 After three years of rebuilding this Jeep to be a safe, head turning daily driver I need to sell it because I'm getting moved to South Dakota and I have an 11 week old newborn who's car seat just doesn't fit into this rig 

I have nearly $17k in parts in this rig, so no low-balls, Nigerian PayPal, etc...

Pretty much everything has been replaced/rebuilt in this frame off restoration.  Professionally rebuilt engine 5,000 miles ago with a pertronic electronic ignition, rebuilt Turbo 400, Dana 300 and open Dana 44 rear about 15k ago.  Stock open Dana 30 front with locking hubs, have a d44 that will go with jeep for free, along with the original un-restored hardtop that will fit over cage, but all of the bestop fasteners would have to be removed to instal the hardtop.  Has a custom 8-point cage and 4 seats with 4-point harnesses.  New 33"x12.5" tires about 1000 miles ago.

This is a very solid Jeep that is ready to drive anywhere; I've taken it to LA from Tucson with no issues.  This is a road warrior Commando.  It just isn't a practical daily driver for me with a newborn in South Dakota, and I don't want to move it. 

I can store the Jeep free for about a month no issues; if it takes longer for you to arrange travel I will have to leave the Commando with my brother here in Tucson and it will have to be stored outdoors...

I am only interested in a partial trade for an 88-90 goldwing 1500 for a flying motorcycle design I've been working on for years.  Contact me if you have questions or want to trade a wing: 702-630-0045

Commando is for sale locally, if I get a better price I'll end the auction and sell it locally.

Next Jeep Wrangler to keep solid axles

Mon, Feb 16 2015

Jeep fans, you're not out of the woods yet, but the latest news is good: Automotive News reports that the next-generation Wrangler will stick with floating solid axles front and rear. Fiat-Chrysler wouldn't comment on the report, but the theory is that the combination of cost, capability, and ease of modification were deciding factors. We're sure the multibillion dollar aftermarket industry is also pleased. Remember, Jeep showed off the lifted Cherokee Dakar Concept at the Easter Jeep Safari last year, but the first ingredient in the recipe for jacking up its independent suspension was, "a whole new suspension." Above that there will be an aluminum body that's smaller than the current one, which Allpar says could be done with a narrower track and tighter gaps. It will sport a fixed windshield with increased rake to improve aero efficiency, and while there are rumors of a diesel-engined version that we'll finally get in the US, there's been no reliable info as of yet to back that up.

Chinese Jeep production confirmed with Fiat, Guangzhou agreement

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Fiat has just finalized a deal originally set up in January between it and China's Guangzhou Automotive Group to bring Jeep production to China. It remains unclear which models will be built, although we're wagering that it'll be the 2014 Cherokee. What we do know, now, is where production will take place.
According to Automotive News, Guangzhou originally wanted production to take place in its home assembly plant in its namesake city. Fiat has battled to send production to a joint venture facility established between Guangzhou and Fiat in the town of Changsha. The joint facility won out, and now the factory, originally built in 2010 with a 140,000-unit capacity, will see Jeeps rolling out of it.
Currently, the GAC-Fiat factory produces the Fiat Viaggio, a jointly developed product that is closely related to America's Dodge Dart. And while it remains unclear as to which model will join the Viaggio on the assembly line, that model is understood to ride on Fiat's Compact platform. The only Jeep to share those underpinnings is the new Cherokee, so there's not much connecting of dots needed to see why this scenario would make sense.

Jeep Compass, Patriot will stick around for 2017 model year

Mon, Jun 20 2016

The Jeep Compass and Patriot may be getting a little long in the tooth, but Fiat Chrysler Automobiles isn't ready to put them to pasture. At least not yet. According to Automotive News, FCA plans to continue producing both models until the end of this calendar year. That will also take them both into the 2017 model year as the manufacturer prepares to introduce their shared successor. Jeep will likely build a stockpile of Patriots and Compasses to bridge the gap until the new compact Jeep arrives. The move is just one of many FCA is making to trim unprofitable car models and increase crossover production. The Jeep Cherokee is set to move from its current home in Toledo, OH, to the plant in Belvidere, IL, where the Compass and Patriot are built; the same plant was also home to the recently discontinued Dodge Dart. With Cherokee production gone, the Toledo plant in turn is being retooled to increase Wrangler output by 50 percent, including temporary parallel production of both the new model and the existing one. Meanwhile the replacement for the Compatriots, as they're colloquially known together, is expected to debut this summer in Brazil. Production is slated to take place, both in Brazil and in Mexico, starting January 30, 2017, with production of the Compass and Patriot reportedly to continue in Belvidere until December 23 of this year. By that point, the Compass and Patriot will be a full decade old, having been introduced in 2006 as 2007 models. Along with the Dodge Journey, they're the last FCA products still based on the PM/MK platform shared with Mitsubishi. The Japanese automaker still produces several models on the version it calls GS, including the Outlander, Outlander Sport, and Lancer. Related Video:
