They dont even make commanders anymore.

As far as size. Commander has lots more interior room. And is about a half a foot longer.

 

Glad they don't make em, will probably be a good XJ replacement should the supply become scarce, that and the Libby. . .

 

So no one has anything to say about the 4 door Wranglers?

Solid axle front and rear, framed(pros and cons with that), 4 doors.

Its about as close to an XJ as one can get at this point, minus the frame which most folks wanted anyway...

 

Yea, I'd like one no doubt. But the price of one, even used, is what would keep me away for now

I've seen libbys for pretty cheap, and commanders that weren't horrible. Every 4 door wrangler I've seen on CL and car lots is at least 20k and pretty damn new.

 

What made me wanna buy my commander

 

IMHO the patriot is the closest modern jeep to the xj.

 

Yeah 4-door JKs are similar but they're even moar enormous. The notion of a safari top (I think thats what its called - literally just the roof) and half doors/doorless sounds like fun. The Pentastar sounds interesting, to be sure. I see a lot of JKs as soccer mom mobiles but I guess the same was true for the XJ.

Why do you say that? Looks?

 

Oh Geez

 

By what standards? Looks alone?

Arent they IFS?

 

All jeeps now other than Wranglers are IFS.

 

Id say other than the IFS the commander is closest to an xj. Sure the JK unlimited has 4 doors..but its still a wrangler.

 

Ahha found it. First post on this page, an XJ beside a KK: http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB...ic.php?t=29838

Front end still makes me want to barf though.

 

KK is almost identical to the XK commander....

 

Sort of, some lines are different but overall styling is similar. The KK is a lot smaller, same size as XJ but taller. Also same bolt pattern lol. I think the size difference is like Wagoneer vs Grand Wagoneer

(there's a grand waggy at the end of my street today. Fading wood and all!)

 

damn that was pretty sick haha
