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!

2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee vs. midsize crossovers and SUVs: How they compare on paper

Fri, Mar 30 2018

In a world full of SUVs and crossovers all competing for similar buyers in similar segments, there are still some models that find their own little niches that lack such fevered fighting. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is one of those vehicles. It's an oddball in the sense that it's a midsize crossover SUV with a unibody chassis and independent suspension, but it still uses rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive systems and has some off-road capability. It's also a midsize crossover, but only offers two rows of seats. Despite the Grand Cherokee's odd nature, we did come up with a few crossovers and a classic SUV that seem to match the Jeep in size and pricing. We looked at the numbers to compare them on paper. You can find the raw data in the chart below and deeper analysis after that. As always, this is just a comparison of specifications and you'll want to check out our driving impressions of each car if you're getting serious about one or all of these vehicles. And if you want to compare any of these against other vehicles, be sure to check out our comparison tool. Engines and Drivetrains When comparing base engines, the Jeep Grand Cherokee's 295-horsepower is the clear power winner, beating the next most powerful 4Runner by 25. But in torque, the 4Runner takes the laurels with 278 pound-feet, narrowly edging out the Edge's (no pun intended) turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder's 275. That four-cylinder in the Edge will also be picking up another 5 horsepower for 2019, but it still won't win this power contest. Both Ford and Jeep also have another advantage in the fact that you don't have to settle for the base powertrain. Ford has two other engine options, a naturally aspirated V6 and a twin-turbocharged V6, the latter of which outguns the Grand Cherokee's gasoline V6 in both power and torque. That engine will also be bumped up to an impressive 335 horsepower and 385 pound-feet of torque. View 20 Photos The Jeep has the most engine options, though, and it's the only to offer V8 and diesel options. On most Grand Cherokees, the options include a 5.7-liter V8, which is only available with 4WD. It makes 360 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque, outperforming even the 2019 Edge's twin-turbo V6. The diesel engine doesn't make much power with just 240, but it makes up for it with torque at 420 pound-feet. And of course there are the SRT and SRT Trackhawk models with even bigger and supercharged V8 engines respectively.

Editors' Picks January 2022 | Ford Maverick, Jeep Grand Cherokee and more

Wed, Feb 9 2022

This month, we awarded Editors' Pick awards to a number of totally redesigned, new models. Most notable of the bunch is the 2022 Ford Maverick. Ford took a chance on a new segment, and its execution is as close to perfect as we could hope for. The Hyundai Santa Cruz is a worthy competitor, though, and was also named an Editors' Pick. Also in this list, we have the redesigned Jeep Grand Cherokee. It's an excellent SUV, and it's only going to get better when the plug-in hybrid 4xe model hits the roads. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in January that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Quick take:Â Jeep's midsize SUV hits it out of the park with the latest generation. We could stand to see some powertrain innovation, but the Grand Cherokee's premium proposition is sound. Score:Â 8.0 What it competes with:Â Honda Passport, Hyundai Santa Fe, Ford Edge, Chevrolet Blazer, Nissan Murano Pros:Â Highly capable, luxurious interior, choices aplenty Cons:Â Pricey, fuel economy From the editors Associate Editor, Byron Hurd Â— "Jeep did almost everything right with the redesigned Grand Cherokee. Its powertrain offerings are fairly unremarkable, but the new two-row 4xe will go a long way toward addressing that. It's an otherwise fantastic, modern, luxurious Jeep SUV." In-depth analysis:Â 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee First Drive Review | 1 fewer row, 1 more touchscreen Â 2022 Ford Maverick Quick take:Â The Ford Maverick offers tremendous value, efficiency, incredibly well-thought-out packaging, plenty of storage, a fairly engaging drive and ease of use, all with the utility of a pickup bed. We like the hybrid, but the EcoBoost engine and FX4 package offer more capability. Score:Â 8 What it competes with:Â Hyundai Santa Cruz Pros:Â Very affordable, Hybrid fuel economy, compact size Cons:Â Tight backseat, FWD only Hybrid, no cruise control in base trim From the editors: Green, Senior Editor John Beltz Snyder Â— "The Maverick is simply a dynamite package. It's smart, useful, drivable, efficient, providing affordable utility in the underserved compact pickup segment.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee gets surprisingly comprehensive update, new diesel power

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Traditionally, automotive journalists can be heard muttering something to the effect of "Geeze, it's about time!" whenever a vehicle's midcycle refresh is revealed. As we routinely see and drive new models many months before the public even claps eyes on them in showrooms - and then go on to tweeze apart their minutia in our daily writings - perhaps some impatience is to be expected. With so much exposure to a given vehicle, it's fair to say we tire of most cars and trucks far more quickly than the average consumer.
The alterations are handsome, if not subtle touches from the "If It Ain't Broke" school of design.
Which is why we're pleased to say "Oh, is it time for that already?" when it comes to the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The current WK2 Grand Cherokee hit the market in 2011 and climbed its way into our hearts with its rugged good looks, go-anywhere capability and surprising refinement. We're not yet tired of its appearance or performance, but even so, we're very glad to see Chrysler giving its flagship Jeep some attention, including a much-anticipated diesel powertrain option and some other economy-minded measures.
