    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.

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

    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

    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.

    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.
