1969 Jeepster Commando Deluxe Model Hardtop. It has the Dauntless (Buick) 225 V-6, TH-400 Automatic Transmission, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Dana 27 Front Differential, Dana 44 Rear Differential, both with 3.73 gears. Originally an Arizona vehicle it was restored in 2006 in Texas, sold in 2008 and trucked to its present Oregon location where it’s been garaged since then and used very little. It was a trophy winner at the 2011 Medford, Oregon Cruise Car Show. Engine: prior to restoration the odometer showed 25,268 miles. Due to the condition of the overall drive train and the overall cleanliness and the amount of factory paint on still on the engine, the restorer believes that the mileage is original. Most of the mileage accumulated when it was being towed by a Winnebago. The following was replaced with the correct stock style parts or rebuilt: One-Wire Delco alternator, repainted valve covers and replaced gaskets, repainted oil pan and replaced gasket, all new hoses and clamps, vatted and repainted radiator, new belts, all brackets repainted, new wiring (all matches factory appearances, but used larger gauge and added fusible link at ignition wire from alternator), firewall refinished, degreased engine, new paper element style air cleaner, rebuilt carburetor (factory Rochester 2G), new battery installed this summer. Due to lack of regular use, it starts a little rough, but once it’s warmed up, it runs well. Suspension and Driveline: During the restoration the frame was blocked and all suspension was removed. The frame was wire brushed and scrubbed and the underbody and frame was then power washed and degreased. Then the frame was painted with POR-15 chassis coat and the underside was coated with 3M undercoating. From there, all the suspension components were disassembled and sandblasted. All leaf springs were re-arched to factory specifications and had one new leaf replaced in the pack to hold the re-arching. All components were painted with POR-15 then re-assembled. Both differentials were disassembled, sandblasted and painted with POR-15. Everything was finished up with new bushings, bolts and seals. Body, Trim and Top: To complete the body finishing, all components were disassembled. The entire interior was removed, front fenders, windshield frame, hood, front splash apron, tailgate and top. There was minimal rust repair since it was an Arizona vehicle. Where there was quarter size rust spots (the rocker panels, left rear fender well and floor), the areas were completely cut out and new metal was welded in. Afterwards, the entire floor and sidewalls were sanded and sprayed with a two part Herculiner bedliner product. All body seams and door jambs were sandblasted. Since the tailgates were notorious for rust on these vehicles, due to poor weather stripping and assembly, the restorer cut the bottom off the tailgate and took a piece of schedule 40 wall by 1/2 ” diameter pipe with two angle broke pieces of sheet metal welded to the top of it. This was slipped over the remaining tailgate assembly and re-welded. You can now sit two people on the tailgate with no sagging or cracking. The best thing about it is that it looks just like it was original. Then it was professionally prepared and sprayed base coat and clear coat Vintage Gold Metallic (Factory 69 Kaiser Jeepster Commando Color). The top was completely sandblasted with repair welds and seams sealed and painted the original white color code. Since this is the Commando Deluxe Model is has chrome side window surrounds and sliding rear windows. All these components were polished. All badges and emblems were polished and the lettering was repainted by hand. All reflectors and lenses were NOS items bought off eBay. Every piece of weather stripping was replaced. The passenger side rear view mirror snapped off its bracket and needs to be reattached or replaced. Interior: The entire tub was coated with Herculiner which was a great base for sealing all the seams along with providing a bit of sound deadening. Since the Deluxe models had loop style carpet, foil backed jute padding was installed throughout the tub. Then black loop carpet was installed that matched the OEM style for 1969. Also, being the Deluxe model, it has restored fiberglass panels that cover the rear sidewalls. The factory center console was restored and re-installed. The dash and sun visors were dyed and re-installed with no cracks or distortion. All gauges were restored and everything down to the rheostat for the dash lights function properly. Some additional fuses and updated wiring was added under the dash to make the electrical system safer. The original AM radio is in the factory location, but an AM/FM CD player is mounted in the glove box. The speakers are in the factory speaker location in the dash so no cutting anywhere took place. New door panels and seat covers were made to replicate the two pattern factory scheme the Deluxe models had. It all looks new. A small clip that is part of the driver side window crank assembly tends to come undone and might need to be replaced. Winning bidder to send $500 deposit within 48 hours of auction close via PayPal. Balance of funds accepted by certified funds, cashier’s check or bank wire transfer. There is no warranty expressed or implied with this vehicle. Thanks for looking! |

Finding surfing spots in the UK is tough work, even in a Jeep
Sun, 06 Jul 2014You truly have to love surfing to practice the sport in the United Kingdom. The area isn't exactly teeming with warm beaches full of sunbathers, and absolutely no easy spots to find big waves. To be a UK surfer, you need to be a fearless adventurer, not to mention quite lucky. And driving a Jeep might help, too.
