I was discussing this the other day with someone. I know the Commander is pretty much junk, but this looks so damn good. I see about 10 PT Cruisers a day with wood applique, would much rather see this.

I don't think the design is flawless, the cut in the front behind the headlights is lame, should have just run the plastic up to the headlights or to the panel edge, and the lower door panels just don't look right, but overall the concept is solid.

I've seen a few of those actually. They make me barf.

Would be vastly improved by not having chrome wheels.

It's not a Grand Wagoneer

no, nor is it a wagoneer. It could have been though, and maybe that is what I am sad about

Replace the vinyl with thin wood panels and then we're talking.

it would probably be cheaper to do that. Last time I checked a 3M kit to redo your wagoneer is over a grand

Because it would look horrendous.

And you shut your whore mouth we love our Commander.

Why the Commander hate? They are even available with a V8 and true 4x4.

They can very easily be turned into solid/great offroaders:

I know, but the years they were made were totally not the most awesome years for Jeep electrical systems. I do like them though, and I think it is an improvement! SO THERE! :)

better than the Jeep Wranglers from a few years newer than our Commander that were pulling a Ferrari and randomly catching on fire lol.

I don't know of any Commander's lighting up like that. And don't forget they're basically a long wheel base Grand Cherokee. All Suspension upgrades you could put on the GC bolt right onto the Commander.

What's wrong with it? Ours is an 08 which should be the same overall platform.

Is it electrical?

What engine? What drive system?
