ONLY BID IF YOU ARE LEGIT AND CAN PAY VIA
THE RULES GUIDE LINED IN THE AD , its not that hard.
WE as a seller are legit and honest and here to help
please dont waste our time.  LOW HONEST RESERVE bid to win !

Heres your chance to own a pretty rare model 
Jeepster Commando Truck (or half cab) with the 
spare tire continental kit on it (haha)

You may say this is the original Scrambler !!

As most people know, usually all you see are these in there
Wagon form, but this pick up truck version is way more rare.
this Jeepsters has been a farm truck of sorts here in the Az
desert most of its life. Other then a little rust along the rockers
its a very rust free Jeep. Also being a ranch truck, it wasnt used
a whole lot and mostly just for stuff around the ranch and short
trips into town. In the last 10 yrs its barely been used at all.
It does run and drive , its not fast but has lots of torque.
Motor doesnt smoke or make any weird noises, but it does sound 
like it could a good tune up and maybe a carb rebuild from sitting.
Gas in the tank is all new and good. Trans and brakes feel great.
2 pretty cool options this truck has is PS and PB and both work great
They could be original or added at one time, not sure.

Shows 95k aprox on the odometer, prob original


DRIVETRAIN:
pretty much all original under the hood, 225 V6
factory diffs and trans, which all seem to work great for their
age. But these things where built to last and this one has stood
the test of time for being a work horse on a ranch. Tires are too
bad either. To start the car someone installed a push button
switch on the dash. So you use that and the key to start the car.
Sometimes it wont crank, so Im guessing maybe one of the switches
is getting worn out from age. That or maybe it may need some new
battery cables. We did install a new starter 
solenoid last week.
Choke works and I suggest using it when its cold. It runs a little
rough at idle. When you are on the gas, it runs much better.
Front hubs are unlocking / locking aka Part time, rear is locking Im sure.

INTERIOR: mostly all original and showing its age from the az
heat and sun too. Indoor carpet and seat covers didnt help much.
But if you recovered the seats and sunvisors it would help alot.
It also needs a good cleaning. Floors have some surface rust but
not soft. Its not pretty, but seems to functional and intact and
mostly original too.

EXTERIOR: the original color was 419 Prairie Gold and for some reason the
wheelwells are Red. Not sure if thats stock or not but looks original. The
silver paint on there now looks like it was done in someones driveway.
The body for the most part looks very straight, but the cab did get some dents
in it. The metal on this is so thick, that I think any damaged pcs would be
fixable. There was some mild rust on the rockers that will need patching
if you want to take it that far. Headlights work, but didnt see the taillights
working. Should be pretty simple, not much to the wiring on this thing.
The homemade bumpers would knock down a small building (haha) they 
are stout, but not original of course. It does have a tow hitch in the back
AND comes with a nice front tow bar too. No pitting on what little chrome
is on the truck. Doors all lock like they should and all the glass looks ok
and windows work. Obviously some things have been added to the body but
its all reverse-able too if you want to put it back to stock.

SUSPENSION: looks to be all stock and original , solid and almost
bullet proof the way it came from the factory. Shocks looks to be 
aftermarket and decent too. And it doesnt ride all that bad either
for as stout as it is. Not sure what more I can say, but please check out
ALL the pics below.

Check out ALL the pics below ----->

it may take a full minute for them all to load if you have a
slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra schroll
bar on the right side.
Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate.
more info AFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics.







































































































































































Hope you like the detailed pics
The interior floors are in nice shape as in much of the body
Im sure there is some old repairs done over the years
but it is a Project truck if you want to restore it, if you want
It just to go on trails and wheeling, it needs very little.

There you have it, probably The BEST represented JEEPS on Ebay.
 
Shows you all the good as well as any bad, hope you appreciate them.
We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows.
People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale
and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, it still beats
paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end.
Having as much as the original steel on a restored car these days
speaks volumes. 

Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what sort
of surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating.
People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are
fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers. 

Our auctions have NOTHING to hide .
Restore a car like this yourself or locally and you know
exactly what you have in the end.

Email us with ANY questions before you bid please
If you treat yourself to buying one of our vehicles
youll never buy a total rust bucket again from anyone !!
Our Impeccable FEEDBACK speaks for itself.
Doing restoration on this type of project is less labor
intensive which means overall cost is less too !
With less horrid surprises later on.
Dont let auctions with little to no pics try to fool you. 
With other auctions,  you really dont know what to expect
until you take the car apart. While we go over our cars ALL OVER
with great pics to help making your decision easier.
Along with ANY other questions you may have.

