Great Cars: JEEP

- The Jeep was drafted in World War II and soon became the American soldier's best friend. The unusual looking vehicle was used as a combat car, postal carrier, snowplow and ambulance. It could forge a stream, dig trenches, churn the water in a washtub and serve as a wedding altar. After the war, it was thought this amazing vehicle would fade away like an old soldier. But today Jeep-like SUV’s are among the world's top sellers and Jeeps refuse to fade away.
EP 112 - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Great Cars was one of my favorite TV shows in 2004, 2005 when it used to be telecasted on Discovery Channel at 6 PM. I used to watch it immediately after reaching home from tuition classes. I loved it
Right when the narrator says "a distinctly American vehicle" they were showing a Toyota land cruiser.. oh gees
We all know the best 4x4 name
Yep I caught that too having owned many offroad vehical's including CJ2, 5, 7s, Samurais, FJ40s, M37, and now currently a hardtop Dodge raider that I got for free.
Well the land cruiser, land rover and all the rest all got their inspiration from the Jeep
@@deepbludude4697 which is your favorite. I currently own a Montero 87" too.
@@exploringwithjonathan that free raider is currently my favorite! but FJ 60 was most functional durable rig I ever owned 2 x from Fla to AK in it, super reliable comfortable to drive long distance, easy to sleep in it, carry tons of kit. I just today got a 1971 W200 Dodge 4x4 running working the bugs out of it, 300 dollar scrap save.
The original Jeepster is a classic. Jeep should make an updated version today. Imagine the possibilities.
The 4 cylinder Kaiser engine is still used in Miller portable welders.
I love my jeep!!
After watching this I got Tears in my eyes. 😢
0:06 “A distinctly American vehicle” as they show a Toyota Land Cruiser haha
I love my Jeep.
I'm surprised no mention of the postal service use
Those were all 2 wheel drive. Very un-jeep.
@@jaesbow I wheel with a guy who has one of the 70s, DJ postal jeeps. That thing wheels with the best of them.
I love my 1998 JEEP XJ 4.0 Classic 209,000 miles and engine has never been apart.
Love that jeepster, wagoner,
I just picked up, ok actually my Dad gave it to me, a 1944 Ford GPW....it's got a Ford 289 K-Code out of a '66 Mustang (rebuilt and bored .030), a Carter 4bbl on an Offenhauser intake, Hedman headers, a 4spd w/a Warn Overdrive, twin-stick transfer case, Dana 44 out back and a Dana 27A up front (think I'm gonna change that to a 35 though) both posi runnin 5.38 gears, 11" drum brakes, 2.5" Rancho "Soft Ride" suspension lift, full cage roll bar, only things missing are a winch and power steering...not a spot of rust, needs a paint job and an original back seat, and a new soft top....my Dad's just about to turn 70, and the clutch is a little much for his arthritic knee to handle, so now it's in my garage :-)
Your one lucky guy sounds like one sweet ride
Summing it up: nothing left from your dad's 1944 jeep. Too sad for me!
I love my 95' Wrangler....
We're a 4 YJ family.
I can dig it!
Ours has 326,000 miles.. Never been apart. Used every day in Eastern Pennsylvania. No rock climbing but no joke when deep snow and ice stops almost everything else. Hard top and factory ac and automatic keep it pleasant in the heat of the summer. It has been wonderful.
I love my jeep
So much for History-... Not to mention the -hard as hell to find- Viasa Jeeps....
The coolest video of all time!!!
I love my new 2018 JL, 2 door....so much fun
And they keep getting better
I love my jeep!
Lol, that's a good one.
@@bliesberg YEP I HAD 2 AMC CJ7S . AFTER THAT DRIVE SHAFTS LOOKED LIKE BROOM STICKS ..
Ill get my personalized Jeep in the Philippines and have it installed with a reliable engine of my choice such as a Toyota and others.."
