This Commando is the recipient of a full frame-off restoration with nothing overlooked on the build. The truck is an original 1971 SC-1 model, which makes it one of 56 built in 1971. Refinished in the original orange color with gloss-white factory hardtop, it features a custom-built full-family roll cage with overhead console and speaker system painted to match the exterior. Everything on this truck is new. Exterior features include custom front bumper with top-of-the-line Warn winch system and a custom rear bumper with tire carrier, Hi-Lift jack and custom-built side rock sliders for off-road use.

It's powered by a GM 4.3-liter V6 with a 4L60E automatic transmission and a Dana 300 transfer case fitted with a low-range 4.1 LoMax gear set. The front and rear axles were replaced with Dana 44s, and both axles were up-fitted with ARB air lockers and 4.56 gears. The original leaf springs have been replaced with a brand-new set of Alcan leafs, which give the Jeep more flex and articulation when off-roading. The interior of the Jeep is beautiful and looks like a new 1971 with modern appointments and safety gear. The seat upholstery is the exact replica of the original 1971 seats and looks awesome.

The vehicle comes with a huge binder with photos of and receipts for the restoration, as well as a copy of the magazine featuring the Jeep and the amazing story of its restoration. This is a true no-expense-spared, custom-built, one-of-a-kind classic Jeep.
