The XK-Forum

So many times I heard people say my heavily modified Commander looks like a Hummer and could not believe its a Jeep. However, I feel I did my share of impacting the Jeep world out there when I would plow over obstacles on trails that "only a Wrangler could do with lockers". LOL, I loved to see jaws drop when the XK would prove it was more than worthy to be called a trail rated Jeep.

While mine wasn't as built as your's I still never shy'd away from a challenge. I'm sure cico and Mike would atest to that. The numbers are extremely low when you consider the Commanders that do get offroaded compared to those that do not. I guess most view the Commander as an alternative to an Escalade.

And for those that may view this thread, going through deep snow on top of a paved road is not offroading. Sorry to disappoint you.

Although I do give props to the few guys on jeepcommander.com that turned their Commanders into "g" machines. They look sweet!

I am here !! I did change my username from Smitty1970. Smitty was my dad's nickname, not ever mine. I didnt like it too much and wish I could have changed it . There is only one person that ever calls me that anyway. So you guys will just have to call me Neil.

First off, Happy Father's Day to all you dads. When I was at Jeep Skool in May, I was leading a Wrangler and S-10 Blazer through the backwoods. The trails are rutted badly and most of the obstacles are tree roots from near-by trees. I made it over one such tree root conglomerate, only to high-sided on the right side by another tree root about 100 yards up the trail. The Wrangler couldn't make it past the first tree root and had to be winched out. He comes up to me, apparently amazed that I made it so much farther up the trail than he did and says, "That Commander is a beast!" I could only grin back.

Thanks for the new forum!
