This is a 1966 Jeep Commando.  Sort of a rare bird really, I have seen on some sites that there were few of these made.  Not sure what the exact number is. I have heard like 800 or so for that year.  Maybe more or less.  Has the original V6.  Tranny is an SMP420 Chevy, dana 20 T-case, and the axles are 70's model CJ axles.  I didn't do any of this, so I have no idea what the specifics are on those items.  The pictures tell you the story, some rust in the bed, near the tailgate, and near the front quarter panel seams.  Carb needs adjusted a bit, it takes a bit to get it started when cold, but runs well after that.  Runs 60-75 on the highway, and I have used it as a daily driver.  Has a valve cover leak and I have the new seals, but I havent gotten around to putting them on.  This has affected the starter at times, sometimes the starter takes a couple of turns on the key to engage.  Put the seals on the valve covers, this will go away. I also purchased gaskets for the manifolds, has a bit of an exhaust leak.  I also have new shocks for it as well.  I purchased another steering wheel that is original, but haven't put it on.  All the switches work except for the wiper washer. Heater works good, two speeds for the fan, all original.  The gauges all work, and the lights all work on the dash cluster.  Glows a cool green at night with the lights on. Has an aftermarket radio, but I have never used it.  The original bumpers are in the bed of the jeep at this time.  All lights work, signals and brakes.  Brakes work fine as well.  Clutch is good, no problems there.  Has all the original mechanisms for the rear tail gate, clips and everything works.  The spare tire carrier is actually a period correct aftermarket add on.  Also have some better "V6" emblems than what are currently on the jeep.  In fact, I have the rear emblems that go on the tail gate as well.  Frame has some surface rust, but I see no areas of rust through and it appears strait to me.  tagged and titled in Oklahoma. title is clear. Has the original Kaiser Jeep tag on the body on the firewall as well.  One more item I have is the console and shifter that you can use to make this an automatic transmission Commando. Despite its looks, its a solid old rig and could be on the trail today the way it sits.  

 

The Scrambler that you may see in one of the photos is sold, so don't ask lol.

Jeep leads list of 25 most patriotic brands

Thu, 04 Jul 2013

It's not unusual to feel extra patriotic this time of year, what with the Fourth of July being today and all. As if to celebrate, New York-based research firm Brand Keys conducted a study among 4,500 consumers about what brands they find to be the most patriotic. According to the Detroit Free Press, Jeep took top honors in this study, besting other American stalwart brands including Coca-Cola, Levi's and Hershey's.
Interestingly, the only other automotive brand to make the list was Ford, in the 16th spot (motorcycle fans take note - Harley-Davidson claimed the No. 13 slot). This means consumers found Jeep to be more patriotic than any of the brands in the General Motors portfolio, including Chevrolet, which has long used American themes in its advertising over the decades.
According to Brand Keys, Jeep came in "with a score of 98 out of 100 on a scale representing consumers' emotional engagement expectations," the Detroit Free Press reports. Be sure to read the report to scan the entire Top 25 list for yourself.

Jeep shows off Moab Easter Safari concepts crawling the red rocks

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

While most brands are busy showing off in New York, Jeep headed out to Moab for the Easter Jeep Safari with the company's fleet of 2013 concepts. This year saw the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk II, Wrangler Mopar Recon, Wrangler Stitch, Wrangler Sand Trooper II, Wrangler Flattop and Wrangler Slim Concepts tackle the rocks and sand, and Jeep was kind enough to bring along a camera crew to film the machines rolling over a few obstacles. The result is the video below, though don't expect to see too much hardcore off road action.
Instead, the quick clip features more than a few interviews with Jeep executives, including Jeep Head of Product Design Mark Allen, explaining what makes the Easter Jeep Safari so important. You can check out the quick clip below for yourself, and be sure to thumb through our galleries of the concepts as well.

How to update and secure a vulnerable Chrysler Uconnect system

Sat, Jul 25 2015

If you own one of the 1.4 million vehicles affected by the recent Chrysler software recall, you may want to watch this video. In it, we explain how to get the latest infotainment software loaded onto the 8.4-inch Uconnect system. The recall was a response to the findings of researchers who were able to hack into and remotely control a 2014 Jeep Cherokee through its cellular connection. Although Fiat Chrysler has worked with Sprint to plug most of the holes on the carrier side, there are still some vulnerabilities that only this latest software version can patch. Owners have three options to get the update: download it now, wait for a USB stick in the mail, or take the vehicle to an FCA dealer. Chrysler will be sending USB sticks loaded with the software update to customers. Anyone with an internet connection and a USB stick of their own with at least 4 GB capacity can speed things up by downloading the patch from the Uconnect website. We cover that process from start to finish in the video, with the final portion still applicable to those using the FCA-supplied USB stick. If after watching this you still don't want to tackle the patch yourself, you can take your vehicle to the dealer to have it done. Also note that this process is the same for all Uconnect updates, not just the one patching the exploits. Our demonstrator vehicle is a 2015 Ram 1500 pickup. The procedure should be very similar on other products with the 8.4-inch Uconnect system, with only the location of the USB port varying. Once you have the USB stick with the software on it – either after having downloaded it yourself or receiving it in the mail from Chrysler – the installation process is relatively simple. It takes about 15 minutes to perform the update; we edited out the wait in the video. To check whether or not your car's 8.4-inch Uconnect system is running the latest software, go to System Information on the touch screen's Settings page and look at Software Version. The update related to the recall is version 15.17.5. Related Video: Recalls Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Safety Technology Infotainment Videos Original Video hacking
