Patawad po kung ma OT ako
nung nakita ko yung pinsan ng owner type jeep dito, yung miki moke, i said i wish i have one, malupit!

then when i saw how the mini moke evolved, i wished deep inside sana mag evolve din yung mga OTJ natin.
(tama ka sir dprox, lack of vision & fear to meet the challenges out of comfort zone. Ito din siguro ang kinatalo ng motorolla sa nokia, matagal na nag dominate ang motorolla, very complacent sa development tapos biglang nabasura ng nokia)
Daihatsu Mini Moke

another Mini Moke evolution (not sure of brand, austin ata)

good to know your not jap.

I like your insightful post...

the tanod chief in out barangay used to drive a mini moke for patrol in the 90's... everybody thought it looked ugly. Then, somebody I think traded a VW combi with him and he wasn't able to refuse the offer (my theory).

At any rate, the mini moke is a jeep in a sense that it is G.P. (General Purpose) i.e., gip - as in jip or jeep. Actually, it is more closely related to the Sakbayan (a.k.a. VW Country Buggy).

Cars that have a tub placed on the platform are normally called as buggy... in the olden days... Horse drawn cars are also called Horse drawn buggies (if they are not a close contraption).

and yes, the dune buggy is a more closer relative of the mini moke.

OTJ's are only related to it in the sense that OTJ's are also buggies under this classification... however, the platform is way - different.

Mokes are Front wheel drive - more closer to the Mini's.... and Sakbayans are simply Beetles in disguise. But an OTJ will remain unique in it's distinct category... no matter how hard we try to make an OTJ look like a car... people - once they see the flat fenders, grills, headlamps or even just the TUB and regardless of the suspension system... will never cease identifying them as owners or jeeps.

It's like a stigma. among... the closest relative or cousin of an OTJ for me is the RAV4. (wheelbase, riding height, configuration... it's really just a jeep with a glorified styled body and interiors.

Keep posting Tanoshi... Domo Aregato...

The 1960 M-422 Mighty Mite:

It had 4-wheel drive, 4-wheel independent suspension, a V4 air-cooled engine and weighed only 1700 lbs. If only our local manufacturers had more resources and forward thinking to make the owner jeep as technically advanced as the Mighty Mite.

This is a Daihatsu Mini 4WD Jeep with 4 Disk Brakes...

I keep passing by this jeep almost every other day since this is used as service staff jeep in a plant nearby...

I inspected underneath the chassis... it's interesting since it has very small differentials housings... but the disk brakes have large diameters... very uncommon for it's size.

I can't find the model name of this jeep... but the logo is Daihatsu... Just a rough guess... it must be 3 cylinders with 1000cc displacement.

straight axle ba?

tama ba na leaf-springs sya?

**ehnriko** · December 4th, 2007 07:47 AM

Yes they are... leaf springs front and rear with straight axles.

question lang regarding OTJs.
are they lighter than Japanese cars?
how's the fuel efficiency of these vehicles?

any kilometers per liter reading here?

gud am po...I was very delighted to see OTJ drivers here...actually kakaregister ko lang po dito sa site..I was actually looking for sites na makakatulong para maimprove ko yung OTJ na binigay saken ng biyanan ko..old skul jeep kung tawagin..saturn engine...eto na po ang mga napagawa ko na...

*change oil(semi-synthetic)
*transmission gear oil
*differential gear oil
*change fuel pump
*change water hose
*change air filter
*change battery from 2SM to 3SM
*change tires(second hand) nasa 75% pa naman
*change muffler
*change drum breaks

madami dami na rin yung mga butas sa flooring dahil sa kalawang...kaya I am planning to have it rebodied...

Ask ko lang po kung pwede ko pang ipabago yung design kapag pina rebody ko? yung original body kasi eh hindi nakapaloob sa chassis kaya yung rear, ang laki ng layo nung fender sa tires...laki tuloy ng space na pwede sanang gamitin...I would like it to look like a low profiled OTJ..naka 1 lowering block sa harap and 2 lowering block sa rear..

hope you can help me guys...

thanks
