The main reason I like the Commander is because of how close to the XJ it looks, just bigger and how I'd imagine the XJ would look if it got continued. Now having bought one myself, I can say there are many more reasons why I like it, the freaking thing is awesome

Bought my 2007 commander back on Halloween last year. Jeep is in almost new condition, although it came with 200k miles (exactly) already, it’s still a tank! I LOVEEE my Jeep! And mine is the Limited 4x4 4.7 .. it’s accessories are NAV/Bluetooth screen. I’m Inlove with it. Mine was $3800!!! Guess I got pretty lucky on price but as stated, came with high miles. She’s still a trooper tho! Definitely wasn’t taking over 4K for it. I’ve also did many updates to it including a new sunroof. Still have many Mods I’m wanting to do to her! She’s just beautiful. She’s everything I’ve wanted in a truck cus let’s be real, it’s not JUST a car LOL. And just the PURR when she starts up makes me Ooouuu lol. Definitely a great family car especially if you’re a single parent! 7 seater and tbh I think it’s enough room for SMALLER children. Right and they are RARE to see. Since purchasing mine, I’ve seen maybe 2 and one was exactly like mine. ALL BLACK with the pretty grey interior ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Your right, we say (fiance and i) the same thang. We don't like the cookie cutter mobiles either, I've been a jeep head since 97 and our 07 commander limited V8 Hemi with saddle Brown leather is one of the best (2012 jeep liberty arctic only 1100 made is my absolute favorite) I've ever owned. They sell them overseas now but look more like the Durango and only available in a V6 and NO offroad packages, I believe these models from the past will be sought after in 10-15 so we're restoring her to stock with some mild upgrades. Keep up the good work on your videos and your build...🔥🤘

I had an 08 v6 years ago and got rid of it. Recently got another 08 v6 commander. Good to see more and more out there. I plan on diesel swapping mine when the engine gives out. I use it mainly for snow right now so I have no need for either v8 or the diff lock. Need more aftermarket options as stated in your other video. I got mine clean. 08 with 120k miles for 8k. Keep it up. Maybe a video of aftermarket vendors people can go to for these beasts.

Hell yeah!! Congrats man!!! Happy for you brother
I really liked the video. I recently bought a 2005 WK (Grand Cherokee) which is based on the same platform as the Commander. I want to get an exhaust for it, I also got the Hemi in it. One of the biggest reasons I bought the WK with the Hemi is because they all come with the Quadra-Drive II 4x4 system which has electronic lockers for the front and rear differentials. In 2011 Jeep dropped the front electronic locker on the WK2. What lift do you have on your Commander? I put Old Man Emu HD on mine. Great video, I sub'd to you. Look forward to more of your Commander hitting the trails.

Neatest thing was most of the used ones were rich folks cars and traded in on the newest suv's. Most folks looking for Jeeps went for the used cherokees and these became invisible to the off-road seeking buyer. So dealers lowered the prices to move them off the lot.

But I did that for both sides and no issues so far. And yea mine came with a cd player but I barely use it. I usually drive with my radio on for peace and quiet haha. Any bro Merey Christmas to you and your family and if you have any more questions don’t hesitate to ask
All good points and it seems like a nice vehicle. I am not ready to trade in the b2500, and was thinking I could just put some stuff on the outside to make it a little tougher looking. Could your company install a bicycle tire on the tailgate for me? (Mountain bike) so it has the rough and ready off road look. Also I have some leftover Christmas boxes andd was thinking I could bungee it to the roof…

last August I bought a 2008 Jeep Commander Overland very similar to yours. When I bought it, it has 18" wheels on it but the tires were too big and they rubbed in the wheel well. It does have a slight lift ( I think) but they rubbed. I'm curious as to what size tires you have on yours. Great video. I also watched the "5 things I hate about my Jeep Commander" video as well. Loved it! Thank you.

I think what’s going on is that you need an offset. The wheels need to be pushed out a bit. When I first got the truck before the big lift I went to 265/75/18 but I needed spacers. So I got 1 1/4 inch spacers. It gave it a better stance as well
