I have ever seen.
...and Jay Leno is a National Treasure.
Ohhh. This I love. Basic, no bull... And beautiful by its seemingly simplicity.
No bull? What about the fake luggage? The useless skis and fishing poles. A pipe glued to the ash tray. It’s got a phony dog in the back seat for crying out load. Mechanically it’s pretty nice. I do like the colors, and the overall look. But there most certainly is a lot of fake here.
drameday yes... in fact you’re not quite wrong.
Had two of these in that body style a '79 and an '81. Fond memories ! 😁
Loved this episode since it brought back memories of my childhood trips to my Dad's hunting camp in his friend's Wagoneer. And be sure to bring back Chris! He's such a laid-back guy but full of passion and knowledge.
One of my favourite vehicle designs of all time. Just amazing proportions on those bigger tyres.
Every gas station on the east coast had one of these parked in the corner always with a plow attached to it .....either these or a CJ ....which also had metal dash boards .
That high pitch whine from the fuel pump would drive me insane, it's already driving me nutz just the length of this video.
Thank you, Jay, for highlighting this vehicle! The metal dashboard reminded me of my 1965 Plymouth Signet sport model vehicles very luxurious with red leather(?) seats, AC, and all of the 1965 options, but STILL had that metal dash! This episode was so much fun to watch! I believe it was this Jeep model I saw in a parking lot in Cairo, Georgia in 1967; giving me my first realization of what a Jeep was! I was IN LOVE!! I was school-clothes shopping with my grandmother. I was 15 and already a car-minded girl. My grandmother definitely did not understand, but she let me lag behind and do the 360° gawk-walk and I whispered to my self “I want one!”! 🤣 I have loved Jeeps ever since. The only Jeep I ever owned was my beloved 2001 Grand Cherokee Limited with the V-8! It was a ROCKET! I could, and did, pass anything and everything I cared to… all I had to do was tap the accelerator! Such fun in a modern-day, made for comfort, vehicle. Bought right off the delivery trailer, I had Jeepie, as I affectionally called her, for 17 years, gave her to my son-in-law, but sadly she threw a rod and sits in the driveway waiting for a new life. For 17 years old, I kept her pretty well and no one believed she wasn’t new; even in the last years. Though I did not replace my beloved Jeep with another one, I would definitely buy another one… Hellcat, this time!!! Thanks again, Jay!! God bless!!
mine was a mini tonka jeep wagoneer , rode new 1965 wagoneer and was hooked and I said il have one some day and did a 1988 and than 1995 grand Cherokee inline 6 best car I ever owned 215k miles
I miss mine. I owned a 1978 2-door Jeep Cherokee almost the same body style on this 65'. All metal dash, electric back window, tail gate was heavy as hell. My bumpers were white but I blacked them out to match the black rims and the metal room was black. Body side were beige. Motor was a 289 straight 6 with a stick 3 speed on the floor. Front hubs were manual locking hubs. The body started to rust off the frame....good old New England weather rusting everything out. But the motor was great, just no torque when it came to driving on the sand in RI beaches. But what awesome memories this video brings back. A lot of great memories. Thank you Chris for bringing this to Jay's garage!!!!!
Misspelling, suppose to read "metal roof was black".
This guy needs to come back with more cars! He is really interesting and have a lot of knowledge. 😁
This and the International Scout are probably my favorite Freedom wagons........... and then throw in the AMC Eagle just for fun
Yes, can't forget the AMC Eagle. A true battlewagon. 🤘
I had one of the IH Scouts. Last of the round headlight ones.
AMC Eagle! God I hate that car! When I was a kid my neighbor had an Eagle and I thought that car was just god awfully ugly af! And still think it is! Plus they smoked like 322 packs of cigs a day in the house and car so that smell reminds me of that car! Terrible memories! Make it stop!!
I don't know why they dropped the Eagle. Everybody wanted one but they were really hard to find, even in the day. I worked on a few of them and was impressed. And the looked great too.
@@sforza209 Take a pill dude
Had a smile ear to ear watching this. Always loved Wagoneer's.
Anyone notice the older Jeep in the background beginning at 17:00 stalking the Wagoneer? That's just how cool this build is.
It's awesome. Nicely done. Generating a bit of excitement for the upcoming Wagoneer, perhaps?
Very cool body and drive train mods..!! I remember so many of these with snow plows on the front
Jay Lenos garage is way cool and thought provoking. I enjoy learning about things and retromod vehicles. The test drives are fascinating as well.
Jay is so good at discovering and showing cool stuff of all vintages and makes. Thx Jay
very interesting vehicle, and my favorite part has to be the quarter rear panel fender and taillights. thanks so much for showcasing this unique artisticly resorted Jeep .
