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.  

 

The Scrambler that you may see in one of the photos is sold, so don't ask lol.

2014 Jeep Cherokee starting price set at $22,995*

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

Love it or hate it, the 2014 Cherokee is on its way to a Jeep showroom near you this fall. Today, Chrysler announced the different trim levels, features and pricing for its new compact utility with a starting price of $22,995 (*not including $995 for destination), which is $400 less than the 2012 Liberty it ostensibly replaces.
Available in four trim levels - Sport, Latitude, Limited and Trailhawk - the new Cherokee will come standard with Chrysler's 2.4-liter Tigershark inline four-cylinder engine with the upper three levels offering the option of the company's 3.2-liter Pentastar V6. The base Sport is your typical entry-level model, featuring equipment including manual cloth seats and black exterior mirrors and door handles, but it also has a five-inch Uconnect media center, LED taillights and 10 standard airbags. Stepping up from the Sport model, Latitude and Limited trims bring increasing levels of luxury starting at $24,495 and $27,995, respectively. All three of these trims are front-wheel drive in standard configuration and offer varying versions of Jeep's Active Drive four-wheel-drive system.
The range-topping $29,495 Cherokee Trailhawk (shown above) comes standard with four-wheel drive and numerous upgrades to earn Jeep's Trail Rated fender badge. These changes include a unique design that adds an off-road suspension with taller ride height giving more aggressive approach and departure angles, underbody skid plates, distinguishing exterior design elements and a seven-inch, reconfigurable instrument gauge cluster similar to what it found in high-trim Dodge Dart models. Scroll down for a full breakdown of the 2014 Cherokee pricing and trim levels, and let us know what you think of the model's pricing and equipment in Comments.

Ward's releases 10 Best Interiors list for 2014

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

While we're still a ways off from the automotive awards season proper, where things like North American Car and Truck of the Year, Motor Trend's Car of the Year and Car and Driver's Ten Best are named, that doesn't mean there aren't trophies being handed out to deserving automakers. Ward's 10 Best Interiors being one of them.
As the name might imply, the magazine focuses on the very best interior treatments in the US market. Whereas some awards purposely exclude extreme, high-dollar offerings, Ward's considers them - the only requirement is that a vehicle has a "new or significantly redesigned interior."
Ward's offered up the list of winners in simple, alphabetical order, and it only seems fair to do the same:

Jeep Wrangler Copper Crawler is our idea of a restrained Mopar shopping spree

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

According to a recent report, the Jeep Wrangler is the most popular SUV for customization, and this is backed up by the fact that the iconic off-roader was just named the Hottest 4x4-SUV at SEMA for the fourth year in a row. Looking for ways to keep its customers in-house rather than going aftermarket, Jeep and Mopar are always teaming to offer exciting new parts and pieces for the JK Wrangler.
Compared to most other Wranglers on display at SEMA - as well as other Chrysler Mopar SEMA concepts - the Jeep Wrangler Copper Crawler is surprisingly reserved, but should be no less exciting for owners to give their Wrangler a distinctive look. Starting off with an eye-catching copper paint scheme, the Jeep then goes on a Mopar catalog shopping spree with its matte black grille, black beadlock wheels, two-inch lift, Rubicon bumper (with a winch and aero end caps up front) and rocker panel and taillight guards.
Jeep also upgraded the Wrangler's transfer case for low-speed rock crawling (hence the vehicle's name) and cold-air intake for extra measure.
