    Beautiful lines and perfection in that rig! I'd definitely take one just like that over my '75. I mean... they're like CJs with some extra sexy body lines in high heals!

    If I'm not mistaken, the Commando's were built on CJ6 frames and running gear.

    nickmil In mothballs.

    Frame is different from CJ-6. Mounts, humps, etc.
    ask Imadoughball if he will actually respond about his adventures putting a '6 tub on a Jeepster Commando frame.

    Certainly the outboards for the rear springs will stick out beyond the rounded rear corners of a CJ-6 body. I did not know that the profile of the frame rails is different from the CJ-6.

    That's a great looking Jeep. I'm surprised that the tires fit under the body without trimming, even with the 4" lift. Maybe there is some upward travel limiting going on.
