Commander owners post your pics.
 

How about it Mods?? All you others get to show off your cars, what about us?

MJOC driver training. Very muddy, a great day to test that traction control. Didn't get time to play on the ramps or the sluice box but the wombat holes and dam provided plenty of challenge which the car handled beautifully.

Driver training with MJOC today - a good chance to see what the Commander will do after having a WG for 3 years. Very impressed with it, that QDII is very effective. Needs another 40-50mm clearance bu that should be solved within the fortnight.

Enjoy.

Commander
 

Yes I've got the best Jeep of all the commander CRD. but sits stock as a rock.
Is tows a 2.2 ton van like a rocket!!!
Look a the pictures

Now that I've worked out how to put pictures in, here are some of my Commander. The 1st one is it straight from the dealer (the side steps are required due to short wife), the 2nd is with bullbar and Mickey T ATZs (side steps broken off after many knocks on tracks), the last one with 2" lift (dobinsons & bilstiens) and Roo Lites. Am currenlty working on modifying JKS Super Nerfs to provide sliders and a sort of sidestep for the wife.

2 inch lift and custom side rails/steps
 

hi all , here are some recent pics of my (dads) commander after i fitted a 2 inch terraflex lift kit. i also built and fitted custom side/rock rails and colour coded them to suit the grey plastic trim.
i mentioned on another thread somewhere that i would post some pics of the actual lift kit install in progress. however , i did the install by myself in the carport out front and it was such a pain in the arse job that i forgot to take pics as i went along. sorry.
the side/rock rails were a far more pleasant job as i built them in the comfort of my shed with the radio to keep me company.
cheers .

G'day fellas!

I'm keen as mustard to find some more Commanders to put through Australian 4WD Action magazine, do you have any more photos or know where some customised Commanders are? Anything with some modified bits and custom barwork etc we'd like to take a look at..

Well, we've got 2 nice ones in the ACT Jeep Club. Ours has got 2" lift (Dobinsons springs/Rancho shocks), MT ATZs, Long range tank, roof rack with tyre carrier, Nudge Bar with Light force 240's and won best presented commander at 2006 jambo - and we pull a t-van with it.
Keith has got a new one with a custom bullbar and roolites - 2" lift (Dobinsons springs/Bilstein shocks), MT ATZs and won this years best presented commander at Jambo.

There's also a couple of nice ones in the Adelaide Jeep Club. One of which has done the simpson desert.

here is my commander. i'm a state side fellow. lots of cool commanders on here.

just installed my new bumper and tested it today. i pulled a huge broken tree out of the way of the trail. winch cable was snapping an popping. kind of scary.

always been a fan of the commander - keep the pics comin' folks!!

today i added the finishing touches to the new side rails/steps . 2.5 mm alloy checkerplate folded 90 degrees and shaped to fit . the round tube was difficult to use as a step, square edge of the folded alloy works much better.

some shots from jambo:

2008 Jambo, whos Jeep did you come up in?? LOL

Square Lights
 

Has it seen day light yet that is the red square jeep, more chat and on drive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mine's still seen more action in the week that it was on the road then your commander in 2yrs....

the wrangler is still on par with jambo entries.... 0!
and as for that garden oranment you call a caravan lol

when your commander starts getting out there (like the one below) and putting that great you-beaut 4wd system to work, then just maybe we might ease up on ya haha

Hill end
 

I do know pictures don't lie

cant cheat mate...

that second pic is a grand.... not your commander, and that 3rd pic was from when you had the ZJ lol.

the others are fine, and yeh it does get out.... (once a year)

Hi Wanderer,
Looks good, where did you get hte draw set made? It looks as if you still have the third row seats in, is that correct?

Hello keef.

Best Off Road 4x4 storage drawers. Jim has a Commander template and will customise to order...Will fit either way but third row should be removed for easy access to a fridge on a slider. When photographed I hadn't got around to removing the seats and floor mounting. I had to make my own brackets for that. He probably supplies them now

Thanks Wanderer,
We use our third row when family visit, so I was thinking of getting a fridge slide on one side instead of a draw and then maybe 2 narrower draws. I'll give them a call and see what they can do.

Just stopping in to say gidday and post a few pics.

Is that the Getlost4x4 front bar? Starting to think I'll have to get one, even with the crappy aussie dollar.

