1973 Jeep Commando on 2040-cars
Johnson City, Tennessee, United States
|
This is a really nice jeep. I got it from a friend in Georgia who had it siting in a barn. I went through it mechanically and shot it flat black to prevent rust. I did not fix any of the little dents or dings but I did replace some metal in the floors and replaced the tailgate because of rust. There is still a little rust in the bottom of the rocker panels (see pictures), beyond that it is rust free. I built it to goof off in and have very much enjoyed it over the past few years but now it spends most of it's time in my barn only getting driven 3 or 4 times a year so I have decided to sell it, clearing some space in the barn and letting someone else enjoy the Jeep. I have replaced all the brakes including hard lines and master cylinder, new tires, radiator, water pump, gas tank, carburetor, HEI distributor, front seats, custom made bumpers, new tailgate and roll bar with new three point seat belts. It has 2" lift springs from Hell Creek along with new shocks and stainless steel brake lines. When driven regularly, the jeep starts easily and runs very well. At temperature (after being driven for a while) the engine temperature is at a constant 180 degrees and the oil pressure is at 20 lbs at idle and 55 lbs when driving. The transmission is the TH400 automatic and it shifts smooth and works as it should. The transfer case is the old gear driven type, Dana 20 I think, and the 4wd works as it should. The jeep has power steering (the steering unit leaks a little) and power brakes. The odometer reads 60,522. I have no way of knowing if it is actual or not. What the jeep does not have is a hard top. I have the back hatch to the hard top but no hard top, only a bikini top. Terms for this auction: The buyer is responsible for shipping, I will be as helpful as I can in working with your shipper but arranging and paying for shipping is the buyer's responsibility. Please do not bid if you do not have the money in hand to buy. I will not go back and forth with someone's back to help with financing. A $500 deposit via pay pal will be due within 24 hours of the auction's close. The remaining balance will be due in CASH within two weeks of the auction's close and the jeep will need to be picked up within that time as well. Any other arrangements or types of payment will have to be worked out before you bid. Any type of bank check would have to clear my bank before the jeep is released to your shipper. If when you come to get the Jeep you believe I have misrepresented something I will refund $400 of your deposit via pay pal. I reserve the option to cancel bids from folks with negative or zero feedback. |

Lexus gets top brand marks from Consumer Reports; Ford, Jeep hit hard
Tue, 25 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has released its 2014 Car Brand Report Cards, with Lexus again reigning at the top and doing so with the same industry-topping score of 79 that it registered in last year's Report Cards. This year, the institute credited its lineup for being "usually quiet, comfortable, and fuel-efficient," noting it's the only brand on the list "to achieve an excellent average overall reliability score." The Car Brand Report Cars list is meant to rank the best all-around vehicles based on CR testing and reliability results tallied by subscribers it surveyed. Each brand included must have sufficient test and reliability data for at least three models, a standard which left out 11 marques including Fiat, Jaguar, Land Rover and Porsche.
This 2014 Brand Report Cars edition is the first of a new format in which sub-brands have been broken out from their parent brands, with Acura using this year to move up the leaderboard into second place with a score of 75 for its "reliable, well-finished and somewhat sporty models." The top three was rounded out by Audi, climbing from eighth to third by scoring a 74 for "well-crafted interiors, nice handling and good gas mileage." Audi scored highest in the road-test portion, its improved reliability aiding its rise. The top nine was completed by Subaru, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz.
Ford and Jeep weighed in at the other end of the rankings, Jeep taking the lowest overall score in the road tests and hampered by "a mix of spotty reliability." Ford was sunk by reliability issues with its MyFord Touch infotainment system which consumers found troublesome enough to negate its cars earning "solid test scores" for being "very nice to drive." Perhaps the rumored switch from Microsoft to Blackberry's QNX for the next generation SYNC will help them out. Cadillac's score also took a hit for infotainment reasons after it was the leading US brand last year, the CUE system in the XTS dragging Cadillac to the bottom of all General Motors brands.
2013 AEV Brute Double Cab
Fri, 11 Jan 2013These are the guys who bring an M777 howitzer to a knife fight. In terms of overall rugged utility, the all-new 2013 Brute Double Cab from American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) is about as overkill as they come, and we can't seem to get enough of the beasts that this company produces. Unlike most aftermarket firms, always striving to lower cost and increase volume (but at the expense of quality), Michigan-based AEV takes pride in its OEM-quality design, engineering, manufacturing and testing. Everything is as good, or better, than the stuff from the factory, and they have been doing it this way for more than 15 years.
Launched at the recent 2012 SEMA show was the 2013 AEV Brute Double Cab. Its debut marked the company's expansion to a four-door Brute on the newer JK platform (drawing inspiration from the Land Rover Defender 130). I recently spent a few hours with the new truck in sunny Southern California, though unfortunately, due to time constraints, I was limited to pavement-only driving impressions.

2015 Jeep Renegade leaks out ahead of Geneva debut
Mon, 03 Mar 2014Meet the Renegade - Jeep's new baby crossover that's set to debut at the Geneva Motor Show this week. The folks at Jalopnik got their hands on a small batch of photos of the new little cutie, showing what appears to be a Trailhawk (read: trail-rated) version, as well as a more civilian-spec Renegade, complete with a new removable roof system, reportedly called My Sky.
Details are slim, though in addition to the exterior images, one photo of the interior has also been leaked, showing what appears to be a small, yet functional (and nicely appointed) cabin. Early reports suggested that the new small Jeep would be based on the Fiat 500L platform, though Jalopnik rightly points out that the Renegade looks an awful lot like the Panda 4x4. Regardless, there's still likely some 500L bones under there, and we'll know more once the official details are revealed in the very near future.
Head over to Jalopnik for more shots of the cute little Renegade, and stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
