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.

Autoblog Minute: Wrangler Pickup, Triumph Fined, Cherokee Production Moves
Fri, Sep 4 2015Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on highlights from the week in automotive news on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Triumph Motorcycles in violation of the Safety Act, Jeep looks to adjust its vehicle production strategy, and a Wrangler pickup may soon be be produced in Toledo. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore, and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. Triumph Motorcycles was hit with a $2.9-million fine because of a failure to submit safety documents to NHTSA in a timely fashion. An investigation of 1,300 bikes in September of 2014 led to this finding. Other violations were then discovered, like the late reporting of quarterly recall completion rates, and Triumph's failure to supply warranty data. Fines for these violations may seem harsh but U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said: "Manufacturers must comply with their reporting obligations. The law requires it, and public safety demands it. When companies fail to meet those obligations, we will hold them accountable." In FCA news, it seems that production of the Jeep Cherokee will be moved from the Toledo plant to a nearby state. Automotive News first reported on this adding that Jeep may produce a pickup alongside Wrangler to fill the void left by Cherokee. Jeep declined to comment on this news. Speculation surrounding Jeep's production plans depends on the automaker's ongoing negotiations with the UAW. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday, including details on Ford's performance Fusion. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore.

NHTSA investigating power modules on Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans
Mon, 29 Sep 2014The Center for Auto Safety is officially petitioning the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to begin scrutinizing alleged problems with the totally integrated power module (TIPM) on about 24 Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans. The advocacy group claims that the part's failure can cause affected vehicles to stall or not start at all. NHTSA is still looking into the accusations and deciding whether a full investigation is actually warranted.
The CAS petition claims at least 70 TIPM failures, but according to NHTSA, six of the complaints are for models that don't have the modules. In 34 of the reported cases, the vehicles refused to start, and in 17 of them the engine stalled. There were also two allegations of smoke and one of a fire. However, none of these affected airbag deployment or resulted in a crash.
This petition isn't the first TIPM-related problem for Chrysler Group. A recent report in the New York Times alleged that it found 240 complaints potentially related to the issue on NHTSA's website alone. In September, the automaker also recalled 230,760 examples worldwide (188,723 in the US) of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango replace the fuel pump relay circuit inside of the TIPM-7 with one external to the unit. The original part could allegedly cause the models to stall without warning. Even earlier, the company also recalled about 80,000 examples of the Jeep Wrangler and Dodge Nitro in 2007 to have the module reprogrammed.
FCA reportedly joins the crowd skipping this year's Paris Motor Show
Thu, Jun 14 2018It's likely FCA vehicles will not be seen at the Paris Motor Show this year. Automotive News is reporting that Fiats, Alfa Romeos, Jeeps and Abarths will not be a part at the show, based on information circulating in the French media. There's a possibility that Maseratis will be displayed at a special section dedicated to upscale cars, but Maserati too will not have a show stand of its own. Ferrari will have a stand, but as it happens, the supercar maker has been a standalone brand since 2015. Skipping the Paris show follows FCA's decision not to take part in the Frankfurt show last year, and the two shows alternate as the biggest autumnal automotive show in Europe. Volkswagen will also not attend the event, and neither will Ford, Nissan or Infiniti. This has become a problem for car shows worldwide, including Detroit's North American International Auto Show. FCA has not released a formal statement about the matter, but a FCA spokesman, quoted by the French magazine L'Argus, reportedly said that the sales and publicity brought in by the show stand would not justify the costs of attending. The news mirrors Volvo's newly announced plan to not take part at the next Geneva Motor Show, but to arrange "bespoke activities" to introduce its cars instead. Related Video:
