08' Jeep Commander, Marjeep

[Gotowork]

Bought this rig aprox. 6 months ago. It's an 08' Jeep Commander, Sport pkg. 3.7 L V6, full time 4x4 w/ quadra track I.
Have built a custom drawer storage system for the back cargo space. In the process of building a custom cargo rack. Installed a cold air intake filter by AEM. This was done to make room for a second battery system. Built a battery tray so far.

 

[Gotowork]

Mods planned so far:
2nd battery
solar panel on top to power the system and keep it charged.
cargo rack w/ side LED lights.
shovel and High lift jack attached to cargo rack
steel front bumper
pressurized water tank

Nice work! I have a 2008 as well!

Great to see there are other Commanders on here as well. I think the Jeep Commander is a perfect platform for overloading. I call it the poor mans Land Rover. :)

Yep, there are a few of us! I love mine, wish I had maybe gotten the better QDII system, but I wanted the 4.7L more than the QDII, so I have the QTII. At some point, I'd like to add an ARB rear locker which would really get me almost there.

The crutches being repurposed as table legs is awesome.

The legs are actually from a telescope tripod.

I really like the draw system is there a chance you can send me the plans and what materials you used on it

I didn't make any plans. I just kind of see it in my mind. And make it up as I go. Most of it is 3/4" plywood. I'd gladly take any measurements you may need. Can also post some detailed photos if you'd like.

Yes please

Yes please

Will be getting some shots of the drawer system soon.
Getting close to finishing the cargo rack. Just got all the welding done. In the process of cleaning up the welds and getting some primer on currently.

No Sunroof? Lucky. I really want a roof rack that goes fully front to back...so I'll end up having to adapt something. Nice work!

 

[Gotowork]

Thanks. Sunroofs ARE nice. But, I try to keep it simple. And not crazy about dealing with potential roof leaks. Which seems to be an issue with Jeep Commanders.

I never use them...mine stay closed and the visor shut. Yep, especially nice to not have on a Commander given how often they leak.

Is that a common problem? We use the sunroof on our Commander as often as the weather here allows and have yet to run into a leaking problem. Maybe we are just lucky.

Seems to be...but it all depends...mine is garaged, so not a lot to clog up the drain tubes.

I'm going to count my blessings... and check for water spots the wife may be hiding from me! :)

The sunroof drain tubes are notorious for getting clogged, which causes a leak. Plenty of how to videos on fixing and preventing.

Nice! I saw those on the Commander Nation FB page. You'll have to report back on the quality when you get them.