Keep artists away from Jeeps. Jeeps have *purpose*
@@bimmjim well this is not a stock jeep. The body has been chopped and fender wells added. But Someone created that original design of the jeep tho and it is def art. Art can have a purpose too :)
@@carmeloparasiliti9743 And the obvious purpose of a Jeep is ...
The Wagoneer has a history of the axles coming out of the rears! Pretty Scary! Happened to me! Thanks and Peace!
Straight up, this is now officially my NEW DREAM RIG!!
I love how the comedian in Jay comes out to mess with builders when they overlook something. Like the back window not locking 😁
If anyone is curious at 4:53 , 1974 was the first year for front disc brakes.
*At **11:22** you can see that Jay Leno really needs to learn how to pet a dog.* 🤣💙
Pulled a Bloomberg lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
that is how the wealthy greet dogs.....with a firm snout shake.
I have a dog that actually likes that! Lol hes a crazy boy
My dog loves when I take him by the snout. He knows that play time has arrived. One or two snout grabs and he goes into insane play mode. People say that you should not rough play with your dog because it makes them aggressive....but that has never been my experience. I rough play with my dogs all the time....and have for 5 decades....and never had an aggressive dog problem.
One of my favorite cars. You did an excellent job on it. Very tasteful and practical. Love it.
Pleas never die Jay... you are a one of a kind mechanical/car guy.
I LIKE that Wagoneer! Sweet!
Thanks Jay. Big improvement over that joke car on here last week. It is really time for a garage and project update video.
qdood what was on last week?
@@connorsmith6617 $1.3 million Drako GTE
qdood that drako wasnt that bad
This and the Jeepster have always been what I want when I think of buying a real Jeep wagon.The longer wheel base just makes the ride so much better.The pogo stick ride in an older Jeep just gets to you if you're doing a journey.This does look stock except the engine cover.Well done team!(I had to come back and watch this again after seeing all the 'Icon' builds that not many can afford and really don't get used as the vehicle was designed for)
Chris is great. He's smart guy, fun to listen to the story. It's great that the team is working on these heritage resto-mods!
I remember the old man burying ours to the frame!
An he knew to attack the mud road in two wheel drive, but she stopped.
Ours was a 68, now when you engage four wheel drive you pulled on a big chrome dog leg lever.
Procedure: get out an lock the manual hubs, grab dog leg, plant foot on firewall, pull hard! Listening to the non synchronized gears GRIND into place (low range).
Back when, as Jay said Men were men!
Long story short, front wheels went down, not forwards.. Get out the Come Along, and or block an tackle...out she came.
Insert colorful language here an there!
Damn sweet. Nicest one I've seen.
Man, I had Jeep fever before this video. Now I really have it. Thanks Jay.
Finally, a vehicle that folks can work on, again!!!!! I love it!!!
Absolutely beautiful job they did on this Jeep!!! Just looks right front to back!!!!!👍🏿
Who else here still watches Jay Leno Headlines from the early 2000's?
Thanks to both of you. Jay you’re doing historical preservation of the automotive industry on your own dime. Thank you very much. And you got lots of dimes. You talk to everyone like they’re your equal.
Great episode. Love these old trucks fixed up. Very well done.
Always will remember my parents 77 Cherokee chief. Wish I had one now.
Who could ever replace jay leno? Car world will have a huge hole once when this icon can no longer do this.
This was pretty cool. Two car guys just shooting the breeze.
Truly, one of the best body designs to stand the test of time and should never have been abandoned. I have never understood why classic body lines are dropped in favor of someone's idea of modernizing. If Levi Jeans dropped their 505 and 501 style of pants, they would have been burned at the stake.
Hopefully, new designers will come into the industry and realize there is a fine line to never be crossed when designing vehicles for the modern age. Its just that simple. Return to the mindset of customer care by removing alot of the computer control and allow the consumer to maintain their pride of buying decision-
Thank You Jay for your channel. Indeed, an honest homage to the automotive industry, and prayerfully a return to classic designs.
Man... Just LOVE that 65' Wagon... My heart aches for it... Beautiful.
4:53 - My '74 had factory front disc brakes. I believe that was the first year for that. They had rear drums clear through the end ('91).
Rear drums weren't unusual for off-roaders until at least the end of the 1990s. I remember lots of them having these brakes, even much newer models. Braking performance was of course horrible, but it was cheaper and they worked better in the dirt.
Correct. My 73 has front drums.
I had a ‘66 with an AMC 327, and it had power steering. It was a tank. I miss it.
I had a 1953 Willies Overland Wagon, the thing was like a mini tank never ever got stuck!
96 Cherokee with AMC straight six.
Too bad Chrysler absolutely destroyed this brand... AMC should have held out. Little did they know they would have been just fine
When Jay says, keep “us” in the loop for the next project... my friend, welcome to the club.