I currently own a 87 Cherokee XJ with over 400 k original miles that still runs great. Has never let me down since new. A CJ - 5 and CJ-7 but have owned willys wagons pickups , full size Cherokee , Cherokee XJ etc. But once Chrysler got ahold of Jeep the reliability and quality definitely have suffered big time. The Grand Cherokee , liberty and most others in the line up have horrible reputations
Man that wagoneer really made me miss full frontal bench seats
My 2001 Cherokee (in duct tape gray) sure is handy when there is bad weather here in Ohio. I hope to keep it going for at least another 20 years.
My friend when I was growing up had a willys jeep and that thing would climb a tree. Today I'm a proud jeep owner with my 2011 hemi grand
I got my 52 cj3a in 70..i was 12..rebuilt from ground up..paid 750$ for it ..man I wish I still had her went everywhere in that thing ..ran it on everclear to keracine...currently looking for her to buy back
Great video.thank you.
Awesome Jeeps! Real work horses you want!
They didn't mention the birth of the AMC 4.0L Legendary Straight 6.
I think the legendary AMC inline six was 4.2 liters. The 4.0 liter was when Jeep was under Chrysler. (Equally legendary, just not AMC 😊)
Yes AMC did make the 4.0L Straight 6 in 1986 for the 1987 model year to replace the crappy Chevrolet 2.8L V-6.
Your incorrect . The 4.0 was in fact designed by AMC . It is actually just a refinement of the 258 / 4.2 engine . Better ports , combustion chamber and induction. And as for the "crappy" 2.8 liter GM produced V6 ...It wasnt a bad engine in reality . It lacked power but I have a 86 Cherokee
" Cherokee Chief " 2.8 / 5 speed manual that I bought brand new in 86 that has 314,567 original miles on it. It just passed emissions test again here in California. Its definitely no power house but its never had a single mechanical issue and has only had regular basic maintenance since day 1. Im not a GM fan but cant deny the truth . The 2.8 is a gutless engine but the one I have has been incredibly reliable .
@@GorillaCookies my '59 Rambler wagon had a 199ci six which was the start of ALL the ohv sixes at AMC..
@@brucefisher4025 The Rambler six had its roots in the nash ambassador six of the late 40's
Tive um JEEP 1951, vendi em 1980, agora, aos 74 anos, estou determinado a comprar um ano 1942, para diversão.
Wow! One of th best videos I've seen yet
Wow
Big like
0:06 toyota, not jeep.
but it was heavily inspired by the jeep.
Dude it's INSPIRED ok nobody cares if it's a Toyota BUT the body and half of the engine is still made by the jeep company
As the narrative says " a distinctly American vehicle" lol....we see a completely made in Japan vehicle driving through the water! Whoops
J Clar Except for the late 50’s Chevy stovebolt 6cyl that Toyota bought the tooling from GM.
@@supersami7748 Yup! Had a 75 FJ-40 Best off road - worst highway - 11 mpg - 12 gallon tank
JEEP ! One of two working horses of the second world war, the other one is C~47
One of the four. Jeep, C-47, Dodge Power Wagon and the deuce and a half.
Don't forget the Deuce and a half!
And don't forget the liberty ship
Add a small, angled piece of armored steel, just enough to deflect a rifle bullet & that Belly Flopper could have been useful as a kind of rapidly moving machine gun nest.
I regret not buying one from Army Surplus but back then you wouldn't be seen in one .
Its" a nice all around compact car... i like the Jeep..."
I love my 94 Grand Cherokee
I liked the Jeep on the, "Tremors" Movie with Kevin Bacon. I think it was a CJ-7
lol he says hardly anyone uses it off road!!! lol they just don't know!!
What do you expect from a city dweller/suburbanite..?? Many jeeps around here only see pavement when they need gas...😏
One word that described Jeep best - SEXY ! ❤️
Jeep had a problem they made them so well built people wpuldnt buy knew ones
I remember in Canada you could get military surplus Willy's for between 50 and 100 Canadian Pesos in the early '80's . I wish I had taken advantage of that .
