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.

Terms for this auction: The buyer is responsible for shipping, I will be as helpful as I can in working with your shipper but arranging and paying for shipping is the buyer's responsibility.  Please do not bid if you do not have the money in hand to buy.  I will not go back and forth with someone's back to help with financing.  A $500 deposit via pay pal will be due within 24 hours of the auction's close.  The remaining balance will be due in CASH within two weeks of the auction's close and the jeep will need to be picked up within that time as well.  Any other arrangements or types of payment will have to be worked out before you bid.  Any type of bank check would have to clear my bank before the jeep is released to your shipper.  If when you come to get the Jeep you believe I have misrepresented something I will refund $400 of your deposit via pay pal.  I reserve the option to cancel bids from folks with negative or zero feedback.

Another crazy custom Jeep Wrangler spotted in Morocco

Sun, 03 Mar 2013

What in the world is the vehicle you see above? Well, um... yeah. We have no idea. According to the video description from YouTube, however, it's a modified Jeep Wrangler, and it comes from the same person who created the equally insane side-by-side merged Wrangler you saw here.
We can clearly make out the Wrangler-shaped passenger compartment up top, but as for the other bits and pieces that make up this rather amazing machine, your guess is as good as ours. At the very least, it seems to us that the car's wheelbase has been given a significant stretch, and the grille may have come from an International LoneStar Harley-Davidson Special Edition semi truck.
What other components are sourced from the massive International hauler? No idea. We suggest you check out the video below and draw your own conclusions. Oh, and if you've got any other ideas, feel free to let us know in the Comments.

Jeep Cherokee won't get diesel until sales of oil-burning Grand Cherokee improve

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

Okay Jeep fans, you want more diesel options? Time to step up and prove it. The only way Jeep will offer a diesel powerplant in the Cherokee, according to brand head Mike Manley, is if sales of the Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel nearly double.
Currently, about eight percent of the Grand Cherokees sold feature the 3.0-liter, EcoDiesel V6. That's simply not enough to warrant the bringing an oil-burning Cherokee to the US market, despite the vehicle's presence in Europe, where it's sold with a 2.8-liter diesel V6.
"Cherokee is slightly different because of its weight and size. When I think about bringing Cherokee diesel here, I would like to see Grand Cherokee diesel get much higher than eight percent," Manley told Automotive News. "It would have to be in mid-double digits."

Australian Jeep marketing stunt goes awry [w/video]

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

Jeep fans in Australia are none too happy with the off-road brand following a contest that saw ten new Cherokees sold for just $10,000 Australian (about $9,400), roughly a quarter of the vehicle's price Down Under.
The contest, called the "World's Most Remote Dealership," gave Aussies the chance to snag an ultra-affordable Cherokee Longitude (analogous to the US-spec Latitude trim), provided they could get to a secret dealership in the remote wilderness of western New South Wales, near the border with the state of South Australia.
In order to get the exact location of the dealership, though, potential customers needed to download an app, which would release a phone number 9:00 AM AEST on Thursday (7:00 PM EDT, Wednesday night). The first ten people who could call in and prove they could afford to finance $10,000 and get to the remote dealership, were given the location of the remote dealership.