Sweet lookin' Commander. Just shows what can be done with a bit of imagination

Yes, that is the GetLost4x4 bumper and skid plate on my XK along with a Warn PowerPlant winch.

My commander
 

Hi Guys

Due to unfortunate event my blue Xj was written off (not by me never loan jeeps to siblings!!!) but had the opportunity to pick a a Commander at a very good price.

Its an 07 base model , only mods are airbags in the rear rhino roof box and rock tamers to protect the Crossover when towing.And signage for our business.

V6 turbo diesel averages 14/100 towing 1400kg.

Checkout www.dreamtimecampers.com.au for the Crossover from Vistarv
100% Australian design and manufactured.
cheers

Ian P

Ian - much congratulations on the new purchase.
Gee, I almost thought that was me towing our t-van. The crossover van is very similar at the front end.

Here's a few shots of my Brisbane Commander, she loves the BIG hill climbs and doesn't mind running on two wheels in big washouts etc. I never get a chance to take the really good shots as i'm to busy driving and shitting my self.
It's had a 2" lift at the front and 2 1/2" at the rear (OME springs & Bilstien shocks) but needs more as i've already given the muffler and petrol tank a good thumping. One day i'll go for a 4" Super Lift kit and 32" tyres.

This one never goes off road, but its definatley worth a look.....

For all those in the east, sorry, its in Perth!!

Is that one Rubicon trail rated? I don't see any stadium style seating in the interior.... looks perfect for a Simpson desert crossing... or a FNQ trip.

ah thats how u do a commander boys! lol where r the big aussie commanders like this?! i heard a rumour that they're gonna can the commander soon? is this true?

Cept the bullbar is illegal over here :mad:

Not for at least a year as the 2010MY is already in production in the US.

If they are going to bring out a 2010 Commander maybe somebody at Chrysler will get their S#!T together and make some minor changes to the front end to make it easier to fit sensible tyres. It is bloody stupid to make a 2.3 ton 4x4 that can't take a normal size tyre that is suitable for off road e.g 265 x 65 minimum upto 265 x 75. All it shows is the people who design the car have no idea about off road requirements. No wonder Toyota,Mitsubishi and just about anybody else laughs at them. Even the baby Prado and Pajero come standard with 265 x 65, let alone the Landcruiser or Patrol (285 X 75). Jeep need to sort it out or get out of the 4X4 business. There is no point in having 160Kw/500Nm when all it does is dig holes and buries itself in it's own hole because of small tyres.
Maybe someone on the forum knows a web address to send a suggestion to, also if they can change the front slightly make it a retro-fit so we can fix ours without having to buy new rims. Also if they do it the retro fit it will be legal and comply with Aust standards. If ever there was an oppurtunity to fix a stuff up this is it lets get onto it.
Anyway I think everyone knows my thoughts now.:wall:

That's why I'm running the MT ATZs and not the ATRs.....

Hi Wanderer. Great to hear the trip went well (apart from the tyres). I was talking to Henry at Procomp and he can get me the replacement rims. But I am thinking of just trying to fit the 265 X 65 to the standard rim, then check the clearance, maybe cut off the bolt end and cut a slot. It is just so frustrating having the basics for a great all round 4 x 4 and the manufacturer stuffing it up because of not listening to the customer. When I bought the Discovery in 1994, I recieved a questionaire 12 months later asking if I had any sugestions for improvements, funnily enough I sent a couple and it was incorperated in the nexr model.
Anyway I will probably be changing back to Land Rover, I don't see the point in spending thousands of dollars to fix up manufacturers stuff ups, which is a shame because that Merc engine is a jem its a unfortunate the suspension/tyre combination is set up for 90% on road. For a tow vehicle people will probably look at the new Ford Territory with the Land Rover 2.7 diesel in front of the Commander.:(

Well , Love my Commander as a family 4x4. And for towing with a 2.2 ton van. I Think you need a JK or TJ jeep for real 4 wheeling. But the Commander will cover most 4x4 Tracks. I will be geting Cooper ST 245/70/17 next time. Yes Iv'e had them befor and they were good for all Driving

The new 2010 Grand will have 245/70 R17 and 265/60 R18 and 265/50 R20 This will help you Wanderer.
