I have for sale my 1969 Jeepster Commando. This is a hard to find vehicle to begin with, and finding one with as little rust as this one and with this much work done to it is nearly impossible. It is at that awkward stage where it is not finished and not a project. You can get in this rig and go wherever you need to go. The engine runs great-no smoke, funny noises, smells, or any other unwanted distractions. It steers great down the road, has lots of power, and is really fun to drive. This jeepster has the Dauntless V-6, T-14 three speed transmission, Dana 20 transfer case, A Dana 44 rear and a swapped in 1979 Dana 30 front with disc brakes. The dash is uncut and it retains all of the original switches and gauges. It appears to have been painted once the same color as original, but no body work has been done while I have owned it. There is minor rust in the rear tailgate, but it is better than 90% of them I have seen. There is rust in the drivers side rocker, but the passenger side rocker is incredibly solid. There is minor rust in the windshield frame, and I have located a few of them in the $200 range but have not purchased one yet. All of the glass is good and appears to be original. The rear hatch opens as intended and stays up. I have keys for all of the locks. I have a variety of small parts to go with the Commando. All exterior lights work as intended. Wipers work on both speeds. Heater blower works on both speeds. The dash lights and fuel gauge are not currently working. No horn-its there but not hooked up. Rear axle has a locker or posi unit in it. I don't mean to over do the list, but here is what has been done so far.

Saginaw power steering conversion-this was not an option until 71 on these vehicles, and it eliminates the undesirable Ross steering. Carburetor has been rebuilt-still needs fine tuning as it has a small dead spot when you goose it at hiway speeds. New fuel pump. New drag link and tie rod ends, with drag link set up as high steer. New rear frame and shackle bushings and new rear boomerang shackles. New exhaust with a quiet turbo muffler. New Alternator. New battery and battery cables. New clutch cable. New wheels with fair 31" BFG all terrain tires. New brake pads, shoes, hoses, lines, and wheel cylinders. New u-joints. New 4" Hell Creek springs, shocks, and u-bolts. New custom built tube front and rear bumpers. Frame was sanded and cleaned and coated with POR15 to prevent rust. Duraback bedliner material was installed on the interior floor. There is no rust through in the floorboards as evident by a creeper inspection underneath. New Grant steering wheel. Front seats have been recovered in blue velour. Aftermarket roll bar installed. New seat belts throughout-4 total. New fuel tank, fuel tank hangers and fuel gauge sending unit-has not been hooked up. New H-4 headlights. Roof rack installed on top.  Lockout hubs installed.  New dimmer switch.  Cigarrette lighter plug installed under dash for gps or cell phone charging.  Oil changed about 200 miles ago.  New fuel filter.  I'm sure I'm forgetting some small stuff, but you get the picture.  I'm no body man, and bodywork and paint is all it is lacking.

We drive this Jeep wherever we want to go. I have a clear Missouri title in my name. Jeepster will be sold as-is where-is with no warranty expressed or implied as to suitability for any particular purpose. Having said that, you will look far and wide to find a better one. There is NOTHING better than a Jeepster with the top off for summer driving. Payment terms are simple. Cash is always good, checks are OK as long as you understand they must clear before the vehicle leaves my possession. We drove it over 100 miles this past Sunday, and I would not be afraid to drive it anywhere.  The speedo is off about 10 mph due to the larger tires, s0 45 is about 55 mph.  65 or 70 is no issue.  No trades will be discussed whatsoever.  Please do not waste my time or yours.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recalls nearly 750k vehicles in two campaigns

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is recalling a total of 747,817 vehicles in the US in two separate campaigns recently added to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration database.
The first one covers about 434,581 units of the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Challenger, Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee from the 2011-2014 model years with electric hydraulic power steering, the 3.6-liter V6 engine and a 160 amp alternator, according to FCA. In the affected vehicles, it's possible for the alternator to fail without warning and possibly cause the car to stall. According to the documentation submitted to NHTSA, the automaker began investigating the problem in August 2014 and has found possible evidence of one crash caused by the failures but no known injuries.
Customers will begin receiving notification about the recall next month, and obviously the repairs will be done at no cost to them.

Maserati Levante crossover not Jeep based after all?

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

Maserati has been teasing its crossover project since 2011, which is when it first showed off the Kubang concept (pictured above). Still, the production version, rumored to be called the Levante, remains a complete mystery. The CUV was first rumored to borrow the platform from the Jeep Grand Cherokee, but new rumors indicate that the Italian, luxury crossover might actually take the underpinnings from the Quattroporte and Ghibli.
In a brief interview, Maserati CEO Harald Wester told CNN Money that the Levante wouldn't use Jeep's platform. Motor Trend spoke with an unnamed Maserati engineer who confirmed the rumor. Officially, the company says that no decision has been made.
We can add this to another long list of rumors about the Italian CUV. It was originally supposed to be built at Chrysler's Jefferson North assembly plant in Detroit. Then, plans were changed to build it in Italy.

Freak accident during Jeep demonstration turns fatal

Mon, 20 May 2013

A 20-year-old woman was killed in Edmonton, Canada on Satuday, reports CTV News, in a freak accident resulting from a rollover during a Jeep demonstration. As part of a fundraising enthusiast event called "Jeeps Go Topless," the driver of one Jeep Wrangler drove up and onto the top of the tire of another.
CTV reports that the owner of the topmost Jeep then switched the vehicle off, posed for pictures and then dismounted from his vehicle. His movement off of the Jeep apparently caused it to tip over, crushing a woman who was on top of an adjacent vehicle. Edmonton police are currently investigating more fully what caused the parking lot accident to occur. Scroll below to watch the CTV News video report about this tragic incident.
