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.

Jeep spied testing Hellcat-powered Grand Cherokee Trackhawk
Fri, Mar 11 2016The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is coming. We know this, because Mike Manley, the head of Jeep, said so. We showed you this brief spy video a while back, but now we have our clearer images of the Trackhawk undergoing testing. And it looks just like a normal Grand Cherokee SRT. Yeah, anti-climactic, we know. The four shots we have show a bit of camo over the front bumper and grille, likely concealing a tweaked design or visible bits of the 6.2-liter, supercharged V8. It looks like there's a rather substantial opening below the upper grille, almost like a ram-air system. There's also a smidge of what looks like tape on the front wheel arches, although this might not mean much of anything. What's interesting is what isn't here. There's no perceivable change to the back of the car. The exhaust pipes look like they're about the same size, there's no noticeable changes to the aerodynamics, and in fact, there's not even any camouflage. Jeep also hasn't updated the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk's hood, which is somewhat surprising considering the changes for every other Hellcat-equipped vehicle (concepts included). You can check out our earliest look at the Trackhawk up top. As for when this monstrous Grand Cherokee will debut, we're expecting it to arrive sometime in 2017, perhaps on FCA's home turf at the Detroit Auto Show. Related Video:
Sunday Drive: Variety is the spice of life
Sun, Nov 12 2017If there's any one new vehicle the entire world is anxiously waiting for, it's the Jeep Wrangler. Yes, of course the iconic off-roader has a loyal following here in America, but you could plop a Wrangler pretty much anywhere on the globe and everybody will know what it is. Put simply, the redesigned 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL has big, muddy shoes to fill, and the readers of Autoblog are just as interested in the Wrangler's rebirth as anyone else. Moving along, we were fortunate enough last week to spend a bit of time in nearly every version of the venerable Volkswagen Golf all in one day. There isn't a Golf we don't like, but there's one, easily identifiable by its three-digit name, that stands above all the rest: GTI. We think it's the best Golf you can buy, even if there's an R-badged variant that slots above the GTI in VW hierarchy. Rounding out our recap are three vehicles that could hardly be more different. The 2019 GMC Sierra, which was seen wearing pretty light camouflage, is a truck. The Lamborghini Terzo Millennio – which isn't going to go on sale, ever, at any price – is a conceptual supercar. And the Honda CB1000R is a retro-themed naked standard motorcycle. Variety really is the spice of life. 2018 Jeep Wrangler spy shot mega gallery Driving nearly every VW Golf: Base, GTI, R, Alltrack — here's what we learned 2019 GMC Sierra spied sporting just a thin wrapping The Lamborghini Terzo Millennio is a brutally fantastic EV supercar concept Honda unveils 2 new motorcycles, including retro-flavored CB1000R Image Credit: Brian Williams GMC Honda Jeep Lamborghini Volkswagen Technology Truck Convertible Crossover Hatchback SUV Performance sunday drive vw golf gti lamborghini terzo millennio
