For sale is a 1972 Jeepster Commando. I bought this Jeep from the family of deceased man here in town. The man that owned it bought it for the sole purpose of pulling it behind his camper when he went camping. The Commando was only used for vacations, and was parked in a carport the rest of the time. The man lost his health and was unable to go camping any longer. The Commando just sat at that point. The last time it was tagged was 2007. It was just sitting after that. I bought it a few weeks ago, and put a battery in it and it fired right up. The belt that runs the alternator and water pump broke, so I had it replaced. Other than that, this Commando is in the same condition as when I bought it. The Commando has been painted at some point in time, and still looks pretty good. The Commando is all original except the paint. There was also a new exhaust system ran at some point. Other than that, this Commando is ORIGINAL. It has ORIGINAL 55k miles on it. It has a nice set of tires, which seem to be in good shape. The Commando runs nice and quiet and very smooth. I can not believe how great it does run. The seats have some tears, the headliner is sagging, but other than that there's not too much wrong with it. It has a 304 V8 with auto trans, and 4x4. It has the factory A/C that still works. I have been researching these Commandos, and A/C seems to be a rare find. The only reason I bought it was that my wife thought it was "cute". I really would just like to sell it and get it out of the way. I have too many other vehicles in the driveway. If you want to know any more info, or want to see more pics, please feel free to call/text me at 704 813 3787, or email me davisjr01@gmail.com. You really have to see this Jeep in person to appreciate it. I also have the original owner's manual, repair guide, and some paperwork the family gave me for the Jeep.

Jeep lays out 5-year plan, including rebirth of Grand Wagoneer and new C-segment offering
Tue, 06 May 2014Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Machionne presented a five-year plan for the company brands this morning, with Jeep first up on a long day of presentation. Jeep's head honcho Michael Manley wasted no time in laying out what the foreseeable future will look like for what he calls the "lead global brand" of the company.
Big goals for the next half-decade will include expanding the lineup from five nameplates built in one country, to six nameplates build in six countries. That expansion of models will include both a three-row competitor, and, of course, a small vehicle to slot below Cherokee. The company is also seeking to add a whopping 1,300 dealers over the next few years, to sell all this new metal, and has an aggressive goal of doubling Jeep sales by the time 2018 rolls around.
As expected, that first salvo from the off-road brand will be the debut of the much ballyhooed Renegade small crossover in the third quarter of this year. Jeep has already designated that Renegade will get refreshed for the 2017 model year, as well.
Why Mopar won't release a factory lift kit for the new Jeep Cherokee
Thu, 24 Apr 2014The Jeep Cherokee Dakar concept showed off at the 2014 Easter Jeep Safari made a lot of online friends, even the Cherokee naysayers assenting that there's a monster Jeep underneath the Cherokee's skin if you're willing to go in and get it. But after reading Road & Track's write-up of what went into creating the Dakar, particularly its lift, you'll understand why you'll probably never see the components for it in the Jeep Performance Parts catalog.
The concept's press release mentions a "prototype Jeep Performance Parts lift kit, and additional suspension modifications." The short-story explanation is that the front struts on the standard Cherokee weren't engineered to accept any amount of lift, so the long story begins with the phrase, "an entirely new suspension." Head over to RT to read the details, and don't be afraid to ogle the Cherokee Dakar gallery and another awesome Jeep fancy that won't likely crawl over the hurdles imposed by production reality.
25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.
