 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.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Jeep's Super 'Ute Is Fun Thrown In The Face Of Conventional Wisdom
Let's talk asses for a moment. What do they have to do with the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, you ask?
Well, we're here to tell you that this SRT can haul some. Lots of them, as a matter of fact: Jeep has increased the towing capacity of its most powerful SUV to 7,200 pounds. Assuming the average donkey weighs about 400 pounds, the Grand Cherokee SRT can haul ass to the tune of 18 burros, give or take a covered trailer or so, which is significantly more than it could in previous years. In 2013, the machine could manage 5,000 pounds, while the first generation was rated at just 3,500. The increase is mostly attributable to a new eight-speed automatic transmission and beefier rear axle, and it's a welcome update for those who'd like to use their SUV as, well, an SUV with an emphasis on utility.

Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?

Thu, 15 Nov 2012

Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.

Watch this 840-hp Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 walk away from GT-Rs and M3s

Thu, Dec 11 2014

This last-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 does things that SUVs just shouldn't be able to do, like win drag races against tuned Nissan GT-R and BMW M3 coupes. Granted, the owner isn't coming into this fight with a stock Jeep – far from it. In addition to twin turbos whistling away, he says the engine is a 449-cubic-inch V8, which is nearly 7.4 liters of displacement. As it runs here, the driver claims that the turbos are pumping out around 14 psi of boost to give an estimated 840 horsepower. What's more, he further maintains the powertrain could reach around 1,200 hp with things fully cranked up. Even somewhat dialed back, this Jeep is ready to take on a breadth of formidable challengers, including a couple of Chevrolet Corvette models and a Lamborghini Aventador. Check out the video to see how this menacing Grand Cherokee fares in a day at the races.
