      Think of it like this, what great content it would be to have this thing break down every other week??? You would watch that. Admit it. It would be hilarious. Seriously though, it's our 5th vehicle. If it's unreliable, I won't drive it and sell to some Mopar fanboy. I think it's going to be ok, though. There isn't anything I can't fix and who doesn't love a challenge?? 🤷🏻

Extremely reliable and as durable as a bull. Thank you for your excellent reviews. Mine are all stock with no modifications. But one the black plastic panel below the chrome external side panel is loose, I want to replace it, I cannot seem to find one, what do you call it if anyone knows it? I love these and I am looking for another with maximum 90 000km. These are beasts!!!

    I have a 2007 with about 180k miles on it. I have owned it for the last six years and the only thing I have done is replace a vacuum line. It does have its hang ups it flips the windshield wiper once when I start or switch it off but I just live with it. I guess I consider it a good service record. It just seems to work for me and now that I am disabled it works well. When I bought it I couldn’t decide which V-8 I wanted then I decided on the 4.7 for ease of maintenance and I was happy with it. It is not the most luxurious model but it does okay.

Hopefully I can get all the bugs out off it. I dropped another $729.00 on it second week for New 160 alternator, New 1000 CCA Diehard, belt, Fram filters and thermostat. Installed by me and Utube. Not bad for a salesman. 😄

      It's ugly looking. At best it's just awkward looking. The idea behind the design of this car work, but the execution is poor. The bumpers sick out far. The hood line is designed wrong.

    I gotta admit, would have preferred that you’d gotten a Sequoia and put a Gen 3 tundra front clip on it.
    From my experience working it a transmission shop (20 years ago) Chrysler has the worst American transmissions! I recommend eliminating the trans cooler from the radiator. Get a beefy external cooler.
    If one of your trans cooler lines has a compression fitting? Put a cutoff wheel on your dremel, make 2 cuts…the length of the compression fitting, 180 degrees apart from each other and peel it open. There’s usually a spring loaded check ball in there that eventually sticks. When that happens the trans hits 1000+ degrees and burns up.
    Now the cooler lines aren’t high pressure, so you can use basic fuel line and hose clamps.

    • @ExtremeDailyDrivers
      @ExtremeDailyDrivers  2 года назад +1

      I agree. Mine is still going strong and the fact that these share the exact same 4-wheel drive system as the new Grand Wagoneer (Quadra-Drive II) just shows you how advanced and capable the Commanders are. They are rad, just no one knows it yet.

    • @jessekuchinski1172
      @jessekuchinski1172 10 месяцев назад +1

      @ExtremeDailyDrivers yeah and they're square not shaped like a bar of soap. If Jeep really wanted to save the cherokee, they need to make that sob square again and throw in that new inline 6. It's a turbo which kinda stinks but might be an absolute blast too..and make a 5 speed manual standard

    • @jessekuchinski1172
      @jessekuchinski1172 10 месяцев назад +1

    Congratulations Brandon, I am a bit surprised but surprises are usually good. I gotta say that for a brief moment I thought you were gonna say that you had bought your mom's Buick! Funny thing that the ideas you have for this build are damn near the same I have for a Subaru forester. I myself am thinking on going with maybe a three inch lift with some 16's and some fat tires to give it a stout stocky aggressive look. I was driving a Chevy Avalanche with a four inch lift and was hitting 80 without even noticing so I know what you mean about low rpm's. Well I gotta say I'm really looking forward to seeing where you go with this street legal tank and perhaps XDD will have a camping channel spinoff, F it why not! Ohh and I do apologize for the "first" comment but you know...

      Any comment is a good comment, even if it just says "first". Comments and likes help drive the videos and as a result get more views. I was considering a Forester! I was considering a lot of cars, but I had a certain budget I didn't want to go over. I think I got the most bang for my buck, but we'll see. You should totally lift that Forester. That would be awesome. I've done some camping stuff on the channel back when I had my old motorcycle and one of the videos did really well. I look forward to going back into the woods again.

    I got a 06 Jeep commander with the 3.7. 110,000 miles and I get 16.5 mile to the gallon around town and 20 on the high way. Doesn’t leak or burn oil or anything else. Easy to work on for the most part. A tank for sure but here in Chicago when winter hits the commander has no problem on the road. I have had it for 10 years and hasn’t been a money pit at all.

    Do you recommend buying a Jeep Commander 2007 Limited at around 100k miles? I'd love to get one but I'm worried about upcoming issues and spending more money on maintenance than the actual car

    • @ExtremeDailyDrivers
      @ExtremeDailyDrivers  2 года назад +3

      It depends on a lot of things. The most important is the condition of the car. How does it look, how does it drive, how does it sound? When shopping for a used car, the LAST thing that matters is the mileage. Used car dealers have drilled into our heads that it is the MOST important factor, much like how General Mills and Post Cereals have been telling you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day...it's not. When buying used, I always focus on the interior of the car, that's where I start. If it's in good shape, chances are the car is worth considering. If the interior is crap, the car will be too. If the previous owners didn't care for the one area they spend the most time in, they aren't going to take care of the areas they don't spend time in (exterior and engine). As far as the Commander goes, mine has 186k and has not had a major issue. Maybe the one your are considering can last just as long or longer. Buying used is always risky, but do your research, and you should be ok. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Good luck.

      Thank you! I was planning on starting with the Bilstein 5100's to level out the front end and some much needed dampening and then go from there with a lift if needed, but I'm hoping I'll be happy with just leveling it out. I had the same shocks on my old Tacoma and I also added a 3 inch lift. I always kind of felt the lift ruined the truck a little bit. I had to get adjustable upper control arms to get within alignment specs and even then it wasn't the same. I'm going to try to not make the same mistake. Thanks for watching!

      First note. It doesn't have 3 locking differentials. It has 2 electronically limited slip differentials, one front, one rear, and a transfer case in the middle behind the gearbox, that allows you to go into "4wd LO". The differentials engage automatically when grip is lost on either of the wheels. Allowing for 100% of the power to go to a single wheel.

      Thanks for replies, Ted! I am also looking to level out the Cobra Commander. I hoping I don't want/need a 3inch or more lift. I put a 3" lift on my Tacoma and kinda regretted it. One of the companies I have worked with before reached out and asked if I needed a new headunit. I of course said, "Yes!!" So that video will probably be one of the first videos I do. Also, one of the previous owners ditched the factory Boston Acoustic speakers for some aftermarket Kicker speakers. The passenger speaker is blown. So I'm going to go to the junkyard and grab me a new/old set. I'm driving this rig everyday and loving it. Thanks for subbing and thanks for watching.
