Jeep Commander XK - Bumper Tuck!!

[@istvanjakab7369]

It is a great idea. Looks right. Good skills Mr!

[@MEDAFamilyFilms]

Great attempt and your rig is looking good! We wish we had lots of Commanders in our junk yards here in Australia :) as well as access to all the custom parts you get and mods you can do in US like the steel bumpers, bash plates, recovery points, etc.

[@gharmer1151]

Yeah im in perth and we have bugger all around :(

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

I hear ya, but I also wish I could go down to the Suzuki dealer and buy a new Jimny! I'll be at the junkyard in next week's' video. I'll see you there! Thanks for watching!

[@bobmanjarrez868]

I see you had 2 options, Do #3 or use a heat gun to reform the indentations to get that 1/2" to slide back. the bumper is just plastic so it can be reformed. I had a dent on my back bumper so I softened it and shaped it to almost the original shape and that was covered when I painted the bumper with Upol Raptor so only I know there was a dent there before.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

That's a good idea and maybe I should have tried that before reinstalling. Or maybe I would have melted a hole into the bumper. Lol. Anyway, next week's video is going to be from the junkyard! See you there.

[@istvanjakab7369]

Lot of effort invested! Good work Mr. !

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks!

[@themerianofamily]

Nice job! Allot of work. I also wish we had more junkyards w Commanders in Massachusetts. Keep up the great work & videos.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks! Will do!

[@CWU2006EOY]

WOW! What an aggressive mod! I would have been petrified to attempt anything like this, especially as you were blazing an unknown trail. But, I think you are being needlessly hard on yourself. I think it looks good.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks. I was hoping it would be more noticeable so that's what was disappointing to me. It almost worked. Lol. Thanks for watching.

[@Hjtrevizo]

I know im watching this late man but it looks really good!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks! Check out my latest videos to see how far the Commander has come! Thanks for watching.

[@bobmanjarrez868]

One thing good about the big ol stock bumper is it is very useful to put your knees on or even standing on while working under the hood!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

That is true! I've never had a car that I could do that with!

[@Mcbone_Inc.]

hey there!! I own a 2006 4.7 limited commander and i love it.. i have taken a lot of ideas from you channel. thanks 4 posting it.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Awesome! Glad to hear the channel is helping! Thanks for watching.

[@danielvaher]

It has been in my mind as well for long time, to move the bumper in

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Do it! Just cut an inch and a half, not 2 inches. Lol. Thanks for watching.

[@0domingfful]

Great video !

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks for the visit!

[@JC-hx6md]

..."when you get here, it looks kinda stupid" I don't know why that made me laugh so damn hard! I gotta be honest and admit that I really liked this week's vid, it reminds me of the reality of doing a build. We've all had crap moments while attempting new stuff on our toys and all is not always good and perfect. I was reminded of frustrating moments you guys had with the Miata and that's part of the build and in part why we all feel good when we get stuff right on a project. This vid reminded me of when I was a kid and my old man, brother and myself would cut up RC cars and trucks just to try something new and it was cool. I'm thinking you're going for a hammerhead look on the CC and that's sick, it looks fine from four feet away so F it, specially if you're axing the whole front end soon anyway. Keep slicing and dicing and you'll get it down and what's with Kelly video bombing, I thought she was gonna start wrenching on the tank like she would on the Miata!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

What's up, JC. I should have let Kelly take over. It probably would have turned out better! :) I loved RC cars too. Which one did you have? My first RC car was incredible. So complicated that at the time, I couldn't assemble it. It was called the Exceed. It was 4-wheel drive and had 4-wheel steering. I payed my brother to assemble it and I immediately crashed and broke it. My next car was an FX-10, one of the simplest cars ever, then a Black Foot, Lunch Box and finally a Super Hornet (I still have it). I loved RC cars. Who didn't? Anyway, next week's video will have us back at the junkyard!! See you there!

