Up for sale is a 1971 Jeepster Commando 2-Door Station Wagon. It has good running 225 V6 Buick engine (3.7L) and an Automatic Transmission with only 71,582 original miles! Does NOT burn oil. It has the bucket seats and center console shifter. I recently rebuilt the carburetor, replaced the battery, replaced the distributor (along with points, wires, plugs, condenser, rotor and cap), and replaced the muffler and rear exhaust pipe. This thing now runs pretty well. The Jeep has locking hubs for the front wheels and four-wheel drive. Tires are in good shape. Automatic transmission shifts strong. The AM radio even works!

Last winter I picked up a Half Cab and bulkhead for the Jeepster. The bulkhead is currently installed, making the tops interchangeable! The Half Cab top is pretty rare and is worth close to $800 alone. The Station Wagon top has the sliding side windows and is in good shape (both tops are missing headliners). The Half Cab top gives the flexibility of using the Jeepster as a truck, of sorts, by creating a short bed. I rhino-lined the back area, but the back seat and seatbelts can still be bolted in when needed. Both the front seats and back seat have matching seat covers. The seats are worn but otherwise in relatively good shape. I just covered them so they wouldn't get any worse.

As with any 42-year-old rig, this one is not perfect. It has a very amateur paint job, mostly because the grill, left front fender, and hood were another color when I bought the Jeepster. I believe the fender and hood are from a 1967 Jeepster, so the fenders are not an exact match. The Jeep electrical system is old and temperamental (the dashboard illumination lights recently stopped working, for example). The ignition system has been changed over to a key and push button. There is some rust that will eventually need attention (front floorboards, the bottom of the tailgate and vicinity, one part of the Half Cab top drip rail, top of right front fender). The window and door seals will one day need to replaced, depending on how much you like the sound of rattling when you drive down the road. The rear window seal on the Half Cab has a gap at the bottom of the glass. And, there is that occasional clunk I've been hearing in the front end on sharp right turns. The brakes are good, but a brake booster would also make this a lot easier to stop.

Overall, a very solid classic builder that is driveable now, and gets plenty of thumbs-up. Great for winter and summer. Please email with questions.

Watch this R/C Jeep Wrangler plow snow

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

There's no denying the fact that the Jeep Wrangler is one tough and rugged vehicle, and there is apparently little lost when the SUV is shrunk down for a 1:10th scale radio-controlled version. Proving that the Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler is not your run-of-the-mill R/C car, YouTube user Andrew Dykiel posted a pair of videos showing it clear about an inch of snow from his sidewalk and driveway during a snow storm last month.
Starting at $379.99, the Axial SCX10 costs more than most budget snowblowers, but other than paying a neighbor kid to shovel your snow, this might be the best way for a car guy to clear snow without the need for hot chocolate and ibuprofen. Better yet, it's electric, so it's zero-emission answer to snow removal! Scroll down to see how this R/C Jeep can help "shovel" snow from the warmth of your sofa. We've also thrown in a bonus video showing the mini Jeep negotiating the Rubicon Trail.

2014 Jeep Cherokee starting price set at $22,995*

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

Love it or hate it, the 2014 Cherokee is on its way to a Jeep showroom near you this fall. Today, Chrysler announced the different trim levels, features and pricing for its new compact utility with a starting price of $22,995 (*not including $995 for destination), which is $400 less than the 2012 Liberty it ostensibly replaces.
Available in four trim levels - Sport, Latitude, Limited and Trailhawk - the new Cherokee will come standard with Chrysler's 2.4-liter Tigershark inline four-cylinder engine with the upper three levels offering the option of the company's 3.2-liter Pentastar V6. The base Sport is your typical entry-level model, featuring equipment including manual cloth seats and black exterior mirrors and door handles, but it also has a five-inch Uconnect media center, LED taillights and 10 standard airbags. Stepping up from the Sport model, Latitude and Limited trims bring increasing levels of luxury starting at $24,495 and $27,995, respectively. All three of these trims are front-wheel drive in standard configuration and offer varying versions of Jeep's Active Drive four-wheel-drive system.
The range-topping $29,495 Cherokee Trailhawk (shown above) comes standard with four-wheel drive and numerous upgrades to earn Jeep's Trail Rated fender badge. These changes include a unique design that adds an off-road suspension with taller ride height giving more aggressive approach and departure angles, underbody skid plates, distinguishing exterior design elements and a seven-inch, reconfigurable instrument gauge cluster similar to what it found in high-trim Dodge Dart models. Scroll down for a full breakdown of the 2014 Cherokee pricing and trim levels, and let us know what you think of the model's pricing and equipment in Comments.
