Grand Wagoneer Parody Commercial by Termite Offroad

Tripped across this Youtube video this morning & thought you'd enjoy. Was made by Termite Offroad of southern Mississippi. Have been watching their channel for the last couple years - is worth checking out.

The commercial is really well done. Highlights the quirks & uniqueness of vintage GW's.

Narration starts out with: "Nothing says America like a vehicle made with parts from GM, Ford & Chrysler..."

Laughed out loud when the "Squid Launcher" feature was called out: offers fresh air filtered thru piles of leaves

Enjoy!

I follow their channel as well. They have some great camping, wrenching, and FSJ oriented content.

That is so freaking funny! I loved the "patented oil leak technology" comment. :lol:

My biggest issue with these guys is that they spend 90% of the video just talking to the camera, and then they blow through the actual project super fast (usually time-lapse) so it's just like 2 minutes out of a 10 minute video that's actually working on stuff.

Awesome parody though :lol:

There are 2 major differences between new Wranglers and FSJs. FSJs are meant to be both utilitarian and capable, not just capable. FSJs are also rarely initially recognized as Jeeps by the average American.

Thanks for sharing. I'm going to start watching them! Sad part is, most folks won't "get it" like us. Love it.