How much is a Canadian Peso worth in the early 80's? A joke!
@@michelbeauloye4269 - About $1.50... It's actually a 'Loonie'...
How many canadian pesos does it take to buy a football bat..??
owned a 95yj and now own a 98tj.
I wouldn't go around telling people you bought a TJ. YJ, while mostly manufactured by Chrysler, was the last AMC design, and therefore...the last Jeep. The TJ is a lifted Sebring.
CAN'T GIT ENUFF OF DA JEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!;)
So, if I understand this correctly, the jeep dosn't need a road to drive on?
The only “Jeep” is a wrangler .. period
Thank you for pronouncing Willys correctly.
Love my 2016 jeep Cherokee 4x4 .always dependable in any type of emergency.
what is that opening music?
Look at the smoke coming out of the exhaust in the Wagoneer at 15:40. Time for a rebuild guys.
PUT A CRUISER MOTOR IN IT THEY NEVER WHERE OUT
Fogging for mosquitos...
@@BuzzLOLOL HA ! Fogging with Malathion . I should have known . They still carry on these sprays in some small towns in Saskatchewan .
Mahindra thar and roxor is good
Built under license from jeep...😏
At 14:42. Toyota fj40 not jeep lol
I love the old Willys Jeep. But the WJ Jeep is not of my favorite one. My Mawmaw has one that is a 2004 with the 4.0. It has barely 80,000 miles and my 74 year old Mawmaw has owned it since 2006. The thing is gutless! Now we have a problem with the T case kicking into Part Time or High 4wd at random. Sometimes you can park it and it was running fine. Never use the 4wd that day. Go to take off the next day and it's stuck in 4wd and got what sounds like a M16 in the T case! MPG is 11 on the highway too! I don't know if it was just a bad one with a lot of weakness from the factory. Maybe built on a Monday or Friday?! But I know it sure has not impressed me at all!
@Yard Sale Dale so blow it up? 😂
i can only say get a landcruiser?
The wj is the worst jeep.... that's when Mercedes merged with Chrysler. Terrible electronic malfunctions, very service dependent drive train.
They weren't very good. The XJ was superior in just about every way.
Prolly needs a tune up for more power... or a build up, lots of those on youtube... 12 MPG is about max new for those square windshield brick-shaped windpushers...
How would the originators of the Jeep like the current Jeep Wagoneer /Grand Wagoneer and the 4-door Wrangler. I love them and wouldn't mind owning one.
A uniquely American vehicle. As a Toyota FJ40 plows through the water. Hilarious and common mistake. What's dragging underneath the Jeep at 15:45? Exhaust pipe?
Under car spare tire carrier with out the tire. You can see it before it fell ten seconds earlier in the rear end shot. (A sexy rear end too)
"No one uses their jeep off road" buddy, come to moab I'll scare the living shit out of you
Notice the occasional FJ-40 hahah not even close to a Jeep.
wonder how many were crippled when thrown out or the jeep turned over
Quite a few. They were dangerous.
Yup got a buddy in a wheel chair from a dui driver hitting the CJ7 he was passenger in.
Pedaling a Jeeps like riding a motorcycle. If your affraid to get hurt dont get on either one.
You're missing the point...
I think the Bantam version looked the coolest!
about 15:45 the wagoneer has something dragging in the snow. Spare tire holder?
Yep
Better turn around and pick up that spare tire -- just might need it.
Mahindra Jeep is a legend.
Lol Hoots Purr ( Chutzpah ) .....
That $700. Jeep costs $40,000. Today.
Adjust that 700 for inflation and see what you get.
Wranglers like $20K to $80K depending on options... gotta have something for people with too much money to buy...
Very good rundown...!! 👍✅
I like the Toyota FJ they snuck in there at 14:42
too bad the FJ needs premium gas which is way more expensive where I live
The birth of Dodge's Power Wagons
jeep is a feeling ! beyond words.
No mention of the Gladiator?
