That Commander looks freaking AWESOME dude, the wheels and specially that front bumper makes it stand out, you did an awesome job
Thanks a lot Alex and thanks for your post brother
Love checking out all your additions! I just bought a commander this week! 2010 with the Hemi. can't wait to start making it my own!
Awesome B! I’m excited for you brother. Have fun with it
Great Commander - we’ve been following your channel since late last year and then decided we should buy one :)
Haha awesome MEDA !! Thanks for your support brother!
Looks Great Omar, I drive a 2019 Black on Black Power Wagon with the 6.4 Hemi and every time I watch one of your videos, you are talking me into finding a Black on Black Hemi just like yours to add to my driveway, as a matter of fact I just might rip off your entire set up! Keep up the great work and I will keep getting brain washed into one.
Ha Marcel that is too funny! Power wagons are badass. If I had a choice of a pickup, it would be that one.
Good video thanks for info on the bumper 👍
No worries Desiree, thanks for watching!
This is so much nicer than the Ineos Grenadier! 👍
Thanks Armandinho!
Looks good! Love that rear bumper!
Thanks brother!!
Thanks brother!!
Thanks brother!!
I just bought an 2006 with a Hemi for $4000. I got it as a high tide truck for when the ocean or the Pamlico Sound overwashes the roads. Vehicles on our island rust out quickly and I wanted to keep my Expedition out of the salt water. I really like the Commander and i think i may need to get something else to keep my jeep out of the saltwater as well.
Haha so you got the Commander to save you Expedition and now you need something else to save the Commander:). Too funny. Well Melissa thank you for making me smile this morning and thanks for watching! I hope your new Commander treats you well!
Built Commander Overlands with that v8 and qt2 are really appealing as long as you don't think it will be a good daily driver.
Haha I use mine as a daily driver and I love it! It’s not quiet with good gas mileage but I know not to expect that. I also don’t have a long commute so I can definitely deal with it
Love it man! I have the same rig (2008 hemi in black as well).
Nice!!! Yea I checked your page out with the magnaflow! It sounds awesome bro
for the lights, try JB Weld gasket maker. bullet proof.
Thanks for the tip Joseph and thanks for watching!!
love it!
Thanks bro!!! I’m actually debating really hard to sell it:/. Trying to talk myself out of the thought haha
Nice thinking of getting one when my f150 lease is up next year.
Awesome steelman! Make sure you look over it well but mine hasn’t let me down at all:)
0:32 The Wrangler slinking past 👀
Ha ha calm down RA, stop getting so excited. You see those everywhere! Haha
Ha ha calm down RA, stop getting so excited. You see those everywhere! Haha
Looking real good! Maybe a roof top tent? Added a CVT Denali on my commander last year. It's big enough to sleep our family of five. Two adults and 3 kids.
Hey Stanley thanks for your post man! That does sound like an awesome tent. My only problem is that i have two big dogs.
@@OJCoz Totally get that. We just had this conversation haha. We're about to get a dog and thinking the tent annex might work for the doggo. Wish us luck!
Oh yeah that setup would be good. As long as the dog can’t find his way out. I’ll move up to a RTT eventually. Good luck… with the new puppy haha. It’s a handful!
Very nice 👍🍻
Thank you sir!
Old Man Emu (OME) has standard and heavy duty coil springs and Bilstien has struts and shocks for WK/XK. A MUCH better upgrade than any puck "lift". Hmmm, that's an interesting auxiliary fuel container option.
Your spot on Eugene i completely forgot about OME. As far as the Aux tank, I’m kinda digging it. Only seen a few people use it so i have to look more into it
Looks amazing! Love the bumpers and the tire arm... I might look into those soon.
I'm currently replacing my hemi starter motor... omg, what a project that is. I really want to have a few words with the engineer that designed the Commander's engine bay!
Have you thought about adding some auxiliary gauges, e.g., oil pressure, trans temp, oil temp, coolant temp,... ? Also, I've been looking at adding cooling vents to my hood to keep temps down in my engine bay as these hemis like to run stupid hot. I've replaced my stock 203* thermostat with a 180* which helps a ton (I live in FLA so winter temps don't give me a problem... I know this might not work well for those that live up North, but it would be easy enough to swap out in the winter if need be). Anyway, I'm just a bit paranoid about overheating the engine as it can lead to valve seat failure and ultimately engine failure which is a 6000$ repair.
