Hey Guys! Just starting to build out my '21 Renegade TH. I've got the FrontRunner Slimline II, upgraded wheels & tires, Valkyrie skid plates, Awning and started the electrical accessory wiring 'backbone'. Just finished adding a couple of Baja Designs recessed lights to my liftgate for day &...
When it comes to Commanders, the later the year, the better. The 4.7L had significant engine upgrades in 2008 that added 70HP & more Tq. In 2009 the Hemi had significant engine upgrades as well, added another 30HP. Ideally, you'd want to find a low mileage 09/10 Hemi with QDII 4WD system, or...
Basically, the newer the model the better the reliability. Hemi had upgrades in the 09-10 model years. I would only buy those years with QuadraDrive II if I were shopping for one. 08+ 4.7L had similar updates, like 70 hp upgrades. Mine is the 08 with the 4.7L, engine has been solid. I just...
If you like the Commanders, you'll want either the 08+ 4.7L (added 70 HP & 44 lb-ft of Torque), plus a bunch off reliability improvements to the engine, but, very tough to find that engine with the QDII 4WD system. Like was said earlier, 09-10 got similar improvements to the Hemi, which is very...
I like my 4.7L, its the 2008+ engine which added 70 HP to 305 HP and 334 ft/lbs of torque among many other engine upgrades. It also is E85 compatible which I run almost exclusively. I love my 4.7L and chose it over the Hemi. Now...if I can find a 2008+ 4.7L w/QDII, I'll be all set.
Kinda of a slow project for me. 2 kids off to college, so the 'fun' budget had to shrink. Anyway, got a couple new tires purchased & installed. Some Firestone NDT's from Coker Tire to give it a little more military look. I decided against different rims. Opting for the existing rims...
Bummer on the radiator. My Commander is an '08 and I'm planning on doing a complete cooling system swap this Fall. Radiator, hoses, water pump, thermostat, etc...the plastics just don't last forever. I wish there was an all aluminum replacement.
I need to look at my alerts more often. They're good quality. I won't hesitate putting them on when I'm ready. I deleted the 'Commander' going up the side and opted for solid metal. I am thinking I may just chop off the light bar and only attach the lower portion that holds the 2 pods...
I just see a lot of similar arguments when snowboarders starting hitting the ski slopes. Old-School felt the New-School was going to ruin everything for everyone. Tear up the trees around the slopes, get things shut down, etc, etc. The sport evolved, just like Overlanding will.
Starting...
