    Jeep Commander as an expo vehicle?

    I had a 2007 for a few years. Traded it last month on a 2017 JKU. I do miss the extra cargo space of the Commander but wanted another Wrangler. Mine had a 2.5" lift, Rubicon Wheels,at the time of the pic it had 255/75/17 tires, later swithced to 265's.

    Tell me about the Jeep Commander

    Had a 2007. Was a great vehicle. Put a RC lift and Rubicon Wheels and Tires. Would go anywhere I wanted it to. Traded it last month for a 2017 JKU. Only problem with the Commander is lack of Aftermarket parts. If Jeep would have made it a touch bigger (to not compete with the GC) and continued...

    Thinking About A Jeep Commander Who Has One?

    I have a basket but have not installed. I usually only use the cargo carrier in the hitch. That is to carry water and the cooler. Rest can go in the cargo area for a 1 or 2 night trip. I have a 4wd Duramax Dually so I don't tow much with the Commander but a quick trip to home depot, hauling the...

    Thinking About A Jeep Commander Who Has One?

    I went from a Jeep TJ to a Tahoe Z71 to a Jeep Commander 4.7, 4WD, 3.73 gear. I installed a RC 2.5" lift, Monroe Load Leveler Rear Shocks (extra 1 inch lift), 2015 Rubicon Wheels, 255/75/17 BFG KM. Commanders are basically a Grand Cherokee with a different body. I have been very impressed with...

    Sal-XK build

    Can't wait to see the mods to the XK. I bought one in August after selling my TJ...wanted a JK but liked the room and V8 the XK offered. After some mods I am shocked how well it does off road. I think they are overlooked and under rated for an exp. vehicle...good luck

    XK or Durango?

    XK by far. I have owned many Jeeps, mostly Wranglers. Was tired of drving a Z71 Tahoe and located a 2008 loaded Commander with a 4.7. With a 2.5in lift and 245/75/17 AT tire I am impressed where this thing can go. Ride quality is good, shares most mechanicals with the 2005-2010 JGC. Very...

    E-Rated 285/75/16's too much tire for two-door JK?

    I have run 285 E range on a few Jeep 2dr....As stated the 9" is the max wheel width to keep any bead issues if you ever decide to air down. On the road keep the air around 45-55 and you should be fine. Have you thought about 255/75? As far as BFG...had them in AT and MT and always thought they...

    Pictures of "do-everything" trailers please!

    Here is mine I built out of scrap, and discount materials. Only had to buy the axle, lights and jack new. Took about 2 weeks of work. I use it around the farm, camping and to haul materials when I don't want to use my truck.

    Aluminum M416-style trailer?

    I had a aluminum trailer I used for a short time. It was a 4x6 with 16" high sides. The trailer did not pull well at all. Using a 2500lb axle it bounced all over the road empty and you had to keep some weight on the tongue to keep it from swaying. When I built mine I was torn between aluminum...

    33 x 10.50 x 15 on Expo Jeeps?

    I switched from a M/T 33x12.50 to a BFG 33x10.50 KM2. Gas mileage went up 2mpg. Acceleration and braking improved. The savings was about 38lbs total IIRC. The problem I had was hydroplanning with the 12.50's. Not a problem with the 10.50's. My vote goes to a 33x10.50 on a Jeep.