Hey JK thanks for your post man! Yeah that Hemi starter sounds like a big project. Good luck. I haven’t really looked into adding all the gauges but your absolutely right, the engine does get super hot. My radiator cracked earlier this year and it was a beast to replace because of the spacing and I WAS NOT taking off my bumper haha. Since then I’ve had to keep a real close eye on it. When I replaced I did upgrade to an all aluminum radiator since the OEM has a lot of plastic parts and that was what cracked. I wish you luck brother. Our trucks are getting up there In age :)
@@OJCoz I have a BullyDog tuner for my Commander which adds options for transmission temp and coolant temp (I'd love to have oil pressure and temp). I think the Diablo might have more gauge features. I'll have to check that one out again. Also, I was reading last night that some people remove or cut the rear engine bay seal near the cowl which acts like a vent (but with no water downpour on the engine and components when it rains, which is why I haven't added those vents to the hood yet.) I'm going to give it a try and see if I notice a difference in temps.
Yeah, they're getting up there, but honestly, mine has 145k miles and looks brand new. I think I can easily get another 50 or 75k miles out of it before I start considering something else. Incidentally, my bro-inlaw's hemi 5.7 in his Ram 1500 dropped valve seats at around 230k miles after overheating. That was a 5000k+$ repair.
Have a great weekend!
Good info JK thanks brother! Have a great weekend!
Bad ass
Thanks Jay!!
Bro if u didn't know there is a transfercase modular computer under the driver side back seat to service 4x4 light comes on just a heads up
Thanks brother!
They do make a long range tank in Australia
I’ve heard that but I’ve heard it’s for the diesel version overseas. Not sure if it’s 100% true and I haven’t looked into it.

What kind of Flanders do you have? It looks so beautiful
Hi Angel thanks for your post! What are Flanders? I was thinking you meant Fenders. If you did mean fenders, those are the oem ones that come with the limited
Great video! I love these cars! I live in PA and every time I have to get my truck inspected, I need to take off my night lights. Do you have the same problem in Virginia?
No I don’t. You mean your niilights on your roof rack? I haven’t had any issues and Va is super strict on their inspections haha
And thanks for watching! I’ve got content coming on the commander!
They never said anything about the one on the roof but they always made me take off the one on the bull bar. I guess I have a prick of a mechanic! I have to find a new one! LOL!
@3520506 haha yea thats funny.
Looking Good Bro!! Are you on any of the FB commander groups?
Thanks Cmak. I appreciate that. I don’t have a fb so no im not on any of the groups:/
how did you get the battle axe and fire extinguisher in? Did you drill and bolt them in yourself? How is this done without ultimately damaging the interior too much?
What’s up brother, all I did for the axe was take the trim off, drill holes for the quick fist mounts and clipped the trim back up. It holds up great! Check out my video called “battle axe amd quick fist mount install” I made about 8 months ago and it goes into more detail.
@@OJCoz Hey, thanks for this. Apologies replying a year later! I do have a few questions but rather than spread them out in your videos, I'll keep them all here. For the first, I cannot find your video regarding the battle axe install? Can you share a link? Also for the WAM Front Bumper - I saw your review and am after the exact same for my jeep plus fog lights. Only issue I have is that WAM will not ship to the UK and so have been talking to BlueLakeOffRoad in the USA, who will. Trying to get everything to replicate yours. For the wheel arch fenders (think that's what to call them), did you cut these to shape yourself for the bumper to fit? Also can you show what armour protection you have directly under the bumper as I see some aftermarket bumpers expose the radiators underneath which would be awful if damaged. If you have an email address, I'd love for your input further.
@@KingsofSparta hey brother I would love to help. You just gave me an idea for my next short. I'll make a quick video short on how I installed the battle axe. I didn't make a video on that install, I just talked about it. Also for the front fenders, yes you will have to cut for this type of bumper... Which I was a little hesitant about but im glad I did because it gives me so much more approach angle. As far as under armor, the bumper goes back past the radiator and that's all I have. if you check out @extremedailydrivers, he put some aftermarket armor and it's not super expensive considering. Plus the fact that they make it for the Commander is amazing. my email is omarcoz@yahoo.com. ill put that short out by this Thursday 1/11!
