So here is the new Jeep. So far just installed tow hooks. Need a hitch next and may attempt the Mopar remote start.https://theultimatejeep.com/images/i...cmdrside-1.jpg

Finally learned how to post pics properly too.
looking good man
Looks nice. Commanders look right at home in the snow too, don't they? :)
So what do you think by now? The XK's drive system pretty much nullifies what's on the ground doesn't it? My only irritation about driving in the snow is other drivers and their useless spinning wheels... they're IN MY WAY! :cool:
That's so true around here too. Got to load test the tow hooks the other day and pull some one out of a snow bank. The Wife slid into the ditch the other day at an intersection on black ice and just drove right out leaving another SUV and pick-up stuck there. I don't mind driving the the worst of conditions and at the posted speed too. We have added a few feet to the snow pictured, I may try to get another pic from the same angle to compare.
The hooks look nice! I would have definitely bought the Mopar version if I had the approval from my funds manager (wife).
So the XK tried to mate with a F350 the other day. Results weren't great but everyone was OK. No damage to the F350 as it was lifted and the XK met with the hitch reciever. Road conditions were crap and Buddy in the F350 cut across 3 lanes of traffic, cut off 1 other driver, and decided to turn left from the wrong lane. My wife tried to stop but still slid into him. Hopefully insurance sides with us but we will see. Buddy was a real *sshole until I showed up still in uniform, then he went a hid in his truck. So without further ado some pics.

On a better note I found a full set of skid guards with tow hooks for $100. Just have to get the XK back now.
Sorry to hear about the XK bro glad you got there to put that guy in his place I know the type. Nice find on the armor thats pretty cheap, now you have an excuse for a steel front bumper!
So the grand total for damage done is $7018. Now we wait................................
Here is what the Commander looked like as well moved to Ontario. The trailer is no longer a tent trailer but has been gutted and now carries cargo. The roof rack is built out of pieces from patio cover set. We got as good as 13mpg with this set up through the hills of Northern Ontario doing 90km/h and as low as 11 through the prairies doing 115-120km/h.

It's all back in one piece now that's good.
It looks good with 7G's worth of work in the front quarter.
Some pictures while playing in mud holes last week.

Unfortunately I dont have pics of the one they put on its side. Great day of "training". Even our wrecker got stuck........twice.

You tend to push it a lot more when you dont own it.........
