i really like them, not fond of that aftermarket bumper, but looks a lot abetter compared to stock. Too bad the gas mileage isnt as impressive, our Liberty's get the same if not better! |

I personally do not really like commanders, but I was caught by the quality of these bumpers. I would have done a few things different but thats me. We'll see what he can do for the KJ. I would get one from RL but shipping is too much. Improvise and get a custom! Josh |

my better half has been wanting a commander and i have been trying my best to talk her out of it. ill show her these pics and tell her if she makes it look like this she can get one  minus the wheels. she would never take it off road so maybe this would work for her  . i know it is better than her 05 corolla S she has now

I guess I'm in the minority but, I like it. Put sliders on it and I'll even take it wheelin' |

I really like the bumper and would love to see something for ours.... IMO this commander just looks more awkward than normal to me.... |

I don't like the bumper. The bull bar rails are too close to the Commander's grill. One small hit up high and the grill that is supposed to be protected, is damaged. They should have brought it out an inch or two more away from the grill. |

I don't know about a small hit...it looks pretty stout. it'd take a good impact to do that, and after that the bumper would probably be trashed anyhow. What's the likelihood of hitting a moose up in them thar parts? |

I would like to see you hit something that hard while wheeling to push it back to hit the grill. If you wheel that reckless and hard you should be in a beater! I would not have even put the bar on like that if i was too build it , I think it would have looked better with just the plain bumper. And yes the wheels are bling bling, which kinda ruins the whole thing but what i was intrigued about was the workmanship and the quality of the bumper(hard to find many places in canada that do good work like that for jeeps). |

Those lights on the front bumper are friggin monsters. You could get a tan standing in front of those things, or use them to melt the snow in front of you. |

i love it! if anyone saw "I Am Legend" it kinda reminds me of the roof rack with ultra violet lights.... i wish i could get some more lights wired up on my rack... i am still having trouble figuring out how to rewire/wire them. |

ya but they also got more power![/quote] I followed one (with a hemi) in Baja last summer 90 miles from San Ignacio to Guerrero Negro. In Baja I like to follow a fast leader (let him get the semis to move over and get the speeding ticket) this guy thought he would leave the little CRD in the dust, we made it to GN in about 1 hour, he was leading at between 90-95 the diesel stayed right with him, filly loaded. |