The short showing the battle axe is out. Check it out to plan out your idea. Let me know if you have any more questions. I hope this helps!
AEV FUEL CADDY, GASOLINE - BLACK I own 2 of these cost 385.00 there are companies that make a fuel tank for spare time replacement but the real question is it worth the money if you don't really need it but jeep 5.7 is a gas hog mine with 4 inch lift and 33x12.50x18 nitto grabber not helping
Absolutely awesome Commander brother. I love the setup of your rig. Just a few suggestions for future mods:
(1) Hi-lift Jack.
(2) Extraction ramps - I've seen these used to get a trailer like your out of a tough spot.
(3) Ditch lights - there is a company called Wsay that make hood hinge mounts for the Commander. They work great and help to execute turn in low light.
Just my two cents worth. Again...great job. Keep it up.
E
Thanks for your post Will and spot on with your suggestions! I currently have no way to lift the commander high enough to change my tire if needed… High Lift Jack!!
I am in the process of thinking how i can mount my traction boards without spending stupid $ on mounts. And I’ll definitely check out Wsay!!! Thanks again!
@@OJCoz I've seen a few people use a kayak mount for extraction ramps...just an idea.
I have a bunch of unistrut. Going to try to figure something out. Probably be a video:)
I love your commander btw. Nicely done my friend
@@OJCoz Thanks...still have a ways to go. Lol
One more thing where did you purchase the backup camera since i mounted the tire rack my camera is obsolete.
Hi Linda I’m sorry for such a late response. I’m just now seeing this. I got the wolf box on Amazon. The link is in the description of the video. I hope this helps:)
Sorry to be the one to burst your bubble, but traild water container for spare tire replacement is a 6 gallon tank that can be stack 3 times equal 18 gallons but I am sure can be use for fuel cost 175.00 each there is other companies that offer a spare fuel tank that mount to a spare tire , ( Daystar Cam Can Complete Kit; Green; Petroleum
Good info James! I’ll look these other companies up! Thank you sir
Hi, I have some questions about the roof rack and led on the roof. What about wind? When You drive more than 80km/h and more.... can you hear something? I just got my Commander and last weekend because of roof racks was not possible to drive on the highway, like 100-120km/h so, my question is, when You put so many thing on your roof, what about window sound when you drive? Nice Jeep by the way!
Hi Saulius! Thanks for your post brother! Honestly yes I can hear it but I hear the exhaust and tires more. It’s a loud truck no lie. But when I built it up I knew that was going to happen and I definitely gotten used to it:). It’s not horrible. But tell you what, I’m making a camping video this weekend and on my drive I will record from the inside me driving and let you hear:)
@@OJCoz waiting for it, thank you! ;)
How long do you keep the fuel in one of those spare wheel containers?
My guess is with a bottle of stabil, 4-6 months.. good question. Thanks for your post MEDA
The only thing I see, that you might have but I just might have not seen it, is a high lift jack or a jack.
Damn Harmon you are right on the money. I do need a high lift jack!!. None of my two jacks can get the truck off the ground high enough. Good call
@@OJCoz Try Harbor Freight's high lift jacks.
I have 2006 commander, and i had it lifted, with big tires. I took off the spare and mounted the tire rack. My question is, how do you disabled the spare warning display, and is there a way to program the wheels to your speed?
Hi Linda thanks for your post. I never had any issue with a spare tire warning or never even seen such a light pop up. So I can’t answer that :/. As far as the tires, I think there is probably three options. You can take it to a mechanic to get it regeared (cost $ and not nessessary) you can buy a scan gage from Amazon (cheap, easy to mount, does the job) or do what I do and subtract 5mph from what the speedometer says and that’s the speed I’m going :) haha
@OverlandingJstCoz.
Thank you for the information. My spare tire says low pressure; I just remove the tire but the warning light still come on but i can live with it because i live my commander, just put a new engine in it last year runs like a charm. I do need to get some new tpms sensor because after driving a few miles they are not registered.
