Compton, California (PRWEB) April 06, 2016 -- Friday, April 8, the first ever COMMANDO TACTICAL EDITION™ Jeep Wrangler built by Transamerican Auto Parts (TAP) off-road performance retailer 4 Wheel Parts, will be auctioned at the Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach Collector’s Car Auction. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the sale of this unique, street legal vehicle will benefit the Patriot Foundation, providing support to the families of airborne and special operations soldiers killed or wounded in combat.

We are grateful to Barrett-Jackson and our partners at Hendrick Dynamics for the opportunity to collaborate in the support of the Patriot Foundation.

Similar to the military version, the COMMANDO TACTICAL EDITION™ Jeep is a go anywhere, do anything military-inspired steel flat fender design built on a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon platform and one of the most capable, rugged and versatile vehicles ever created. Its extensive TMG supplied enhancements include suspension upgrades, Pro Comp performance wheel and tire combination, lighting package, Smittybilt Armor and Soft Goods Package, 9.5K wide-capacity Smittybilt winch and many other distinctive features exclusively available as a complete program through participating DSI dealerships.

Donated by Hendrick Dynamics and Transamerican Auto Parts, this Jeep also features a custom patriotic hood graphic painted by Zac Brown Customs’ Kristian Baena, Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) 2013 Rising Star Award Winner.

“It has been an honor for us to team up with Hendrick Dynamics to build this vehicle to raise money for this vital cause,” said Transamerican Auto Parts President and CEO, Greg Adler. “Tactical Jeeps have been an important part of our nation’s military history and the COMMANDO TACTICAL EDITION™ continues this great tradition. We are grateful to Barrett-Jackson and our partners at Hendrick Dynamics for the opportunity to collaborate in the support of the Patriot Foundation.”    

Inspired by the original Hendrick COMMANDO™ tactical vehicle, the COMMANDO TACTICAL EDITION™ Jeep is a collaboration between Transamerican Auto Parts subsidiaries Dealer Services International (DSI), 4 Wheel Parts and Transamerican Manufacturing Group (TMG) and Hendrick Dynamics. Together they premiered this spectacular vehicle at the 2015 Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah featuring aggressive design, style and versatile up-fit technology; including an exact replication of the authentic COMMANDO™ Tan™ exterior color.

The original Hendrick COMMANDO™ is a tactical vehicle that provides the military with a versatile mobility platform capable of operating across a wide range of missions and terrains, and was initially fielded overseas for evaluation purposes in support of a special operations science and technology initiative. Historically, the Hendrick COMMANDO™ was the first Jeep utilized in U.S. combat operations since Operation Just Cause in 1989.
