I have a 60/40 bench seat and matching rear out of a 73 Jeep Commando that I won't be using. The front seat would need some recovering but the back wouldn't.
The only thing I saw was that the engines are painted to show that they have been destroyed but they aren't excluding drivetrain parts from being sold. People have also been taking parts off of the motors. They may start the "no drivetrain parts" rule out there if that is what the feds require...
The main requirement was that the dealers had to destroy the engines before sending them off to scrap. I have seen that some dealers in some states have been crushing them but others are just destroying the engine and sending them to salvage. Some of the ones I looked at didn't have that many...
My son told me I had to get down to the picknpull because the cash for clunker cars are showing up and the were some jeeps to take parts off of. It was depressing to see some of the nice jeeps and trucks our tax dollars destroyed. I took some parts off of a really clean red 90 YJ. There was also...

Just out of curiousity, when your axle articulates what will keep your springs from coming off the axle? It looks like the top of the spring may be tied down but I don't see anything for the bottom of the springs other than the bump stops. Will you be adding limitting straps to stop it from...
Well I was planning on doing the adapter for the TBI conversion on the Commando, maybe I'll have to machine out the center holes on the TBI manifold I picked up instead. I wonder why the sensors would have issues if the adapter is built correctly ?
Here is a trial fit of the CJ front clip on the commando. It fits quite well except the fenders need to be lengthened to meet the commando lower body line. I will most likely be tubing out the fenders and will fix the issue then. I have a dana 60 for the rear of it and will be narrowing the...
The old Willys project that I picked up a few weeks back had a 97 TJ frame and drivetrain under it. The more I look at the drivetrain the more it looks like this thing had VERY low miles on it. Last night I took out the distributor to spin the oil pump to prime the engine before trying a...
