Industrious Filipinos took those old military jeeps, extended them two meters or so, slapped on metal roofs, threw a couple of benches into the backs, coated them in vibrant colors, ornaments, and an excess of chrome, and began transporting passengers. Almost instantaneously the jeepney culture was born, and these vehicles became the defacto way that Filipinos began getting around.
Today, there are over 50,000 jeepneys on the streets of Manila, and untold thousands more around the country.
As the jeepney gained popularity original parts became scarce. In 1966 Dr. Maximino D. Juan conceived MD Juan Enterprises, Inc. to answer the growing need for jeep parts in the Philippines and by 1969 had ventured into the export market focusing on jeep bodies and parts identified with World War II: the MB and the Korean War: the M38. Soon after, the civilian jeep models like the CJ series were being produced in the production line.

People in the Philippines have been reproducing the jeep ever since WWII, I believe. I have been there several times. I have seen jeeps in galvanized steel, stainless steel (brushed and polished) and occasionally painted. All with various engines. Gasoline and Diesel.

WOW, I had no idea Willys Jeeps were popular enough to keep a factory running!

I think it's great that they make these aftermarket parts for Jeeps. I had a short obsession with Jeeps when I was a teenager. I soon realized that I needed something more versatile.
