Ever seen “Jeeps” like these? Called “Jeepneys” in the Philippines, they are the major transportation for the lower income population around Manila and suburbs.

The “Jeepney” originated from all the Jeeps that the U.S. left in the Philippines after the war, and those industrious people added benches and used them for taxis. The modern Jeepneys are not Jeeps, but heavy diesel truck chassis with big bench seats in the back. They run a semi fixed route and people jump on and off the back while moving slowly, pass up the money to the driver, and jump off near where they are going. Most are very colorfully decorated.

Sometime my girlfriend and I and friends are going to rent one for the night and do a bar/strip club crawl.

All you guys have some nice jeeps, thanks for sharing!!
Got back from coyote yesterday and had a great time, didn't get any pictures of the big rocks because my wife had her eyes closed!! Lol
Only had a few issues with some jeeps, my son cracked his fuel tank bouncing off a rock and a buddy of mine tore up a u-joint. All and all nothing too hard to fix.

Hmm is that pea shooter mounted behind the second row of seats? Must get a tad hot in the sun.

The wife's daily driver JL that she sometimes lets me play around on the trails with! We drag it behind the motor home, and it's her mom-mobile dragging 3 kids around to school so I didn't go too crazy with it - just a small lift. Going to hopefully do Rubicon and Ershim later this year, haven't been up there in quite some time so looking forward to it.

Sweet Ride. Is the narrowed front end a kit and if so who's? My 76 is due for some TLC.
Thanks! Not a kit, just a bunch of time in my garage. I took 8” out of the tub, and 13” out of the grill. We did a friends grill without the tub, definitely more angle. 76 is a great year for Broncos, lucky you!

Here's the trail fix on my son's cracked fuel tank, he owes me a 6 gallon water jug and some 1/4" air line that I keep as a spare for my Lockers. Lol
Also a couple pictures of coyote lake.

My 03 TJ Rubicon. I bought it pretty done up. Highlights include and not limited to: Long arm kit, F/R lockers, 5:13 gears, cromo axels, full cage, steering all upgraded. I recently put a Currie antirock sway bar on it and a new set of 35" BFG muds.
