Jay is right - he IS the President of the "Too much money, not enough brains" club. I think it's fugly AND just showing off to show off.

I saw one of these here in So Cal a couple weeks ago. OD green, with limb risers, but otherwise identical to this. It definitely commands attention, but its not for me.

Fun theme build! I'm still not sure why they keep putting 6 wheels on these things.

An old friend of mine was a mechanic at an Oldsmobile dealer when Jay worked there as a detailer. Several other people I know have dealt with Jay much more recently, never heard anything but good things about him.

Unless you hear Mike Baxter talk about his character on Last Man Standing.

Has that ever been up for debate? Just curious, he always seemed like a genuinely nice dude to me. You can always tell when an actor or TV personality is an A-hole in real life.

Awesome. When people buy those working people make money so no problem for me. Yes I agree Jay is a easy going guy. Good video. Thanks

I don't mind it other than the "angry eyes", I'd like to drive it just to see how much power it had

Ridiculously hideous. The builder looks like he does a lot of cocaine and this truck was the result of a terrible bender in Miami.

I looked at one of these pieces of crap in Huntington Beach. Junk, poorly done junk. Actually, after meeting Jay Leno at Bob's Big Boy in Burbank and seeing some of his cars, I thought he would have done better.

And all that money and they didn't even change the hood prop. Or bother to detail inside before they took pics.
First thing I noticed. Couldn’t spring for the redlines?

Pretty much the exact opposite of my own tastes, but the video was a fun watch. Just seems to throw money at a lot of the worst places. It doesn't even look like a Jeep anymore.

Like you, I've been fortunate to have crossed paths with him and this isn't his style. I think the title of this thread is a bit of a misnomer; the video is Jay reviewing the vehicle and the builder. I don't believe it's actually his.
