1969 Jeep Jeepster Commando C101

This is a trail rig to end all trail rigs... or for just bumping around town. It has a strong running 225 c.i. Dauntless V6 that is clean and well maintained. Has Dana 27 and Dana 44.Oil pressure is spot-on and fires right up from a cold start. This Jeepster has a TH400 Auto transmission. The auto trans was installed by a 4x4 shop which replaced the original three speed T-14. I still have the manual transmission and it comes with the Jeep, flywheel included. The clutch is still intact so you have a choice. The transmission has an aftermarket oil cooler.
The spring over axle lift was professionally done and is super stable with newer leaf springs, shackles and dual shocks all around. The new duel exhaust is from Flowmaster and sounds tough. The high quality 4bbl 470 cfm Holley Truck Avenger carburetor was professionally and fully rebuilt (looks brand new) two weeks ago and sits atop of an Offenhauser intake. The body and floors are in great shape for its age. There is one small hole through the drivers side floor and one small hole through the passenger side (see pics). There is minor spotting of rust at the bottom leading edge of the drivers door and one small rust hole through the side of the hood. The bed and tailgate are good with minimal surface. The tailgate is in great shape with a about an inch of separation from its hinge on the inside but the rest is solid and ready for paint. ALL of these are extremely easy to fix with the right tools. Any other rust is superficial and merely surface. It will clean up very easily and nicely before paint. This body, floor pan, and tailgate are collectively cleaner than most I have seen . The frame and underbody were Rinolined years ago which has kept it in amazing shape and unequivocally solid with no rust to speak of. The duel shocks on each corner are fresh (despite some surface discoloration on some). The doors are not original and are from a 70 but are in good condition. All the glass is intact and nice except for the windshield. The rubber around the doors in window slot need replaced.
I have a windshield ready to be installed at my cost at a local shop that specializes in windshield of this nature. I had the alternator tested when I replaced the battery last week and it passed, The battery is new and warrantied for 3 years. The tonneau cover is custom and you will not find many like it out there. It has a solid tow hitch with a two inch receiver. A hefty roll bar comes with the Jeep. The 33 inch BFGs are in good shape and have about 50% tread left. This Commando does need a few things i.e. wiring harness for rear lights and blinkers, front bumper, horn, and some odd and ends like glove box insert, windshield wiper blades etc. It will not take much to make it an unbeatable beautiful Jeep. I have contacts for many of these and other miscellaneous items for a Commando.
Why go with a CJ-5 or CJ-7 like everyone else, Go Commando and you will have a unique piece of Jeep history.

NOTE: The wheels you see here are being sandblasted and I will update photos Wednesday. They are in great shape but needed some cleaning up. New lug nuts are waiting their completion and they will be ready for you to paint any color you so choose.

*I will help facilitate shipping this Jeep at buyers cost and can give you the name and number to a reputable transport company. I will also assist in loading it.

Please ask all questions necessary BEFORE bidding and before the auctions end.

Do not hesitate to ask questions or request a specific picture. You can also PM for my cell and we can talk more about it prior to the auctions end. It is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early even if reserve is met.

Thanks and good luck!

Jeep Wrangler gets the wide-track treatment

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

When we read the tip about a Gulf-state diplomat in Rabat, Morocco who had supposedly "merged two Jeep Wranglers," we figured the two off-roaders were somehow linked front-to-back. Oh no. As you can see in the image above, taken from video of that vehicle actually traveling down the road and needing more than one lane to do it, the two Jeeps were put together side-by-side.
The seriously widebody truck is said to have six wheels, one at each corner and two in the middle. That's about all anyone seems to know about it at the moment, and that's probably enough - in these situations you know better than to ask why, just watch the video below.

Hackers stole Jeeps in Texas using FCA's internal dealer software

Fri, Aug 5 2016

This article has been updated with details on how the thefts were carried out, and with comments from FCA. It seems the news regarding vehicle hacking continues to get worse, especially when it comes to products from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Last year, a Jeep Cherokee in St. Louis, Missouri, was wirelessly hacked from Pittsburgh. Nissan had to shut down its Leaf app because of vulnerabilities. Now, a pair of hackers in Houston, Texas, stole more than 30 Jeeps over a six-month period. The two were arrested by police last Friday while attempting to steal another vehicle. ABC 13 in Houston reports that police had been following Michael Arcee and Jesse Zelay for several months but were unable to catch them in the act until now. The two were using a laptop to connect to and start a vehicle. The thieves were able to access Fiat Chrysler's own DealerCONNECT software. After entering the vehicle identification number, the hackers were able to reprogram the cars' security systems to accept a generic key, according to The Houston Chronicle. Additionally, Automotive News reports that FCA subsequently updated the terms of use for its DealerCONNECT program. These thefts were not related to the UConnect remote hacks from last year. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. In April, this surveillance video showed the theft of a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. It was this footage that first led the police to Arcee and Zelay. The police began to follow and record the pair. That investigation eventually led to Friday's arrest. Both are charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. In addition, Arcee is charged with felon in possession of a weapon and possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance. According to ABC 13, Homeland Security is investigating more than 100 stolen FCA vehicles that they believe were hacked using this method. After their theft, the vehicles were brought across the border to Mexico. FCA is currently conducting an internal investigation into the matter. After this article was posted, the company reached out to Autoblog, stating "FCA US takes the safety and security of its customers seriously and incorporates security features in its vehicles that help to reduce the risk of unauthorized and unlawful access to vehicle systems and wireless communications. FCA US has been cooperating with Houston Police Department since they first started the investigation.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT

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.
