I live here and that was my first time to ride an OTJ as well! Thank you to the Cavite gang for coming out!

[IAmTheCoastalGhost]

YES! Filipino car culture is SO underrated. As a half-Filipino, I'm stoked you got to cover this, Larry!

[Malthus]

Much love for our Filipino car enthusiasts, never heard of OTJ's, they look like a blast.

Old schooler club of the Philippines, if you came to manila a lot earlier Sr Larry Chen, you will see the grass roots of the Filipino community 60s, 70s, and 80s car enthusiast in the US that you featured when you're still working with hoonigan.Did not get to see you in person in Ayala mall manila bay, hopefully I'll get a chance to meet you again somewhere else. I've been following you since your speed hunter days. I'm a big fan of your work 😊 Thank you for featuring the car culture here in the Philippines!

As a person born in the Philippines in 1958, love these low riders!
Thanks Larry 🙂👍💪✌

Probably the coolest jeeps I never would have guessed a jeep transformation like this!!

[SROC]

My first ever drag race and loss was to an owner jeep in the early 90’s….never equate a cars looks to its speed….nice to see how much they’ve evolved into while keeping the classic shape.

These things start out as ladder frames and you can put any engine, suspension, and body that is locally available. Most 50-40 year old pinoys would have driven and raced one of these against modified KP61 Starlets and Isuzu Geminis

I remember when you covered the one in the California guy that owns it RIP to the one that was making it in the USA Joel Tan and I appreciate that you brought back this weird culture in this lowered jeep

[AMBOY]

My uncles were one the first to modify these willys jeeps in the early 70s to late 80s.
I remember they slamming them jeeps down and installing a straight 8 cylinder engine from a Chevy Nova. They used to drag race them in Green Hills. They even mix the gasoline with high octane airplane gas!
It became a Filipinio custom. A status symbol for the middle class Filipinos.

[DonTrishLayne]

Amazing craftsmanship and ingenuity. Those things would be a blast to drive.

Fun fact, Icon4x4 sources body panels for their willys restomod from the Philippines.

My grandpa got 1 he drove it until he passed away... 15 years ago i used to drive it with him when i was still 12 years old then i moved to Italy to stay together with my parents when i was 15. I had so much memories with my grandpa's OTJ like my first driving experience my first accident hahaha luckily it was not a bad accident.

[mrhedgefund]

Larry Chen with more amazing content! 🔥🔥🔥. Appreciate your contribution to car culture for so many decades!

[ememe]

The OTJ has come a long long way. I'm glad to see that they're building these for fun... I remember our school principal driving one in 1990..

[kaloifortich]

when the stainless steel cybertruck aesthetic was revealed, peoples jaws dropped. me as a filipino, having seen OTJs throughout my life, i was just thinking: "its like an OTJ, but a truck with weird angles."

[ollievelasquez]

I remember these back home. Our neighbour was building one for years and it looked awesome when it was done. Low rider jeeps ❤

[NickThePilotUSA]

I have an otj project in the Philippines, long term project of mine using parts from my mustang cobra here in America. Ford V8 Jeep.

[reynaldoparasjr.]

There are different type of OTJ here in Ph
-FPJ style
-Cavite Long OTJ
-Tamiya/tikya are the type of OTJ you drive Larry! 😁

[jaymopar]