Surfers Oli Adams and Micah Lester are traveling around the British Isles in a Jeep Wrangler Overland trying to find the best surf spots out there. These guys don't fit the laid-back surfer stereotype, but that's because finding waves in the UK is hard work. They say that the waves at some of these spots only exist for about three hours every year when the current and winds are just right.
To find these surf spots, the Jeep's offroad capabilities are paramount. In some areas, as you'll see in the video, there isn't even a beach, just jagged rocks. It would be like the movie Endless Summer, that is, if it could start snowing at any moment. These guys are clearly dedicated to their sport.
2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Buying Guide | Popular SUV questions and answers
Sat, Jul 14 2018The Jeep Grand Cherokee is several SUVs rolled into one. When equipped with the standard 3.6-liter V6, the Grand Cherokee is a refined and well-mannered sport-utility that delivers a comfortable ride, a handsome cabin, along with Jeep's legendary off-road prowess. At other end of the spectrum is the Trackhawk, a Grand Cherokee with the heart of a 707-horsepower muscle car. Powered by the same supercharged V8 found in the ferociously quick Dodge Challenger Hellcat, the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is one of the fastest and wildest SUVs of all time. Between these extremes there are plenty of other options, including two somewhat less powerful (but still potent) choices of V8. An available air suspension not only helps to make the ride smoother, it can significantly raise the ride height for any rock-crawling moments you encounter. Here you'll find all the information needed to make an educated buying decision if you're considering a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee, including safety and reliability ratings, engine specs, horsepower, fuel economy ratings and pricing. We'll also summarize what Autoblog's professional auto reviewers think of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Is the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Safe? The Jeep Grand Cherokee scores four out of a possible five stars in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's overall crash-test rating system. The Grand Cherokee was tested in both rear- and all-wheel drive format. The two Grand Cherokee models tested earned four-star ratings in frontal impact tests, and five stars in NHTSA's side impact tests. The only difference between the two is regarding their resistance to rollover, with the rear-wheel drive Grand Cherokee scoring a three-star rating, versus four stars in the all-wheel drive model. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which provides ratings for new vehicles based on its own comprehensive crash tests, found room for improvement when it comes to the Grand Cherokee's performance in its crash test regime. While it earned top marks in some categories – such as side impact crash tests, and front crash avoidance (when fitted with optional safety equipment) – the Grand Cherokee registered a "Marginal" and "Poor" rating for its performance in the Small Overlap Front test. This simulates a vehicle hitting a static object, such as a utility pole, with only a fraction of its front end.
2015 Jeep Renegade First Drive [w/video]
Fri, Jan 23 2015Would it surprise you to hear that a strong, vocal and loyal owner base can sometimes be a hindrance to automakers? Of course, no brand would ever admit such a thing. And sure, on the surface, you might think that having people passionately champion a brand would provide nothing but perks. As we've seen over the years, though, there are plenty of times when that's not the case. Jeep has most recently fought this battle following the arrival of the new Cherokee, where two-tracking purists and rock-crawling enthusiasts bemoaned the nameplate's dip into Crossoverdom. Now, with its latest vehicle, the off-road brand is trying to keep this vocal minority happy (or at least quiet) while building a crossover that has general-purpose appeal to consumers in an increasingly crowded and important small CUV market. This balancing act has produced the 2015 Renegade, a vehicle that, following our testing in sunny San Jose, CA, we're quite confident will appeal to both brand loyalists and the uninitiated, alike. Before we dig into the meat of our First Drive, if you're here looking for a review of the Renegade Trailhawk and its off-road abilities, you're out of luck. We did drive it, both on- and off-road, and will be publishing a feature on it in the very near future. But for now, we're focusing on the volume model, the Renegade Latitude. Instead of the off-roader-meets-E.T. appearance of the Cherokee that's polarized so many, Jeep has dipped its brush in the tin marked "Heritage," fitting a simple seven-slat grille, historically appropriate round headlights and square taillights. In between all that, there are flared trapezoidal wheel arches, like you'd get on a classic CJ or MB, tall windows to let in plenty of light and short overhangs. It's not the broader strokes that contribute to the Renegade's adorably busy exterior, so much as the myriad of smaller styling details that visually attach this new model to Jeeps of the past. The hood is long and mostly flat, forcibly recalling the bonnet of the original Willys MBs and Ford GPWs that US troops used to strategize, sermonize and operate on during World War II. But rather than make it flush with the grille, it bleeds over the headlights, like the front of an infantryman's helmet. The X shape found throughout the car is reminiscent of military-style jerry cans, while the mirrors are door-mounted, like Jeeps of old. The roof, meanwhile, can be blacked-out, further linking the Renegade to its big brother, the Wrangler.
