    truly,
    no man is a prophet in his own town.
    we do not appreciate the gems we have in our own country, as much as furriners do.

    How much are these going for these days (if the purchase was to be a local one and not for export)?

    Very iconic of chronic and lingering philippine subservience.

    I've heard that Some brand new owner type jeeps are being sold at the 500k price range so I'm guessing it's probably double the price. Not sure though

    at 500K - it will use surplus parts... only the main body is new.
    (running numbers in my head lang... I think kaya din na brand new yung brake system - pero no ABS)

    Much better to buy a slightly used suzuki s-presso for that price. Five-seater with a/c pa.

    agree. feeling ko talaga itong mga cheap cars ang reason kung bakit halos wala ng OTJs (locally assembled vehicles) sa roads natin.

    Sa YT posts ng mga sellers nasa mga 150k - 350k range. Mga deliveries nasa probinsiya din. Daily service ang gamit or pang harabas sa bukid.

    Documentation on "OWNER TYPE JEEP"

    May old thread pala dito. Parang Cavite builders na lang naiwan. Nawala na ang Malabon at Navotas builders.

    What It’s Like Unboxing A Brand New WWII Jeep Body From A Huge Wood Crate | The Autopian
    by David Tracy
    September 4, 2025

    Did you know you can purchase an entire World War II Jeep body on eBay Motors for under $4000? As I found out recently, the iconic sheetmetal arrives in a humongous custom-built box that originated in the Philippines. Here’s a look at what it was like opening that box and unpacking a World War II Jeep.

    Unboxing A Brand New WWII Jeep Body From The Philippines! | The Autopian



    I never thought I’d unbox a brand new body of the greatest Jeep of all time, but here at The Autopian — and especially with the support of our friends at eBay — dreams come true. More on this wild project coming soon!
    ---------------

    David Tracy's friend, Jason Torchinsky, once wrote an article about the Australian Country Buggy (Sakbayan):

    These guys should visit the Philippines. Jason Torchinsky (an air-cooled VW enthusiast) could test drive a Sakbayan and a Trakbayan. David Tracy (a Jeep enthusiast) could test drive an owner-type jeep and a Sarao jeepney.
