Cool Commander, they look great and lifted they look even cooler

[@BuddyLe38386]

Sweet rig and nice Overland Bound badge! I am member 1096. I had a 98 SR5 4Runner, but she finally kicked the bucket after 284k miles. I've been looking for one of these but they want an ungodly amount of money for them out here...IF you can even find one. You got my sub...I'm a fan of the channel so far.

[@NeilJeanLouis]

What a beauty!!!

[@thurgrum]

Looks Sweet !!!!

[@andrewhubbard1562]

Nice rig, are you part of commander nation on Facebook? If not, it’s a pretty solid community for the xk. Hopefully I’ll see you in there!

[@l24gazo72]

Looks a beast mate where did you get the snorkel

[@jeepcommanderoverlanding7219]

Yes with the stock rims.

[@luchaDor]

Nice setup! About to start modding my '08 Commander!

[@lLeroiii]

dorelse I have an 08 commander what are you putting in it

[@johnzambrano1759]

I have a 07 overland and since I live in Houston I really want a snorkel lol. Mine is gry like yours pretty decked out.i do have the roof rack and all the accessories on it and when on the trail better to have and not need than to not have. I've even had to use the ax.

[@geoc6551]

john zambrano what size tires are you running on it?

[@johnzambrano1759]

@@geoc6551 I have takeoffs from a wrangler 265/70/17 seems to be what alot of guys have.i do have the spacers. Defanatly want 33s

[@geoc6551]

john zambrano Im running 265/70/17’s too I have, 1.5” spacers, and 17” fuel assualt with the -12 offset so I have a really wide aggressive stance. I also want 33s but Id need to upsize to the 3” lift and do trimming

[@davidvelazquez2505]

What sizes of tires you have are they 285/70/r17 or 33x12.50/17 your set up looks awesome but dont want spend alot on a super lift they are so expensive I'm going to do 3 inch or 3.5 modified lift cheaper way I think

[@ej713]

Where did you get the snorkel, if you don't mind me asking?

[@CarlosGarcia-qs2mh]

What’s your center wheel to fender lip gap? Front and rear? I wanna fit 33’s, wondering what clearance you have vs mine.

[@gieser86]

Did you need to use wheel spacers?

[@geoc6551]

Anyone know what exactly I should do to my commander to fit 33s? I am currently running a 2” leveling/lift kit with 1.5” spacers but will be switching to a 3” lift, and im not sure what exactly i have to trim off to fit 33s

[@gilbertmcnew1340]

What lift and where did you get your Snorkel?

[@jeepcommanderoverlanding7219]

Snorkel was I think from rocky roads outfitters and the lift is a super lift 4 inch. I now also have the blistine 5100 adjustable front shocks

[@user-wz4xm5xg6m]

thank you

[@ISEEORBS]

Sweet, glad you still have it. New subscriber here.

[@yerwrng]

That's a lot if work for a 33 . I have an xk daily driver I'm thinking I want a slightly wider aggressive stance. it's not for the trail I have a fully built crawler xj that rides on a trailer for that , but it seems these things cost a grip just to add very little to them ...lol... I guess I could toss a d60/14 under it and go full hydro and add an atlas then toss the old 44 tsl I had on the xj before the 42 inch stickys went on ...lol... it's almost cheaper than buying prefab superlift stuff... wow... that shit is pricey for very little.

[@aldwincaringal7742]

did you put spacers on the wheels?

[@quintayperry8684]

i want those wheels on my commander did u have to use spacers?

[@jeepcommanderoverlanding7219]

Rock road I think is where I ordered the snorkel

[@desytheartist6428]

Where did you get your snorkel for your jeep commander

[@eugeneenslow8563]

Where did you get the snorkel???

[@juanestrada8363]

Did the rims fit no rubing

[@charliepehling9014]

Sweet rig, what rock sliders are those?

[@jeepcommanderoverlanding7219]

Charlie Pehling 4xguard sliders

[@jaylanjackson6195]

What size tires are these? This thing is sweet!

