It makes me proud when a veteran takes his training, and experience to create a business that employs other veterans. The entire business idea uses the best aspects of innovation, and combines them to positively modify a 1990's vehicle into a modern, high-performance, vehicle. The product doesn't stop there. The Raglan already has features that are being implemented in the future. It makes the Raglan possess an anti-outmoded platform for the prospective buyer. My congratulations, and admiration to Joe, and his compatriots for their service, and post- military adequacy to compete with other manufacturers. Well done! My sincere thanks to Jay Leno for featuring the Raglan and its story to us all.

😂 mate im in Scotland and litteraly everyone i know avoids LR like the plague. They are dying out in the UK the MOT database proves they are less popular than ever mainly because folk know the Japanese stuff humiliates LR vehicles. A Jimny can spank a defender on any terrain. You know fine well the reputation LR have here in the UK, its abysmal.

I like these guys as im ex UK military myself.. but a Land Rover refurbished by people who dont know about them then powered by a junk Tesla motor is one of the biggest turn offs in the UK. Im amazed Americans still bother refurbishing them they last 5yr between refurbs they are fraught with easily rotted materials and if theyve not glued and backed some of the Alloy up it will be needing another refurb in 3yr. Go have a look on UK green laner forums and even the experienced LR refurbishers the cars need constant attention. Seen a thousand LR refurbs that fell apart in months not even years.

I popped the hood on the first Land Rover I've ever messed with a little while back and started having old Buick Nailhead flashbacks from my wrench spinning days. They definitely favor those masterpieces of old automotive mechanical art. Just a slightly smaller version of those incredible engines. You can keep your electric motors. I'll always prefer my horsepower produced by a series of controlled explosions. Like any old real gearhead, true to tradition.

British Car Services in Inglewood, CA sold me an absolute lemon Land Rover Defender. It was a nightmare to own breaking down immediately out of their driveway and weekly thereafter. At the time, I didn't know what to look out for when buying and got taken advantage of. Finally got to sell it to another Defender seller, but at a huge loss. Still in love with the trucks though; lesson learned for next time. Great video, Jay. 🙂

Very nice example of an electric conversion with stock running gear. Glad to see it! Hand built cars are always higher quality than those built on an assembly line, just look at a home-built classic, or specialty shop-built car. No comparison with "manufactured" cars. Thank you, Mr. Leno, for showcasing a veteran-owned and operated business. They know the value of practicality and what really matters, they get it done well and, like he said "on time and under budget". ;-) LOL, just realized the builder is using the term "motor" correctly; electric motor, gasoline engine.