[@JC-hx6md]

@@ExtremeDailyDrivers Junkyard score coming up. My wife's cousin scored coilovers for his Evo last week and at half price because it was holiday week, lucky fk. Yeah dude I still have a Blackfoot, a Stampede, some gas powered RC 10's and boxes of miscellaneous parts and bodies in storage. Looking forward to next week, cheers everyone!

[@unforgiven101inc]

hoping you can help me I was wondering if a 2006 and a 2007 Jeep Commander body and interior parts will fit on a 2008. I appreciate your videos keep them coming thank you...

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

It should

[@themerianofamily]

Watched this again. I would like to attempt this but will only have 1 chance. Not going custom, so I'll watch the other bumper replace & take my time, measure allot b4 i cut it, if I decide to go for it. Thanks again. Be well. Tony

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Just grab another bumper from the junkyard. The junkyard near me currently has 5 Commanders. Good luck!

[@themerianofamily]

@ExtremeDailyDrivers Junkyards up here aren't as nice as in Fla. Won't let u walk around, have to pay for a part first even if it turns out not to be what u want.... ill keep searching. Ty!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

@@themerianofamily Come down here in vacation and go home with a bumper!

[@themerianofamily]

@ExtremeDailyDrivers would love to. My wife & daughter are heading down for winter break.. Alas, I'm staying home to make sure my 17yr old son & Yorkie r ok. When/if I cut the bumper I will measure a hundred times b4 I cut it. Thanks you for your reply. Going 2b -40° with the windchill in Boston 2morrow. 🥶

[@papikitong]

Wow! What is the specs of your tyres? Any lift and spaxers used? Thanks.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Check out my "Commander Gets A Lift Video".

[@PhatboyHD88]

Instead of the last mod you made to the bumper , i would have just used door seal ,you know the seal that os used to seal the doors so air and water doesnt get in,, i would have just pushed it on the bumper cover , it would have taken up the gap and looked factory and been done in 5 minutes.. i have seen that on a commander before and it looked factory 👍

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

That is a great idea. I wish I would have thought of it! It's too late now, but maybe someone else will try this and do a better job than I did. Thanks for watching.

[@Show-TimeJ]

I would eliminate that bumper and fab up a front winch bumper the size of the grill , that way it gives it a jeep wrangler look.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Way ahead of you, unfortunately I'm unable to do that, but I have an appointment with a fabricator in April and we are going to cook something cool up. Thanks for watching.

[@brandongoberdhan6335]

Great attempt bro get a junkyard bumper and do it over the way you wanted?

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks, and next weeks video will be live from the junkyard! Lol. See you there! Thanks for watching.

[@Terreldactyl]

This is a scary mod

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

It is. I'm thinking of dressing up as a cut bumper for Halloween this year. Thanks for watching!

[@JC-hx6md]

First!!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Winner!

[@bobmanjarrez868]

Nice try, but I am sure you will be putting a metal bumper on later anyway!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Not just a metal bumper, but a custom fab'd bumper. Front and rear. I have an appointment with the fabricator for April, so I have to wait until then. Thanks for watching!

[@pconpcs]

@@ExtremeDailyDrivers I'd be interested to see how the fab bumper turns out (and the price). I was disappointed I never had the chance to get a Jeep Steel bumper prior to them stopping production. Those were nice!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

@@pconpcs I'm really excited about it. The fabricator is one of the most talented I've ever seen. The only problem is he specializes in Toyotas 😬. He has a 6 month waiting list. I'm on it for the beginning of April. He's going to do front and rear bumpers and hopefully a tire swing out. I think I'm going to give him the Jeep with no direction and no budget. " Just build something cool!" I've never been a fan of the Jeep Steel or Wam bumpers. Too big and too heavy.

[@pconpcs]

@@ExtremeDailyDrivers "no direction and no budget"... music to any fab's ears!! 🤣 good luck though, and hope it turns out awesome.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

@@pconpcs I know. I'm going to ask him to film it too. I can't wait.

[@williamolar9396]

put a brush guard on it.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Nah, we can do better than that! Thanks for watching.
