Converting a WW2 Jeep into an authentic Philippine Jeepney
I'm thinking of converting one of my project jeeps into an authentic Philippine Jeepney. The idea is to extend the tub maybe 2 feet back -- this would allow 6 passengers (three on each fender well) to sit comfortably and have room for lap belts.
The jeep is already titled to my name with a non-op status.
As a resident of the Great State of California, what are the legal issues of this conversion, if any? I'm Filipino, so it's a cultural thang.
Thank you!
Dexter

Here you go, a nice start to a Jeepney. It is also in California.

Re: Converting a WW2 Jeep into an authentic Philippine Jeepn
Why dont you just contact SARANO and buy an owner Jeep?
the philipinos destroyed enough Jeeps by making them into those Jeepneys
Dont wreck another
I get charged double when I ride on a Jeepney because of my "girth"
they are extremely racist/discriminatory

I bet Dexter could find one on Manila craigslist and have it shipped home for cheaper than building one. I used to take one up to Subic City every couple of days.

Don't murder an innocent Jeep. Especially a VETERAN!

Please no. These things aren't growing on trees like they used to be.
My advice, convert a cj3 or something without a history

Just no!!! Not now; it is not 1950 any more. Not many left out there in the wild. Use a CJ.
