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.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee pricing leaks out
Thu, 24 Jan 2013With our deep dive and auto show coverage of the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee revealed at the Detroit Auto Show, we brought you as much information as Chrysler would allow us to, but one thing we're still left in the dark about was the pricing. It would seem that Jeep Garage might have the answer for that. The Jeep enthusiast forum claims to have gotten its hands on the ordering and pricing breakdown for the updated Grand Cherokee, and while a Jeep representative has yet to get back to us as to the validity of the site's claim, these preliminary numbers look pretty kosher to us.
In base form, the two-wheel-drive Laredo will reportedly start at $28,795, which is a $1,100 increase over the 2013 model year, and the new Grand Cherokee Summit trim level starts at $47,995 for 4x2 models and $50,995 for the 4x4. Waiting for the new diesel engine? The torquey new 3.0-liter oil-burner will be a $4,500 option on Limited, Overland and Summit 4x4 models, but 4x2 pricing (and availability) are not known. As for the range-topping Grand Cherokee SRT (no longer called the SRT8), this added performance could run you an extra $2,700 with a new starting price of $62,995. More importantly, loaded to the gills with all available options, the 2014 Grand Cherokee SRT will top out at around $72,400 - or around $6,000 more than a fully loaded 2013 GC SRT8.
We'll let you know if the gang over at Jeep get back to us with any confirmation, but until then, head over to Jeep Garage to see the pricing details it has listed.
2013 AEV Brute Double Cab
Fri, 11 Jan 2013These are the guys who bring an M777 howitzer to a knife fight. In terms of overall rugged utility, the all-new 2013 Brute Double Cab from American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) is about as overkill as they come, and we can't seem to get enough of the beasts that this company produces. Unlike most aftermarket firms, always striving to lower cost and increase volume (but at the expense of quality), Michigan-based AEV takes pride in its OEM-quality design, engineering, manufacturing and testing. Everything is as good, or better, than the stuff from the factory, and they have been doing it this way for more than 15 years.
Launched at the recent 2012 SEMA show was the 2013 AEV Brute Double Cab. Its debut marked the company's expansion to a four-door Brute on the newer JK platform (drawing inspiration from the Land Rover Defender 130). I recently spent a few hours with the new truck in sunny Southern California, though unfortunately, due to time constraints, I was limited to pavement-only driving impressions.
