1970 Jeep Commando Description


1970 JEEPSTER COMMANDO Resto Mod
I rebuilt this resto mod 1970 Jeepster Commando for my wife.This was a local car and the only one in town, I used to drive byon the way to work for 13 years. and one day, my neighbor told me of a Jeepster for sale, and it turned out to be the one I hadseen all these years. So I bought it immediately.
I own a jeep restoration business specializing in WWII jeeps.I had one intention for the jeep but my wife had another idea.And she has putevery mile on this jeep. I have only driven it around the block after restoration.
I have photos of complete build for the new owner if interested. I have over 500 hours of labor. (you have to do it right for your wife,!)
These vehicles are becoming quite sought after as they are unique and retro looking, but it is still a 1970 jeep and will not drive like a JK.That being said, it has never broke down since rebuild. So if you are looking for a cool vehicle and don't mind being asked questions at thegas station, shopping, or the gym, this could be the vehicle for you.
This vehicle was completed stripped down to the bare chassis and rebuild. I fabricated new floors including bead rolling the correct floorpatterns and replacing hat channels. Both sills were replaced. Both rear wheel arches were raised 2" to give a more balanced look.All sheet metalis original, just requiring panel beating and rust replacement panels. Cowl vent removed, front indicator lights removed, now LEDs in the headlights.Original tail lights replaced with LEDs. Complete underneath painted old school sound proofing. All badging removed except for the cool Jeepster Commandobadges on the hood. JK jeep stainless mirrors fitted to doors. Stainless cj7 front and rear bumpers and hood catches. Chassis sand blasted and paintedPOR-15 black. Front and rear springs rebuilt with new Poly bushings and greased between each leaf. (no squeaking, soft ride)Body painted custom mat sand color, roof painted original white. All original glass (few stratches), limo tint on side and tail gate glass
