This is a 71 Jeepster Commando. It is built like an old school gasser. Lets start with the new, rebuilt 327 Chevy small block bored 30 over, Edelbrock E210 heads, Voodoo cam, roller rockers, Weiand tunnel ram, twin holley 450s with 50cc pumps and 42cc squirters, flamethrower billet distrubiter and coil, ARP head and intake bolts, edelbrock push rods, chrome wheels and Coker tires, 94 Jeep cherokee 2wd front axle (not new) with new rotors and pads, new brake lines, master cylinder, wilwood residual pressure valve and splitter, auto gauge tach, velocity stacks, novac fender wheel headers, B&M hammer shifter, rebuilt turbo 350 trans with shift kit and 3500 stall converter, holley fuel pump, polly motor and trans mounts, and much more. The body work and paint was done before I got the car, its ok but not perfect (this is not a total restoration car just a fun hot rod so don't expect it to be like brand new). This car draws a lot of attention every where I take so if you don't like that kind of thing don't bid. It is a blast to drive, will get lots of rubber and is pretty fast. Dont know how much it weighs but it isn't much so it picks up speed really quickly no matter how hast you are going. Drives strait and the brakes work good, manual steering and brakes, the steering is pretty light due to the large steering wheel, brakes are a little stiff due to being manual but work good, with the power I wanted to make sure they were good so I changed the front from drum to disk. There is no top or tail gate and needs carpet and the seats redone. It has Corsa mufflers and they are very loud and the cam is pretty big so when you pull into that parking lot or car show you will get some respect. So if you want a car that is a blast to drive and draws lots of attention (and will scare the shit out of your wife) than this is the car for you.

Watch this 9-year-old drive Jeep Wrangler off-road [w/poll]
Wed, 28 May 2014This nine-year-old girl might be better at rock crawling than some people twice her age. But is it worth putting her in danger to do it? According to her father on the Jeep Experience Facebook page, her name is Faith, and she has been offroading with her family since she was two. At nine years old, she's now driving her dad's Jeep over the rocks by herself.
As you can see she's belted in and under her father's direct supervision and guidance. She shows immense confidence for someone her age and follows her dad's instructions on exactly what to do. Although, this could still be a very dangerous situation if something went wrong.
Previously, we saw a similar video with a six-year-old on a motorcycle driving on public roads through the desert. Voters decided by only a six-point margin that the adult should be in trouble for letting the kid ride the bike. Here, we have a slightly older child driving a vehicle off road. Where do you fall in this case? Is it still wrong to hand over control to a child? Let us know in the poll below and scroll down to watch the video.
Watch this 650-hp Hennessey Jeep Grand Cherokee go from 0-60 in 3.9 seconds
Tue, 14 May 2013Hennessey Performance Engineering has created an HPE650 package for the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT fitted with the 6.4-liter Hemi engine. When it leaves the showroom floor it has 470 horsepower and gets from 0-60 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds. When it leaves Hennessey's garage floor after the upgrade it has 650 horsepower - 530 hp at the wheels, according to Hennessey - and gets to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds on its way to running the quarter-mile in 12.6 seconds.
There's more than just a Roots-type supercharger bolt-on, with ported cylinder heads and high-flow headers among the many changes made to the engine. You can watch this pre-2014 facelift silver model prove its spec sheet on the drag strip in the video below.
What's really going on with the 2014 Jeep Cherokee's transmission issues?
Fri, 27 Sep 2013On September 23, Automotive News reported that Chrysler had idled the second shift workers it hired just five weeks prior at its Toledo Assembly Complex to build the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. At the time, Chrysler said it had "built the critical number of vehicles we need to stock dealerships once containment is released" and did not want "to put additional strain on our logistics partners ... upon release." That reasoning was not only unusual, it didn't seem to make sense.
It appears the center of the nine-speed issue is software, not hardware.
That same day, the Detroit News ran a piece claiming workers at the Toledo factory said the halt was due to issues with the Cherokee's transmission. It put the number of already-built Cherokees needing fixes at 1,000 and said that some of the workers not laid off had been instructed "to take the Jeep on long test-drives." That made more sense. Three days later, on September 26, Automotive News reported that the 500 workers laid off had been reinstated, with engineers "speeding repairs on the SUV's powertrain software." The AN piece didn't put a number on how many units are being fixed, but it did say that 12,000 have been built and are awaiting delivery to dealers. The best it could say about when dealers will get them, however, is that "progress on a fix is being made. It's unclear when shipments to dealers will start."
