Wow that looks really great now that the hard tops off! That would be fun to drive around!

Does anyone offer a soft top for the Commando? The Commandos I've always seen have all had hard tops.
Yup, this is the way these things were made to run. I honestly don't think I'll ever put a top back on her.
LOL!! I think I might have room for just one more
Ya know, once you get up here, I could use some help working on all these old Jeep :yup:
As a matter of fact, yes. The Commando's were offered as a wagon or SUV setup (hard top like we had), a convertible (soft top) and probably one of my most favorite configurations, a pick-up truck (hard top for the cab only)

The pickup truck is definitely cool! The soft top kinda reminds me of the aftermarket soft tops they sell for the K5 Blazers and Scouts. Looks like a tent on wheels, lol

I have a soft spot for trucks, you need to find that half cab!

Awesome addition to the family! I would definately fix her up like showroom stock.
I know! Other than topless, the pick-up cab is the only other way I would really run this Jeep. Here's a nice side shot of one that I found.

The Commando is kinda rare and harder to find in any kind of condition other than rusted out or total restoration ($$$). Congrats on a super cool find. Rusty now has a stablemate in the same age group!:yup:
This is the truth!! There were a couple of them for sale that we had found but both were in mint condition and the sellers wanted $20k for them. Still others we had found were total rust buckets, had no motors or were too built up (and poorly at that) missing way too many parts and the sellers still wanted $2k or more for them. What made this such a great find is that it was still bone stock with the original motor, very little to no rust and still being used as a daily driver. Best part is, we got her for only $3500! :yup:

Just realized the C101 shares the same steering gear as my FC170. I'm currently rebuilding it. (Seals, bearings)
