For sale is a 1972 Jeepster Commando. No Reserve. For those out there who know this truck, you will appreciate the unmolested nature of this particular vehicle. It does not look pretty on the outside, but it will make a great platform for whatever you wish to do with it. You could beef it up (new springs, shackles, a lift kit, 35s, etc.) and it would make a great hunting truck--couple thousand into it would suffice; or you could turn it into a show truck with a new paint job and some chrome on the engine; or you could do what I have done--nothing--and drive it around like it is. The drive train is strong and it's a blast driving around in the summer with the top off. It has enough power to tow a boat, and operates well in mud and snow. Be ready for a lot of attention though. I can't drive it anywhere without someone asking me what it is. Defnitely a unique truck. Certainly, it needs a little love, but hell, it's 40yrs old!
I've installed some aftermarket gauges (temp, oil, volt). The speedometer works but the gas gauge does not. All the exterior lights work. There's a dent in the passenger door and just behind it (thus the primer to keep the rust away). It's originally from Montana and spent time in Washington State. I bought it ad shipped it to New York where I've put less than 2000 summer miles on it the last two years. If you're within a hundred miles of me, I'd drive it to meet you, otherwise it would be smart to ship since it gets about 13mpg. I haven't had any problems with it and I am only selling it finance some work on my Landcruiser.

Jeep rear-mounted fuel tank controversy
Going high-tech, the 4x4 way
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Is It An Off-Road Adventure Or Just A Walk In The Park?
I remember having to get out and lock hubs and shift into neutral to engage low range.
Coming off press previews of the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover and the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that involved some heavy-duty off-road rock climbing, I'm simply amazed at the capabilities that these vehicles possess. But even more impressive (or troubling depending on your perspective) is the relative ease with which you can operate these vehicles in seemingly impossible terrain.
Jeep driver nearly gets washed away by fast moving river
Wed, May 11 2016Just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should. For example, you should never attempt to cross a fast-moving river in a bone stock Grand Cherokee no matter how shallow the river looks. Especially if you don't know what you're doing. A video posted recently to the Facebook group Jeep EXPERIENCE, shows an inexperienced jeep driver learning that lesson the hard way. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The video starts innocently enough, with a group of off-roaders watching one of their friends attempt to ford a shallow looking river. Things quickly go sideways however, when the driver of the silver Grand Cherokee just plunges right in and quickly gets in over his head. The river is moving faster than the driver thinks it is, the driver panics, makes some bad decisions, then the jeep is turned over and swept downstream. Eventually, the jeep is hauled out by a Land Rover after a long comedy of errors that involves one guy losing his trousers to the current and the Cherokee ingesting untold gallons of water. What went wrong here? Well, It's pretty obvious from the video that the Cherokee driver didn't have a clear idea of where he was going or about the condition of the riverbed. He chickened out halfway across the river, and in what appears to be a misguided attempt at turning back, he reverses, digs himself deeper in the riverbed, then turned broadside on into the current. When he changes his mind again and decides to just gun it for the opposite shore, he drives directly into a deep water hazard that would have been obvious to an experienced off-roader. At that point the jeep and the driver were doomed. Hopefully the driver learned a lesson here, and hopefully he didn't pollute that river too much with the jeep's fluids.
