Now I remember the first time I found out about the commander. It was right here on CL. Now most of you guys hated on it at first but I thought it looked pretty good. I had heard about how Chrysler had been turning things around (300c, magnum, charger...) and that in 05 Jeep got a major overhaul. I thought about now and then over the next few months. Then one day, I finally saw one on the road. I thought they looked so cool! So I went to the dealership to check it out. Turns out they have a great 4x4 system to tackle the infamous Minnesota winters, and it drove as smooth as my LS400 did. I was so impressed with the overall vehicle (and its ability to utilize it for my work) 3 days later I had one in my driveway.

Well I knew I had to mod the heck out of it. I liked the car as a whole but it needed a few things to tie it all together. Especially the number of pieces that were plastic and needed to be painted. The interior was a little boring, though it might look crappy in the picture the dash kit in person is amazing, it really really sets the car off.

So what do you guys think??

or

PS - I ****ing hate ice mountain water it tastes like a battery I was only drinking it cause it was all I had in the house and I was really thirsty.

 

Sorry dude, this thing is ugly as sin.

 

So i'll put you down for 2 thumbs up then...

 

Sorry dude... Nothing against you, but these jeeps are fugly and drive like crap.

 

i think it looks good

good job, like the woodkit

 

Not a bad truck at all - I'm glad you're having fun w/ it.

M.

 

i can't imagine how big you can go with rims on this thing.. Those 22 look like 13's.. you can probably put 26 under that thing.

 

I think it loos good actually.

 

I like the look!

 

sorry man, not likin it. not even a little.

 

i am NOT feeling that dash kit. AT ALL.



it really does look like a botched effort to mimick the g-wagon.

 

not my personal cup of tea, but hey what we think doesn't matter. If you're diggin it, thats all that matters!! Congrats on your purchase.... hope she treats you well.

How's the ride quality on those dub-2's? Planning any other mods?

 

I just threw up a little bit. But whatever floats your boat!

 

I like the exterior the dash panels though.

 

does it still ride as smooth as the LS400 with the big rims???
