Smile skid plates

Hi Im new to this site I have a 65th aniversary model and yes the do come with skid plates. Ive had my crd for about five months now and love it.
I changed the tyres to cooper st and got the aussie tow bar put on it by my dealer. I live in Tom price wa so i needed the coopers up here as I do a fair bit of offroad driving.
you will love your 65th model and it handles the dirt really good.
the cooper tyres lift the commander up a bit so you get better ground clearance make sure you insure it well as a new windscreen is 2600 dollars unfitted. i had to replace the windscreen and drivers side window after a rodtrain showered me in rocks. luckily I was insured.
last trip to perth i was getting around 650 to 700 kims a tank.
when i first got it I did give it some stick to wear it in.
I always carry two spares one in the back when going offroad up here.
enjoy your commander.
