Nice, but rather have my XK

The wheelbase looks WAY long. Break over angle would be terrible.

It's got a snorkel. Like I said if it was about a foot higher off the ground I'd drive it!

lol putting a snorkel on?

That SEMA jeep is pretty badass though...

We seen a girl with a 4 door wrangler at RC who supposedly had $70,000+ in it; it was pretty awesome I must say.

I met the builder of the SixPak Monday at SEMA, It was another project with AEV and NOT Jeep, There are currently no plans to make it a production vehicle but they will make them as a custom vehicle if there is a large enough order.

Put a 5.7L in it and it has potential. What's its wheel base compared to an XK? Probably a bit more, but with WAY more capability for lift/gears.

Going snorkeling in NJ/NYC area??

Did anyone buy the snorkel that was for sale??

Not sure but I doubt Andrew did. He doesn't like the look of the snorkel on the XK.

Matt

11-01-2012, 06:07 PM

Only reason i didn't buy it was because i dont even want to be tempted to go in deep water! lol i've done enough of that crap with my explorer and silverado.... i'll stick to "trails" now...its much easer to clean shattered rock off skid plates :p

The wheelbase of the Commander is 109.5 inches and the wheelbase of a stock JK Unlimited is 116.0 so it's definitely significantly more than the Commander.

Didn't realize the JKU was longer. Wonder how much they added for that 6 seater....Hell my crew cab sierra was 143..

Adam is right Im not the biggest fan of the snorkel on my color XK, think it looks great on Adams, i have something else in mind that Im trying to develop, we will see. Not sure if my idea will play out like I have in mind but seem relatively cheap and somewhat simple...

The guy I talked to told be they added the center and had to make the doors themselves, they then extended the back to get the three rows of seating. Row one and two are both front row seats.

Keep the custom built frame, and just do this...

Teraflex makes the brackets to put a third row seat in. You are on your own to figure out seat belts though. No idea how the DOT would feel about adding the seat and seat belts and the jeep certainly hasn't passed any safety tests with the third row. There is no roll bar protection designed for the third row. If Jeep made a JK with a third row I would buy it for sure. I bought my JK because it finally worked with my family and now I added the XK because the family is bigger. It would be nice if jeep offered the wrangler with a v8 or diesel option. Not sure why they don't want to. I think the 4.7 would be great in the jk.

I love my XK, aka the Hummer Recovery Vehicle. Can't wait until the end of the month when the snow hits.
