EDC, OVERLAND, PREPAREDNESS TACTILE BOX BUILD - JEEP COMMANDER XK!!

[@themerianofamily]

Since my last comment, finishing mine. Mostly the same as yours, but had to box out a subwoofer. Have done a ton of mods all inspired by you. Thanks, again, for the inspiration!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Heck yeah! That's awesome. Some extra bass would be a nice added benefit, for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@lewisapgar163]

I think it looks just great. Dad

[@TomaszW-d2x]

Jestem wielbicielem twoich pomysłów. Mój commander musi wyglądać tak jak twój. Pozdrawiam

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Dziękuję. I dzięki za oglądanie!

[@ronthompson5702]

Well... that's on the list!!!! Fantastic idea!!! Thanks for all the great videos on the Commander!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

You bet! Thanks for watching!

[@alainmillerand2382]

Merci de France

[@XtremeCustoms]

When I built a box, on the edges of the boards I used aluminum u channel. Added rigidity and a finished off look!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

I did the same for the rear. Thanks for the comment!

[@SungwukChoi-l5s]

Looking amazing! your videos made me get a commander myself, going through stuff to make it better and I love the process.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

So glad you are enjoying them. It's such an underrated rig. I'm just having fun and hoping people like you come along for the ride. Thanks for watching.

[@grantschmidt8662]

Badass design man, love how you dont lose a lot of storage space as well

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks! I'm really happy with how it turned out. Much better than 150lbs worth of useless seats. Thanks for watching.

[@themerianofamily]

Took my 3rd row out & have been planning to do this. Obviously, it won't be as fantastic as yours. It looks sick!! Your videos have inspired me to keep improving my Commander. Another awesome job! Ty!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks! Hey, if I can do it, you can do it. I had a pretty sad set of tools for this project. I made it work, but a table saw would have probably worked a lot better. Thanks for watching.

[@larryl.3068]

Fantastic build out and great video!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@live4mac]

That turned out awesome! Those commanders have a lot of space once you remove the 3rd row seats. I've thought about doing something similar in my grand cherokee but the same space would only end up maybe 3" deep. The only thing I would do differently is split the hinged section 60/40 that way if you have cargo on top you can still open one side if needed.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

That's a great idea and I saw someone on KZbin do that to their 4runner platform AFTER I finished the design on mine. So I got that idea too late, but yeah, that's a great idea and would require more work, but would definitely add some flexibility. Thanks for watching.

[@dennisclark8766]

Great job!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks!

[@FelipeXKV8]

Amazing job!!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thank you!! And thanks for watching.

[@tomasbartl535]

Nice 👏👏👏

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks 😊

[@lewisapgar163]

Very informative and a nice carpentry job. Guess you paid a little attention when you were young. Dad

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Nope. If I did, it would have been better!

[@JC-hx6md]

Dude it came out so sick!! I did something similar on my 2nd Gen xb but no it's nothing like your fancy box. I am surprised that you did not put any lightning down there, there's light weight LED strips that would go perfectly with the setup. I'm impressed man, it looks awesome and I want one of those first aid kits, that's sick! I have some military pouches like the one's you have there but the aid kit looks cool. Good stuff man, looking forward to October when you post another vid!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Lol. Hopefully I can get one out before October! Did I mention it's hot here? Lol. As far as the lighting goes, I do have a removable led light on the hatch that I was thinking would do the trick, but I'm liking the LED strip idea. That could be cool and I probably could find some that run off batteries or are rechargeable. That's a good idea. Thanks JC!

[@Cristi4n_Ariel]

Very nice! I picked up a lot of ideas. One thing I would do differently is to split the foldable panel into two sections. That way if you have a lot of stuff on top, you can move them over to the other side without having to get them out of your car. Also, do you think the light in the back is bright enough to illuminate the panel at night? I was thinking of adding automatic lights on the cover itself. That would be another cool mod.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

That's a great idea. I thought of that after I built it. Lol. There is still room to slide things on to the deck right behind the seats, but yeah, splitting the lid would definitely help. As far as lighting, I don't remember if I mentioned it in this video, but if you watch my lighting video you'll see that I have a light mounted on the rear hatch that shines quite a bit of light when needed. Thanks for watching!

[@bobmanjarrez868]

Nice! I would like this 98% of the time but I use that rear seat from time to time, and don't want to get a minivan. I am too old to wrestle the rear seat in and out for those times.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

The kids can still sit back there. They just don't have seats. We used to do it all the time in my mom's station wagon. Thanks for watching.

[@phillipjamison6048]

Did you make a video of changing your headlights to LEDs? Hi - lo beam and the anti flicker kit installation? On the commander Love the content!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

I did a video on lighting, which includes links to everything. Thanks for watching.

[@sisforslow2198]

What's the debit/gift card for that in the center? Rad build! I love over landing diy builds.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

It's actually a casino gaming card. It covers a hole left by removing the spare tire carrier under the car. The hole left behind was plugged with a rubber grommet and I just siliconed the card over it for extra protection. Thanks for always watching!

[@bobmanjarrez868]

ha ha, using the card there maybe keep you out of the casino!@@ExtremeDailyDrivers

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

@@bobmanjarrez868 I just have to bring the Commander every time I go to the casino!

[@jamesonhartley54]

Youuuuu should post your dimensions of all the wood you cut! 😊

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

I meant to do that, but it's too late now. It's all assembled. Plus I don't want people yelling at me that my measurements are off or something like that. 😆 Thanks for watching.

[@giovaniehernandez4506]

How much do you charge to build one already everything all pre-cut

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Lol. You don't want me cutting up wood for you. I only own a jigsaw. I'm no carpenter! Thanks for watching.

[@Lucas29k]

What were the size of the boards going down the side

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

They were 8 inches wide, but need to be cut to match the slope of the the surrounding plastics. It goes from 8 inches to 6 or something like that. Make a template, like I did in the video to ensure you get it right. Thanks for watching.

[@JC-hx6md]

First!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Winner!!

[@letscheckitout1985]

All this work into a truck that was one of the biggest Duds ever built by jeep

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Yep. It's awesome.

[@scottheimler346]

great reply to someone being a dick!@@ExtremeDailyDrivers
