    Yup... this is my DD too.

    And guess what, with just a 2" lift and some skid plates- you'll be amazed at where these things can go!!

    I was already impressed with my wife's XK in the snow. It was amusing going over Donner Pass and watching them stop everyone and make them chain up EXCEPT us. We got waved through. About a mile down the road watched a F-250 spin and plow into a snow bank...speed isn't always your friend. We just crawled over the pass at about 20MPH with no issues.

    I'm thinking 2" lift and skid plates would be plenty for anything I'm likely to throw at it. A roof rack with a snow board holder for kite board and gear is in the near future though. CBs will be going in both for the next move, but I have to make sure that hers is very discrete, like the cobra model that is nearly all contained in the mic part.

    The more videos I see of the commander the more I'm impressed with them. I have to say this sort of quietly but I have to admit my wife had a great idea when she bought her XK. It just took me a couple years to realize it. :-P

    2" lift some aggressive looking tires and you won't recognize it. But be careful once you start modding you probably won't stop
