[FRANK.A]

[B]Hi Im Frank from tom price in western australia I have a jeep cherokee sport 96 model 4 litre petrol and a new jeep commander crd which I have owned for about five months love them both.
I work in the mine up here driving 240 ton komatsu 830e dump trucks.
Been here for 25 years so love going offroad in the old days had no choice.

just fitted cooper sure trak tyres to the commander and got stt tyres on the sport, both seem to handle the rocky conditions well.
love the crd 0-100 in 9 seconds lol.
only one in town at the moment so its getting a lot of people looking at it.
the crd is a 65th aniversary model bought at chellingworth motors in perth as was the 96 sport.
glad to see an aussie jeep site was on the american one and it also the same as this site.
How do you post pictures on here???? hope its easier than the american site.
merry xmas and happy new year to you all. feel free to drop in if you are up this way.

G'day and welcome mate,
Hopefully I will be looking into Commanders in about 5 years! just can't stretch the budget that far at this point. so I have done my XJ as a "mini Me Commander" haha
hope you enjoy the forum.
Cheers

240 ton!! How many gallons to the mile does that get!! At least you'd be accustomed to the XJ's economy then

we use 4000 ;itres every 24 hours, my old jeep is not too bad on fuel but the crd comander is fantastic on fuel im getting around 700 kms per tank at the moment on the long runs,love to see a pic of the xj mini comander
