My dad owns a 2007 Commander Overland, he doesn't use it alot these days but I do! I love driving it and I love JEEPs!

I have lots of mods for the JK in mind, I just hope things work out with my dealer, I just got the chassis number for the JK Sahara Unlimited 4X4 color is (Onyx Green) which is Rescue Green I guess...? I didn't know that it comes with a built in GPS and Navigation system, this made me more excited about trading it in

Wish me luck guys! If things went ok....I will also need your help on the MODS
dont take this the wrong way, a Commander is far from a Jeep.

So drive the JK for a day and make sure its what you want.

Actually I have seen a commander in action, offroading in MOAB, and I can tell you it is as much of a jeep as a wrangler is...

Don't trade it in, I never understand people that do that as you'll lose so much money on your car. There isn't such thing as a good trade in, even in good economic time. Sell it! I know it will take a few weeks, but you will get much more money for it. The autotrader works well, I have sold all my cars that way.

I didn't miss the point, you stated the commander wasn't a Jeep. A jeep is a very capable offroad vehicle, and have seen the Commander handle extreme offroad situations. I don't understand your comment about handling either??? no two models handle the same, even the Wrangler and the Unlimited handle very differently, what does the handling have anything to do with offroad capabilities or being a true Jeep... Really.

seriously?????
A Jeep is a wrangler, CJ, YJ, TJ, LJ. Not a big SUV that Jeep makes. I never said a commander could not offroad, Its still a Jeep just like a liberty is. Its just not a Jeep.

Yes, a two door and a 4 door will handle differently, But not much. Just because the kid likes how a commander drives, doesnt mean he will like a Jeep

is my point....