Or the J2000
This ended 20 years before the Gladiator... Comanche was earlier Jeep pickup...
Not being sarcastic . Seriously , I just want to know if or how much Jeep underwrote (paid for) this video ?
Chrysler just sent it into history!
They suck!
I'll keep my 7 forever😊
Its ridiculous how many inaccurate claims and statements are made in this video.
Hello friend . I am a bit of sceptic myself, but not very knowledgeable about motor vehicles in general , let alone jeeps . Not being sarcastic , just seeking facts when possible . I'd be grateful if you could educate me about some of the of the Jeep and/or non-Jeep inaccuracies in this video . thank you, please reply !

0.06 THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT JEEPS NOT ANY OTHER CAR THANK YOU
Much rather have a Jeep ,love ford broncos and trucks own a f150 and a explorer ,also love Toyota trucks and fj’s , Chevey trucks and blazers and most other off road vehicles but a Jeep even today is easy to work on even if your on the trail

The original Flat Fender Jeep is the bench mark for all those rigs. They all sought to build a better "Jeep"...
yep, been there done that
Belly-flopper in 1947? Post-war? Maybe 1937.
The Jeep didn't exist until 1941.
@@oliveranthony9454 - At 3:40 it should be 1937 pre-Jeep... not '47...
15:42 needs new rings...
@Kay Goatee Spare tire carrier strap came loose I think.
Just showing it can be adapted to fog for mosquitos...
I predict a 4 door pickup in the future.
.... The JT Gladiator?
Bout a year late, friend.
I predict a recall for bad welds on the Wrangler

Why on the world is there a Toyota fj40 in the time stamp 0:06
The American Icon that has been licensed out to foreign countries since the 40s and is owned by Fiat.
Actually your more incorrect than correct. FCA US LLC is the parent company of Both Fiat & Chrysler Corp which includes the Jeep Division . Jeeps are still produced in the Toledo Ohio plant where they have been built for decades. FCA is a American / Italian Corp which is actually owned by stock holders who happen to be mostly American. You can claim Fiat owns Jeep and that Fiat builds them but the facts are that Jeep is still made in America in the same place they have been for decades. And Jeep , Chrysler and Fiat are all 3 actually owned by people like myself who have invested money by buying shares . Paper and the media may say FCA US LLC owns and manufactures Jeep but I like countless others have paper that says I am a owner of FCA US LLC. And I am as American as one can be !
Jeep Wrangler made in Toledo, Ohio, USA from 1941 - 2020...
@@BuzzLOLOL ...actually the YJ was built in Canada from 1987 to 1991 due to the XJ requiring so much factory floor space in Toledo...i worked on the final assembly line when the last CJ7 rolled off...sad day
So, the producer of this would like you to believe that the HMMWV is "a direct descendant of the jeep," Well, sorry. No it's not. The HMMWV is a direct descendant of the M151 series of 4x4, 1/4 ton trucks, which were designed by Ford in the early 1950s beginning with M151, followed by M151A1 and M151A2. Oddly, several of these M151s were shown earlier in the video without comment about what they were.
Well maybe a spiritual successor.
HMMWV is more a new design by GM...
The 4 door Wranglers do resemble the HMMWV though...
14:42 Toyota Land Cruiser.
So why you showing a Toyota FJs..?? Not paying attention..??
1986 cj was the last real jeep
🤔
85, not 87!
LETS TALK ABOUT JEEPS
0:06 toyota
Ok sure. (Yes I know the story behind this Toyota)
what about mahindra
Another subject we should have covered.
jomon augustin ....what about em? They're made in India, and they're junk....
They build Roxors under license from Jeep...😏
@@branon6565 Pointing out towards India's manufacturing industry? If Mahindras are junk then what do YOU think you are junky?
Belly flopper hit the ground in 1947? Try 1937
want a new original, no way it could be street legal one of those? Mahindra and take care of that for you now...but like I said no way it could be street legal these days.