[@jeepcommanderoverlanding7219]

33’s

[@armandogarza3586]

Hey man where did you get that front brush guard?

[@jeepcommanderoverlanding7219]

4xguard I used them for all the skids front and belly.

[@davecochran1986]

Did the bigger tires effect the transmission shifting? I was wondering if it needed reprogrammed for those tires. Thanks!

[@jeepcommanderoverlanding7219]

No shifting was normal I have it programmed with the flashcal but even before that I had no issues

[@davecochran1986]

Great! Thanks!!

[@jboslim]

What kind of jack do you use if you get a flat?

[@jeepcommanderoverlanding7219]

jbo slim I had a hi lift but now I just keep a small jack base ment for sand and it adds about 3 inches to the stock stand.

[@armyman6425]

Can I add a 2" to the 4"super lift with a longer control arms?

[@jeepcommanderoverlanding7219]

army man People say no I just added the 5100 adjustables at the lowest setting for the front and it gave about another 1.5inches

[@shawndenty6038]

@@jeepcommanderoverlanding7219 how has that extra 1.5 turned out so far? I'm still trying to figure if I'll be happy with 2.5 or go broke drooling over superlift 4. Do you recommend for family go to vehicle?

[@jeepcommanderoverlanding7219]

Shawn Denty I recommend it only if you plan on keeping the truck for a long time. I am the original owner with not a lot of miles and almost no issues with the truck so for me it was worth it.

[@shawndenty6038]

@@jeepcommanderoverlanding7219 cheers dude, we've had it for 4 years and the closest we will ever get to a minivan I hope! It is the LTD 5.7 2006. Almost mint, but with 3 kids, it is the highway traveler with 3 rows of seats and DVD player. We want to get overlanding with the kids and our JK as well as the XK but have heard so many mixed reviews of the commander being lifted and reducing its function as a family battle wagon. Any other suggestions or recommendations will always be welcomed. Thanks and as always keep the rubber side down.

[@ChristianWTR1]

Yes you can use the JBA UCAs for lifted XK they specifically say they work with a super lift ONLY if it is modified to 6 or 8 inches

[@vegasxventures]

You think the cost of the 4” super lift for 33” tires is justified over the 2.5” ome lifts that allow for 31” or 32” tires?

[@jeepcommanderoverlanding7219]

ArmasADVish depends on what trails you run. I had 2.5 and scrapped all the time. And with this setup I almost never hit.

[@akaredcrossbow]

Jeep Commander Overlanding what did you have to change to go from the 2.5” to 4” lift? Thank You

[@jeepcommanderoverlanding7219]

akaredcrossbow The lift relocated the front axle.

[@ChristianWTR1]

No use OME lift with the HD springs and add a 1.5 inch strut spacer to the top and jba upper control arms 1500 bucks for about 5 inches of lift compared to 2300 for 4inch super lift

[@CarlosGarcia-qs2mh]

@@jeepcommanderoverlanding7219 so you ran the 2.5 lift puck with 33’s? I currently have the 2” lift puck all around but it actually lifted the front wheel gap 4”. Idk if others got that? I wanna run 33s

[@christophermichaels8148]

How are you liking this today?

[@jeepcommanderoverlanding7219]

I still love it but I will most likely sell it in a few months now that my JL Rubicon is set up the way I want it.

[@austinward9721]

What did you do to fix the rubbing of the tires on the HVAC lines on the front right wheel well? Did you have the lines relocated?

[@jeepcommanderoverlanding7219]

Austin Ward I did not have any issues maybe because I have the wheel spacers. But when installing the superlift they tell you you need spacers of a certain amount of backspacing.

[@austinward9721]

Jeep Commander Overlanding Hhmm, ok. I have wheel spacers on mine but I still have rubbing on the plastic part of the fender well and it's hitting a setting of hoses that are behind it. I've been told they are HVAC lines.

[@akaredcrossbow]

Austin Ward yes those are hvac lines for the back seat ac and heat controls I had a coolant leak there, it was a pain!!
