Since it is the weekend. I figured I’d take it easy and toss up a couple more videos. These are both recreational 4wheeling pictures featuring Jeepsters and Commandos.
Some of you may know that I am in the (entirely too slow) process of building a 71 Kaiser Jeepster Commando. It will be seriously modified from anything even resembling stock. Specs (subject to change):
- 71 Kaiser Jeepster Commando
- 92 Jeep YJ front clip
- 92 Jeep 4.0HO engine
- Dodge NV4500 5 speed with GM 6.34:1 first gear
- Jeep NP231 T-case converted with a Mad Rooster kit to aux underdrive
- STaK flipped Dana 300 T-case with 4:1 low range
- Front and rear Dana 60 axles with 5.36 gears and Eaton E-lockers
- Custom built frame
- 4 link coil suspension front and rear
- TSL 38.5×12.50 16.5s on Hummer double beadlock wheels.
I’m kicking around an adjustable air suspension idea as well. It would still allow the coils, but I would be able to raise or lower the vehicle from the cab. However, if I lost the air system, the vehicle would still be driveable.
It will have a full cage, and seating for 4. All seating positions will have full 4 or 5 point harnesses for off-road use. Of course, it will have A/C, and other comfort features… although, the goal is to leave the top off and just run a custom bikini top as much as possible.
If there are any equipment sponsors that want to have me test their gear… you know where to find me. 🙂
