1973 Jeep Commando on 2040-cars
Johnson City, Tennessee, United States
|
This is a really nice jeep. I got it from a friend in Georgia who had it siting in a barn. I went through it mechanically and shot it flat black to prevent rust. I did not fix any of the little dents or dings but I did replace some metal in the floors and replaced the tailgate because of rust. There is still a little rust in the bottom of the rocker panels (see pictures), beyond that it is rust free. I built it to goof off in and have very much enjoyed it over the past few years but now it spends most of it's time in my barn only getting driven 3 or 4 times a year so I have decided to sell it, clearing some space in the barn and letting someone else enjoy the Jeep. I have replaced all the brakes including hard lines and master cylinder, new tires, radiator, water pump, gas tank, carburetor, HEI distributor, front seats, custom made bumpers, new tailgate and roll bar with new three point seat belts. It has 2" lift springs from Hell Creek along with new shocks and stainless steel brake lines. When driven regularly, the jeep starts easily and runs very well. At temperature (after being driven for a while) the engine temperature is at a constant 180 degrees and the oil pressure is at 20 lbs at idle and 55 lbs when driving. The transmission is the TH400 automatic and it shifts smooth and works as it should. The transfer case is the old gear driven type, Dana 20 I think, and the 4wd works as it should. The jeep has power steering (the steering unit leaks a little) and power brakes. The odometer reads 60,522. I have no way of knowing if it is actual or not. What the jeep does not have is a hard top. I have the back hatch to the hard top but no hard top, only a bikini top.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Jeep appears to have nailed it this time. After two decades of assembling its Grand Cherokee sport utility vehicle, the American automaker has finally delivered a world-class off-roader capable of taking on everything in its segment - and more - with a high likelihood of coming out on top.
And if you drove last year's model, it's time to climb behind the wheel again as Jeep has significantly updated the SUV for 2014 with a bold new exterior appearance, an upgraded interior with enhanced electronics and a new transmission that completely transforms the way it drives.
We recently spent a full week with a dark blue 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4x4, a well-optioned model fitted with the standard gasoline-fed V6. While it didn't have the punch of the range-topping V8-powered SRT8, or the fuel-sipping economy of its new EcoDiesel sibling, the high-volume variant left us quite impressed.
Chrysler registers Trackhawk trademark
Wed, 01 Oct 2014There may not be many ways to forecast what an automaker is planning for the future, but there are some. Trademark applications are one of them, and Chrysler has just applied with the US Patent and Trademark Office to protect the name "Trackhawk." The question is, what's it planning on using it for? We don't know for sure, but we can put together an educated guess or two. And one guess is that Jeep will use the name to replace the letters SRT on the performance version of the Grand Cherokee.
How do we figure, you ask? From a number of developments. For starters, the SRT division has been reintegrated into the Dodge brand. Those letters currently appear on only two vehicles from outside the Dodge lineup: one is the Grand Cherokee SRT, and the other is the Chrysler 300 SRT. We've heard ruminations (however unconfirmed) that the latter could be either discontinued or possibly relabeled, and if the same proves true of the GC, the Trackhawk name could serve as a on-road performance counterpart to the Trailhawk label applied to off-road versions of models like the Cherokee and Renegade.
Logical it may be, but it's hardly a foregone conclusion. The Trackhawk name could just as easily be used for a new concept (like the Trailhawk name was in 2007), for another kind of trim level or for something else entirely. In fact we don't even know for sure it'll be used by the Jeep brand specifically, or used at all for that matter. Automakers have been known, after all, to register names they don't end up using.
2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4X4
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Ice skates are spectacular on frozen water, yet they are dreadful everyday footwear. I consider the Jeep Wrangler equally as specialized.
I recently spent a week with a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4X4. Introduced for the 2007 model year, the Wrangler Unlimited is a standard JK two-door with 20.6 inches added to its wheelbase and two additional doors bolted to its passenger compartment. While Jeep offers the Unlimited in seven different trim levels, the desirable Rubicon is the most capable when the pavement ends, as it boasts a slew of hardcore off-road tools including front and rear electronic locking differentials and a front sway bar that can be disengaged at the touch of a button for improved articulation. My I-Look-Like-A-Traffic-Cone test model started with a base price of $34,095 (plus $995 destination). Options including a five-speed automatic transmission, Uconnect, tow package and a premium soft top, drove the bottom line up to $38,630.