Thank you for your videos. I just ordered the water tank.
Awesome Linda! Good luck and thank you for watching!
What brand/model of Aluminum radiator did you install?
Hey Marshall sorry it took me so long to respond. I had to dig up old emails to find the part.
Sherman Parts Radiators SHE92840OE. I got it off summit racing website. I hope this helps
@@OJCoz Thanks... My radiator is original, so likely will need replaced in a year or two.
Pull power from marker lights on trailer plug and wire to Anderson plug for small battery! Trailer plug to solenoid to battery...this way cannot feed back
Done!
There is a company out of Australia that makes a spare tank for the commander.
Really?? I’ll definitely look into that! If you have a name I would appreciate that brother.
Hi - Jim from Australia here. The company that makes these fuel tanks is Long Range Automotive.
Unfortunately, it is only for the 3.0L Mercedes Benz Turbo Diesel engine - what is what the majority of Commanders we have in Australia. I’m fact I have one myself self. These tanks are auxiliary tanks of capacity of 110L or 29 US gallons if I have done my conversions right. It fits in what was the spare tyre well. You still keep the 78L or 20 US gallon main tank. Giving you a total capacity of 188L or 49 US gallons. With the kit you get two filler tubes and fuel is pumped from the auxiliary tank to the main tank. Thanks for your video. You have a awesome Jeep
Thank you Jim! I’ve looked into it and your right, only for the diesel. That’s too bad. How does your Commander do on the Australian terrain? Thanks for watching sir!
Thanks for your reply. I’m so glad I came across your channel. I have owned my Comnander CRD for about 3 years now. I bought it off an older couple who only drove around the city. So it was stock as. I have done a 2inch lift with Koni Heavy Track shocks, Dobinson springs and JBA upper control arms. Added recovery points from HK offroad and now embarking on the oinch weld mod to put bigger tyres - the biggest I can legally go is something with a 800mm diameter say a 265/70/17. Next up would be my dual battery system , long range fuel tank , wheel carriers , (thanks for letting us know about those WAM bars. I’ll have to get something like your rear bar to hold a spare tyre ,(and another one on the roof) All these are needed because over here it’s not uncommon to be 600-800 miles between fuel stops or more. Solar panels are needed to charge your battery systems , you must have satellite communications it could be weeks before you see anyone. I’ve already hit a big kangaroo and have to install a bull bar. I like the WAM you got but the type of bull bars we need over here are specifically to protect from animal strikes. (Google Boomers Bull bars Jeep Commander and you’ll see what I mean.) So much to do to set it up for safe and very remote touring. Australia is very much Toyota , Nissan country , it’s nice to throw my Commander amongst them. I had a XJ Cherokee which I did up before. Not many Commanders and parts and accessories are scarce. I’d like to thankyou for your efforts in doing up your truck , videos and sharing with the world , because it’s people like me some 15,000km away across the world who get some valuable ideas and advice. Take care and God bless.
Awesome message Jim thank you very much and absolutely my pleasure sir:)
Your spare fuel "tank"... horrible idea....lol gotta keep rotating it in fuel usage... or stale gas...
Yea I know that’s why I haven’t pulled the trigger haha.
Type of trailer you’re hauling please
Thanks for watching!! It’s an outbound trailer and the model is called the r-rex
We put a side ladder on our Commander, connected to the roof platform - check it out - you may like to add that to your setup ua-cam.com/video/lsmfKu0Y3RM/v-deo.html
Black out the grill
I’ve thought about it Pierre but I don’t like how it looks like a black hole in the front. That’s one thing I’ve noticed with ones that are all blacked out in the front
What bumper is that?!?!?!?
Hey Jason thanks for watching!! I got the bumper from wambumpers.com. They are a small company that make off-road bumpers for older cars. Check them out!
Here another spare time fuel tank ( Titan Spare Tire Auxiliary Fuel Tank Systems 4030203
2033.00 price ouch
I am picking up my 06, how much weight can that roof rack hold?
I want to say 300 but I would have to look at the rhino rack website again. 300 lbs dynamic sounds very familiar though