First Jeeps are grandfathered in... still street legal in USA... for 80 years...
@@BuzzLOLOL in SOME states maybe...they're NOT street legal in West Virginia (they're considered a side-by-side 4×4 and have the same restrictions..)
Plus, the US DOT, NHTSA, and EPA only allows them for off-road use..😏
J.E.E.P. just empty every pocket
Just Entertain Every Person
Just everyone else's parts
you can't expect to go offroading (true offroading) and not damage something. That's why we fit air compressors in the engine compartment and welders in the back
1947? 3:40
I noticed that too - I think they actually meant 1937.
I think that’s right. The first Willys mb was put in production of August 1st 1941
OOPS! That's and FJ at 14.41.
Are they really made in Japan?😖😖😖
Jeep Wrangler (military style) still made in Toledo, Ohio, USA since 1941... was made alongside the Cherokee/Liberty/Cherokee SUV, but that production just moved to Detroit area (where big Grand Cherokee SUV always made) to make room for new Gladiator pickup production... (Comanche was previous Jeep pickup)
Poor gas mileage. On a SUV (Grand Cherokee). Well, who would have thought....
Too bad an Indian company is building better Jeeps than Jeep!
Toyota FJ at 14:45
So basically the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor because the Jeep was invented. Makes sense
Japan didn't want to go to war until 1949 AFTER USA left Asia... leaving Philippines independent/easily conquerable... Hitler pushed them into too early war...
So sad fiat has them now, they totally screwed them up. I drive my 82 CJ-7 daily, over one million miles on it, except the engine, third one in it now. Went a little crazy building it!
Now the jeep compass is one of the worst vehicles of all. Thanks fiat
At 40.42 is a toyota bj I think
indeed!!!
yes totally agree toyota thumbs up
BJ is always good
Every company that owned the Jeep ends up in financial trouble.
wyomarine What’d you expect the Jeep to handle like on road? Sure Toyota’s drive more comfortable on road and are good off road. But they are definitely not as capable off road as a Jeep is. Hence why jeeps compromise on road comfort for off-road performance. I’ve driven a Land Cruiser LR3, Toyota 4Runner, and a Jeep wranglers. They all have their pros and cons. But if I’m gonna do the rubicon trail with a stock vehicle, guess which one I’m gonna take, the Jeep.
wyomarine maybe go follow “TheRoadChoseMe” he took a stock TJ across the entire continent of South America with no issues. Then he took a JKU across the entire continent of Africa without issue and he even rolled it, but it worked fine on sketchy gas, land without roads. And idk what the f#%* you mean they aren’t in Australia lmfao there are full on Jeep rallies there with a massive following. Two woman took on an overland navigating race in a Jeep rubicon and won, beating out Raptors, land cruisers, and land rovers. If you are so biased, then open your eyes and see that companies that had a rough past can always innovate and create better products. It’s called learning from your mistakes.
I don't think Jeep is why they end up in financial trouble. Historically the companies were already hedging off financial trouble & they buy the Jeep name in hopes it will turn their failing company around. Kaiser did it buying Willy's. The Kaiser/Nash auto line was failing & not selling by 60s. But Jeep survived beyond any Kaiser or Nash cars. AMC bought Jeep in 70s to compete with the big three (GM, Ford, Chrysler) but had horrible automobiles (witness the Gremlin, Javalin, & Pacer). They bought Jeep which kept them afloat for a little while but their cars were huge failures - Again, Jeep survived & Chrysler bought Jeep in 1987. They formed the Jeep/Eagle division. Eagle was a fail but they've kept Jeep under their umbrella. Chrysler has had subsequent mergers with Daimler-Benz & now Fiat. And Jeep continues to survive & has had 32 yrs as a Chrysler division ~ longer that ownership by any other past owners including Willy's. Jeep is a successful niche market but can't be the sole division to keep a major auto manufacturer solvent in modern economic times.
Jeep makes money, rest of companies a drag on it...