Best episode ever! What a great Jeep!
Compared to the last episode with the Drako, it's really nice to listen to two car guys shoot the bull. Great episode, Jay!
Sure would like to see cars like this on the lift. Please!!😄
After last week 😝 this is real nice.
I’m not a Jeep guy but, this looks sounds amazing. Love everything about it and it has a true classic vibe. Nostalgia
Thanks Jay you made my day need more videos like these
I wish they would bring back the Wagoner. I loved them. They were great SUVs. I would buy one in a heartbeat.
Just sit tight Jeep is bringing it back soon.
8 MPG
I could live with that I drive an average of 2700 miles a year. I hope that they do come back
I would love to see Jeep bring this back to compete against the Suburban and Excursion. My first vehicle at 16 in 86' was a 78' Wagoneer, that thing was a blast. I would also probably love to buy one in a heartbeat... but can you imagine what the number would be on it?!
Buy one now while you still can for reasonable prices. I got mine for cheap a few years ago! Prices are creeping up!
jeep should bring back the wagoneer as a luxury off roader like the Land Cruiser
Jeep is working on a all new Wagoneer and also Grand Wagoneer. Rumor has it 2022 Model year
Would be a good move considering Toyota are no longer making the land cruiser .
@Damien Tong Well the smaller SUV types are Fiats. But they are making some neat looking traditional, shall we call them..... .Jeeps. It is the "mechanicals" that concern me.
No no no way too many land cruisers for soccer moms being made. Buy a Grand Cherokee pretty much what it is..
@ThatBadGuy ruclips.net/video/TJ7s_Qpi4Qc/видео.html
You'll understand better when you watch this video.
This Jeep brings back memories of going off road camping and hunting growing up in CO riding in dad's 56 International truck. Blazers, Broncos, Jeeps with the manual features got beat on but also got there getting the job done back in the day.
Would buy one of these in a heartbeat!! Freaking love it.
The Wa goner received disc brakes in the mid 70’s, a year or two before the CJ 7 came out in 1976.
I liked the remark about no floormats- "Makes it easier to hose it out..."
We had one of these suckers in my family back home in Africa.
It was emerald green. The grill was the smaller one in the center.
I have fond memories riding with my family in the bushes. It was a rainy night once and I was just gazing outside as we tossed and fumbled along listening to the conversations.
I just tuned everyone out and dawned in my own world...
Sweet rig - I love the old school look. Well done - I want one!
Looks so stunning, thanks for the upload! A picture next to picture comparison would be very kind when they talk about certain stuff because i have no real clue about the shaping of an original Wagoneer. Cheers.
P.S.: The plastic Enginecover is a pitty tho...all that work...should have looked more vintage imo.
Totally agree with your P.S.! Looks so out of place. Why doesn't MOPAR make a modern hemi engine without all that cheap-looking plastic crap clipped onto it?
@@williambremner9022 They put those plastic covers on because a modern fuel injected Hemi much like the LS engines don't look as nice as old Carburated V-8's. Very industrial, not pretty.
I was also surprised that no one thought to bring a picture of a stock body
@@jorgejefferson8251 I don´t really mind the fact that it´s covered, but i expected at least something custom, out of aluminum or so.
@@antraxxslingshots I see what you are talking about, but if they were that concerned about the look they would have just shoved a Hellcat engine inside. That big silver blower would have gussied things up.
I want Jay to do a Unimog!
Search: 'Mike Day's Mercedes Unimog'
Great build ..... even the color brings back memories!!
Just got to love those old Jeep wagoneers. I really like everything they did with the suspension and the powertrain. Will that Jeep be in Moab? Because if so I might just see you in April.
Even got the closed face zebco on the roof rack..
Zebco re issued that reel in stainless steel. I bought one for everyone in the family.
Wonderful car. They were introduced in 1964 and they gave a couple dozen to the World's Fair in NYC as courtesy cars. A nearby wealthy farmer bought one when the fair closed and still has it with under 10,000 miles and the painted world's fair symbol and "courtesy car" on both front doors. Very austere and the interior looks much like the one in the video
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!
Build it and we will buy it !!!
I instantly remembered how heavy the tailgate was on mine.
Funny the stuff you remember, huh?
@@ElvisRocking1 our delivery truck was a JEEP PANEL c1965, rand like snot but noisey as heck with teh OHC six
the tail gate used two torsion springs on every model made. i have owned a lot of them wish they still made them. not happy with any of the crap work this guy did, but he tried . the four link just made a warbler out of it. and that motor is plagued with problems junk jut say no to the new hemi they toss rockers like there candy . they just cant make an over head cam engine . and there transmission with the rear sprage that rips throw the back of the case . and a hemi that has so little tork they need an 8 speed tran lol junk
