You are looking at a really nice example of the last Jeep Comanche pickups made back in the 80's and yearly 90's. Bare with me, I'm not an authority on these and I'm selling it for a friend, but I will try to describe it as best as I can. If you have any questions shoot me an email and I will get you an answer quickly:

Exterior: It appears to wear it's original paint. The clear is peeling and it's faded, but it cleans up nice and is straight. I can't find rust anywhere, it's really solid and not beat up. Dent in the tailgate, two or three small peck dings is all. You will be hard pressed to find one of these babies with a better body than what we have here.

Interior: Inside this Jeep is really nice. It's a bucket seat, console truck. No power windows or locks, so no expensive parts to replace either. It has a/c, which works and is cool but not ice cold, tilt wheel, and cruise control. Seats are great, not torn and ripped, console is good, not cracked or broken. Dash is not cracked, headliner is not sagging. Interior is unreal for the age and needs nothing in my opinion.

Drivetrain: This has the legendary inline 6 4.0 liter engine. What else can you say about this engine. It's the one everyone wants. It performs great and lasts forever. Radiator flushed, cleaned, thermostat, overflow tank and cap replaced. Transmission is a 5 speed peugeot, clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing, slave cylinder, everything brand new. Brakes new as well, rotors, pads, hoses, rear shoes, master cyclinder, everything gone through. Rear axle bearing and seal new also, due to a small leak. Battery replaced at the same time as all the other repairs. Dana 44 rear axle with spring under axle design, front is a Dana 30 with 3:08 gears. Runs and drives like it should.

In closing, you can tell by the condition, this vehicle has been taken care of, cosmetically and mechanically. I have invoices where he has spent over $1800 recently to keep this one in top shape. Check my feedback, I'm a straight shooter, everyone I sell to is more than happy with my descriptions so bid with confidence. Inspections are welcomed as well. If you have a feedback score of 10 or under, or a negative score, please email me first or the bid will be canceled. Sorry, these ads are expensive and I've had problems lately. With that said, don't hesitate to email me if you need more pics or a question answer. Thanks for looking.

China orders Jeep to investigate Wrangler fire risk

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

It's been some time since we've heard anything about fires related to the Jeep Wrangler (foreign or domestic), but it sounds like the go-anywhere SUV could be in hot water once again in China. Bloomberg is reporting that the Chinese government is ordering Jeep to investigate the matter and, in the meantime, also recommending Wrangler owners to not drive their vehicles in "extreme conditions" due to a "relatively high risk" of catching on fire.
There is no indication as to how many vehicles or which model years are affected, but the previous fire problems in both the US and China - which led to investigations but no recalls - were traced back to automatic transmission fluid leaks. The article, however, does not say what the potential problem is this time around as Jeep has not released a comment on the matter. The official notice, in Chinese, can be found here.

2013 AEV Brute Double Cab

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

These 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.

Updated 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee ace same controversial moose test it failed in 2012 [w/video]

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Some background: one of the more scandalous international incidents of he-said/he-said from 2012 was when Swedish magazine Teknikens Varld put the Jeep Grand Cherokee through its "moose (or elk) test" and reported that the SUV nearly rolled over. That lead to a whole lot of accusations and rebuttals: more than one website and Chrysler's own blog reported that the Jeep was overloaded; Chrysler said Teknikens printed the magazine then let Chrysler respond, Teknikens answered all of the charges in a lengthy post and said Chrysler was given a chance to comment before it went to print; when Chrysler sent investigators to oversee the test and the Jeep didn't go up on two wheels as it did in the first test, furthermore all four wheels stayed on the ground when Auto Motor und Sport tested a Grand Cherokee in the same way.
Teknikens then re-ran the test with a new vehicle and said it's been doing this test since the 1970s, uses the loading information that Chrysler provides to the Swedish motor authority and the previous Grand Cherokee passed with no problem. In the second test, the Jeep failed again, then it gave Chrysler engineers access to the car's electronics and ran the test again. In that second round the Grand Cherokee didn't repeat the lurid two-wheel action, but in eleven runs it blew out front left tire seven times. Chrysler still objects to the results of all of those tests and maintains that vehicle was safe.
The 2014 Grand Cherokee was given its shot at the gauntlet in the latest round of moose tests, and Teknikens Varld reports that it passed without any problem at all, its stability control working perfectly, controlling motion at low speeds and all the way up to 44.1 miles per hour. You can watch the video of the new test and read the press release from the magazine on the updated Grand Cherokee below.