Or fly in and drive it home, its that reliable and clean
.

On May-28-14 at 11:45:45 PDT, seller added the following information:

The ignition or starter part is still giving me issues and works when it 

feels like it, BUT the funny thing is if I put a batter box or charger
on the battery, it will start EVERTIME when I do that. So not sure if its
still a cable, connection or old switch. Just want to put that out there before
the auction ends.

2014 Jeep Cherokee: June 2014

Wed, 09 Jul 2014

I got a text message from Editor-In-Chief Sharon Carty one afternoon proclaiming that her new favorite SUV is our long-term 2014 Jeep Cherokee. And she's not alone. I'm not sure if anyone else on staff would go so far as to use the "favorite" descriptor, but after just over a month of honeymooning with our new long-termer, it's safe to say that the Jeep is quickly finding its way into the good graces of a number of Autoblog staffers.
There's good reason for all that praise, too. Thus far, the Jeep has proven itself to be incredibly competent and comfortable for daily life - it's functional, quiet, and packed with a host of amenities that make it easy to live with. It's been wholly trouble-free (with less than 4,000 miles on the clock as of this writing, it ought to be), but even nitpicks have been few and far between.

Airbag fault on 1M recalled Jeeps getting second look from NHTSA [UPDATE]

Mon, 02 Jun 2014

UPDATE: Here is the statement we received from Chrysler regarding NHTSA's query: "Chrysler Group LLC advised the National Highway Traffic Administration of the six reports and, in accordance with the Company's long-standing practice, is cooperating fully with the resulting investigation. Customer safety is paramount at Chrysler Group. Customers who are concerned may call 1-800-853-1403."
It appears that Jeep's repairs for nearly one million Grand Cherokees from 2002-2004 and Liberty models from 2002-2003 might not be over yet. The vehicles were first recalled in November 2012 because the front airbags could suddenly deploy without being in an accident. Now, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a recall query into them because of reports of inadvertent activation on some already corrected vehicles.
The original problem affected over 919,000 vehicles worldwide, including 744,822 in the US, and was caused by a degrading circuit in the wires that control the airbags. In some cases the airbag warning light would come on just before the premature activation, but in other cases it would just happen. The automaker installed an "in-line jumper harness with an integrated electrical filter" meant to eliminate the power spikes believed to be the cause.

7 months later, Jeep 'trailer hitch' recall still stalled

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

For the past few years, Chrysler and its CEO, Sergio Marchionne, have gone head-to-head with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and its boss, David Strickland, over the government safety agency's request for Chrysler to recall almost three-million Jeep vehicles due to what NHTSA says is a safety issue that has caused at least 51 deaths. After a three-year investigation and Chrysler's initial refusal to issue a recall because it deemed the vehicles safe and built to the day's federal requirements, last summer, the two parties compromised on a "voluntary campaign" to inspect 1.56 million vehicles, those being the 1992 to 1998 Grand Cherokee and 2002 to 2007 Liberty.
Those vehicles were designed with their gas tanks between the rear axle and the bumper, and NHTSA says that in rear-end collisions, damage to the fuel tank has caused fires responsible for those 51 deaths. The compromise reached last summer was that Chrysler would inspect 1.56 million vehicles and, "if necessary, provide an upgrade to the rear structure of the vehicle." Practically speaking, that meant Chrysler would replace aftermarket trailer hitches, but would take no action if a vehicle had a factory-installed hitch or an aftermarket hitch from Mopar.
A report in The Detroit News says the "voluntary campaign" is just now getting under way, with Chrysler saying last week that the design of the replacement part had been finalized and it was tooling up "to deliver the required volume." Seven months later, still in question is whether NHTSA will crash-test the fix engineered by Chrysler, noteworthy because not only did the vehicles in question pass every safety standard necessary to be cleared for sale at the time, there are still questions (to those of us on the outside) as to how the Jeeps at issue fare among their peers in such incidents. Either way, Chrysler and NHTSA apparently still disagree on the efficacy of the remedy itself: the carmaker says it might help in low-speed crashes but not high-speed collisions, a position the NHTSA is at odds with. All of this means the campaign doesn't yet have an end in sight.
