Classics vs. Modern type jeep

**nickriingen** · May 25th, 2010 10:19 AM

None for sure. Jurassic Technology, World War 2 Vintage Transportation. Cramped, Uncomfortable, Fuel Inefficient, No Safety Features Whatsoever. Just like ordinary jeepneys plying our streets that needs to be phased out.

"Modern" would be an owner-type with a coil-sprung suspension and an SR20 or a 4AGE engine. Neither of those owner-types match that criteria.

Furthermore, a "lowered" leaf-sprung owner-type just doesn't have any suspension travel... have fun driving that over a bumpy road. Have lots of fun if that road is wet.

+1. Yes! there is nothing modern about the OTJ. Be it the wwII vintage or the present day ones.

classic for me.

but only if it's like this:

trip ko yung pseudo-sayad styling. meron pang mga 4" compression yung suspension niyan. di lang maganda ergo dahil malapit na yung ulo mo sa bubong, mahirap makita yung traffic light pag nasa unahan ka ng pila sa intersection waiting for the green. some assemblers know how to make the driving position comfortable.

the americans have their share of lowered jeeps

Neither. I can't even pinpoint from the 2 which is modern and which is not. Well, if there's such thing.

They're basically the same. The 2nd pic, as what others have said already is just the dropped version of the first one.

And I don't think our OTJ's will be considered as modern unless they're slapped with some bad ass engine, all the power features that you could ask for, leather seats, wider windshield and I guess ... a different body platform which I assume will be still impossible to be done as of now.

Kasi, the OTJ's before and the OTJ's now are still the same. They just differ from the borloloys that the owner attach.

Dati ang ginaya jeep na pang WW2, sana yung "modern" naman ang gayahin eh, yung Wrangler o Cherokee

You mean these ....

IMO, they're better than the usual OTJ's we see in terms of it's looks. Just needs some improvement though on the engine, interior & exterior.

Not just looks. Those use SUV underpinnings... note the double wishbone suspension in front. Old school "stainless" ownertypes mostly use truck suspensions (front and rear leaf) like the Jeepneys do.

Yep ganyan nga pero sana naman kahit konting effort pa, gagaya na rin lang exterior lang tas internals 70 year old technology parin..Pero yaan mo na ganyan talaga eh not worth the hassle
