Henderson, Nevada, United States

 This a 1971 Jeep Jeepster Commando currently with 40,234 on the odometer. It has about 1,000 miles on it since paint, engine, and interior were all done. The engine is a Buick 231 Even-Fire V-6. Engine can be setup to run fuel injection. Engine was rebuilt along with the TH400 transmission. On the engine, it has a Rochester 2GC carburetor (Automatic Choke), HEI distributor, Heavy duty polished alternator,  High flow water pump, Manual fuel pump, and new spark plugs and wires. Has dual exhausts running to the front of rear tires. Radiator has been re-cored and keeps the engine cool at 180 degrees. I have replaced the old 15 gallon fuel tank with a poly 17 gallon tank with new sending unit and fuel lines.  Jeep has a disc conversion on front brakes to increase stopping power. The brakes are powered by a new 70/30 master cylinder and a 10" power brake. Both calipers, discs, pads, and bearings are all new. On the rear brakes, both wheel cylinders and drums are also new. All u-joints have also been replaced on both drive shafts. Suspension is basically stock as far as I know. Previous owner stated that nothing had been done to it. I do believe that it might have a little bit of lift but am not sure. Jeep is sitting on a set of Pro-Comp 1079 rims with bead-lock rings. Rings are showing some age as some chrome plating is coming off. Rings are still available through manufacture. Tires are 35x12.5x17LT Pro-Comp All Terrains. Tires have about 40% to 50% tread still left. The wheels are connected to 4- 2" wheel adapters/spacers. All lenses for lights have been replaced and are in working condition. The Jeep is painted in a very nice "Graphite Greys ." Before it was painted, it was taken down to bare metal to expose any rust. All rust (which was very little) was taken care of. It has two coats of primer, two coats of paint, and 4 coats of clear. Paint is in great condition besides a few minor chips. The inside floor board is coated with truck bed liner and dark grey carpet covering it. Seats were professionally upholstered with a light grey durable tweed fabric. Two front seats are not original but look fantastic in this jeep. Rear seat is original and matches front seats. Jeep has a Sony cd player in dash and 3.5" Kicker two-way speakers in doors. Also has 2- 6"x9" three-way speakers mounted on the side panels behind front seat. Automatic console is original and is covered with the tweed material as well to match front seats. All rubber seals have been replaced except for hard top and front windows. Windows are original and do show signs of age. They do have some scratches and front has a little rock chip. This over 40 years old and was only made for 5 years by the Kaiser Motor Corporation. This was the last production year of the Jeepster Commando. These have become very popular over the years and are getting harder to come by. I have done a lot of the hard work finding parts. In the last two years, parts have been more readily available through Jeepster websites. I have tried to give you the best detailed description I can. I am located in Las Vegas and will be happy to show by appointment only. I can be reached at EricRoseth@gmail.com. This has been my pride and joy for many years and have put around $16k into it which doesn't even include many man hours it has taken.  Thanks for looking and reading! Happy bidding!

2015 Jeep Renegade leaks out ahead of Geneva debut

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

Meet the Renegade - Jeep's new baby crossover that's set to debut at the Geneva Motor Show this week. The folks at Jalopnik got their hands on a small batch of photos of the new little cutie, showing what appears to be a Trailhawk (read: trail-rated) version, as well as a more civilian-spec Renegade, complete with a new removable roof system, reportedly called My Sky.
Details are slim, though in addition to the exterior images, one photo of the interior has also been leaked, showing what appears to be a small, yet functional (and nicely appointed) cabin. Early reports suggested that the new small Jeep would be based on the Fiat 500L platform, though Jalopnik rightly points out that the Renegade looks an awful lot like the Panda 4x4. Regardless, there's still likely some 500L bones under there, and we'll know more once the official details are revealed in the very near future.
Head over to Jalopnik for more shots of the cute little Renegade, and stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.

Jeep Renegade pricing to start at $18,595?

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

While there's no shortage of excitement surrounding the new Jeep Renegade, one of the limiting factors to the little trucklet will be its price. With the Kia Soul starting at $14,900 and the Nissan Juke kicking off at $18,990, the Renegade can't afford to stray away from that price bracket.
And judging by some potentially leaked pricing info, it won't. A quick Google search of "Jeep Renegade Price" reveals (at least for now) that the Italian-built Jeep will start at $18,595. The "as shown" price of $25,895 seems to indicate the Trailhawk model shown on Jeep's consumer page.
If the $18,595 figure is correct, it's likely for the base, two-wheel-drive Sport model, with the Latitude and Limited trims falling somewhere between there and the $25,895 as-equipped price of the Trailhawk.

100,000 Jeep Cherokee models subject to further 9-speed recalibration

Thu, 29 May 2014

It seems that the software problems with the nine-speed automatic gearbox in the Jeep Cherokee continue to mount. The programming already caused multiple development delays and even postponed the Cherokee's market launch by roughly two months. Now, Jeep has issued another recalibration to hopefully assuage unhappy drivers.
According to Automotive News, this reflash for the allegedly jerky transmission covers over 100,000 Cherokees built before May 5, but it's not technically a recall. If owners are having problems and complain to the dealer, they get the new software. Otherwise, they continue with the current version. New vehicles on dealer lots also receive the latest revision to the programming. It takes only around five minutes to install, but technicians need to take the Cherokee on a test drive to adapt the gearbox to the changes.
The Cherokee's transmission software has been problematic practically since the beginning. The Jeep plant in Toledo, OH, briefly idled its second-shift workers last year to take care of the issue. Since the launch issues for the crossover, demand has been strong. Jeep added another 1,000 temporary workers to the Toledo factory to keep up, and sales were on par with the Wrangler in just its first two months.
