Commando Rock Crawler

1969 Jeep Commando Description

OK here we go. i have been building this for 4 years,while in Missouri. Yes if you follow JP Magazine, it was recently recognized on there web page. I have recently moved to colorado and am selling due to space issues. 1st. this is not a daily driver. It was built for rock crawling. It has clean title and is plated and can drive on the streets but not fast, not stable and i would strongly recommend that this is off road only. Also. It is a Rock crawler, not a mall crawler. built to withstand the elements, but it is scratched, dented and has paint issues as it is older paint. The custom welding was done by Express Auto and custom off road in St. Roberts MO. there is no warranty. as is. It does have leaks, on the axles, and the engine does smoke if sits for a time due to likely valve seals. So with that being said. Don't bid if you do not intend to buy and understand is sold as is. can be viewed in Colorado Springs by appointment. Here is the list.*Custom front 3 link suspension, Barnes kit, with top of line ends, FOA 16" remote reservoir coil overs in front 175/250 springs. *rebuilt Dana 44 front out of scout with a lunch box locker, and 4:56 gears. 5 x 5.5 bolt pattern, disc brakes, and dana 44 high steer kit with hiems steering. with Solid diff cover* Rear is a custom built leaf spring set up utilizing Rancho shocks in rear, with extended axle mounts from Barnes*Rear end in custom built Dana 60 out of a 79 f250 which was cut down to match the front width 61.5 if i remember correctly. Utilizes custom 9 inch ford outer hubs with chevy disc brakes. Rear is welded (lincoln locked) with 4:56 gears. Axle shafts are 35 spline off ebay supposed from a military set up jeep with dana 60. I have extra set of these axle shafts as they are expensive to order. i also have extra set of front axle shafts Has solid diff cover.*motor is a 1986 z28 305 TPI, with an updated MAP sensor harness set up, custom 2 to 1 3" stainless exhaust all way back. again does smoke a little if sits likely valve seals but does not effect power. *Tranny, TH400 out of mid 80's chevy with 32 spline set up. *Transfer Cases. DOUBLER 205/203 32 spline set up utilizing a Jed's doubler with a 3 stick cable shifter. Also modified the shift rods, so you have your standard 4x4 high and 2x4 high, plus 2x4 low rear, 2x4 high front, 2x4 low front, 4x4 low and 4x4 ultra low giving you a 3.96 to 1 ratio. This is the crawler speed for craziness. If you don't know what all that means, this may not be the vehicle for you. *custom fabricated mounts for all parts, engine, tranny, transfer's, and very sweet coilover mount system. SEE engine pic. *custom cage mounted to frame and body. see pics. Professionally done by Express Auto and custom offroad. *Smitty built XRC seats front with 5 pt cam lock harnesses, Rears are master crafts with 4 pt harness. Rear was custom tubbed by me to fit the seats for the safety of my kids. *22 gallon RCI fuel cell. I installed in the fuel cell the fuel pump utilizing a GM factory set up. Have spare of this also. *Winch is an Engo 9500 the one identified as best deal in Four Wheeler mag. * cd player and a brand new, blue tooth CB. *As stated above. Body has been scratched, dented, bent, banged, punched (just kidding), and even laid over on the passenger side once before the mods. It is mostly rust free with only surface rust under the rear tunnel. Much of the front tunnel is custom fit for the transfer set up. custom wiring. Brake lights are not hooked up. *custom brake set up with Ebay aftermarket booster, M/C and rods. Does hang at times and has to be pulled up by your foot, but i will be working on this so likely not an issue when/if delivered. Wheels are 15x8 custom beadlocks, with brand new Super Swamper TSL SX 36 x 12.50 x 15. i also have a spare, but different style. Tops i have hard top which has rust on top and is very rough but works. i have a bikini top and a custom made soft top i made out of a JK soft top. Probably forgot alot.
