NEW MEMBER REQUIRED READING!!! Important New Member information, Forum requirements & Forum rules.

Hello new members. Please allow me to welcome you to jeepcommander.com; We want you to enjoy your time here, share your experiences and hopefully learn more about your Jeep Commander by reading the valuable information that is provided and shared here among our members;

Now, that being said, we need to ensure you, as new members, take the following steps to adhere to the forum rules & guidelines that have been put in place;

First & foremost; You're expected to acknowledge & respond to all communications that are sent to you, by a Forum Moderator or Forum Administrator, in a timely manner;

This includes private messages/conversations sent to you directly, messages that are posted to you on your user profile page, e-mails, or posts from a Moderator or Administrator, that address you directly in any thread.

Failure to do so will adversely affect your forum membership, which could result in disciplinary action, if deemed necessary by JeepCommander.com forum staff.

Each member is allowed one user profile and one user profile only; Any member caught creating multiple user profiles, will immediately be permanently banned from the forum. This is a ZERO-TOLERANCE policy.

User Profile Names
; Please use some common sense & good judgement, when registering & choosing your user name. This is a public forum; Anyone who selects a username that could be construed as inappropriate, or, offensive to others by Forum Moderators/Administrators, will be banned from the forum without warning.

This also applies when selecting your avatar - any avatar images, that are deemed to be offensive, or inappropriate, will result in the offending user being banned from the forum without warning. This is also, a zero-tolerance policy.

*You may NOT post links to other websites, or blogs throughout your profile, or, your profile signature. This type of behavior is considered to be advertising and you may not advertise your website, blog or business on this forum, unless you are an approved, site supporting vendor. *

Additionally, any member caught posting links to pornography, or any other websites deemed inappropriate by the forum staff, will be immediately, permanently banned from the forum without warning.

There is no cursing or swearing allowed to be posted; Any member that posts profanity of any kind, will be immediately warned and repeat offenses will be handled with progressive discipline, up to being permanently banned from the forum, at the discretion of forum Moderators & Administrators.

If you are a new member and registering to create your user profile - YOU SHOULD TRY TO LOG-IN FROM A DESKTOP OR LAPTOP COMPUTER WHENEVER POSSIBLE. IT IS DIFFICULT (BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE) TO VIEW ALL OF THE USER REGISTRATION FIELDS IF YOU ARE LOGGED IN ON A SMART PHONE USING THE MOBILE VIEW APP.

*You're strongly encouraged to create a profile signature, displaying all of your Commander's information; Failure to comply will greatly diminish the forum's ability (forum staff & the forum membership) to assist you, with any problems, that you may be currently having with your vehicle. *

Once logged-into the forum - with the forum home page displayed, Click on your avatar, which is displayed at the top right-hand corner of your screen;

At the bottom of the menu that is displayed, select Account Settings as shown in the image below;




Once in Account Settings, select the 'Signature' tab (as shown below) where you will add your Commanders applicable information.



Once you click on the Signature tab you will see that "Edit Signature" is displayed on the top left side of your screen, with a large blank box where you can enter your profile signature text.

If you don't own a Commander just put " I don't currently own a Commander" as your signature and no further action is required.

If you do own a Commander, please create a text signature in the blank box that's provided, like the one that's underlined in blue, in the image above;

Your profile text signature should contain the following information at a minimum;

Model year; 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 or 2010
Trim package; Sport/Base, Limited or Overland;
Power-train; 3.7L V-6; 4.7L V-8; 5.7L V-8 or 3.0L CRD
2WD or 4WD;
If it's 4WD - which 4WD system do you have - QT-I, QT-II or QD-II;
Approximate Current Mileage
;

The end result should be a signature, that appears at the bottom of all of your posts, that looks similar to this:

2007 Commander Sport; 4.7L V-8; QT-II 4WD; 146,000 Miles

Once your signature has been completed, our community would certainly like to get to know you better, so, please take the time to post an introduction thread in the new member section.

This is our normal new member protocol
and a long time tradition, here in our Jeep Commander.com community.

PLEASE DO NOT post your 1st post/New Member Introduction thread, without completing your profile signature as directed here; If you do, you will be issued a forum warning. Failure to complete your profile signature as directed, will result in progressive discipline, up to & including, potentially, being banned from the forum for violation of forum rules.

The length of the ban will be determined by the Forum Moderators, based on the circumstances, as well as the member's response - or lack thereof.


PLEASE: Do not post your New Member introduction in another member's thread;

Your introduction post should be your own "New Member" thread, that you've created in the New Member sub-forum.


Please tell us your name (first name - or, even a nick-name is fine) & where you're from; Then you should follow up with other information like the year, trim package, color, power-train, and 4WD system (if it's a 4x4) of your Commander. You may also add whatever other relevant background information you would like to share.

UNTIL YOU REACH 5 POSTS - You will only be able to post in the New Member Section - but you can read any thread or post, in any sub-forum.

Once you hit 5 posts, your full user privileges will automatically kick-in and you will be able to post in the entire forum - including all of the sub-forums and you will also be able to post photos, URLs & hyperlinks.

When posting or uploading images - please don't upload or post anything larger than 1024 x 768 pixels because it bogs down the site and the image will take forever to load/open.

Since Photobucket started charging $400.00 a year for 3rd party image hosting a couple of years back, a lot of members have been asking for an alternative FREE 3rd party image hosting website - so here is a pretty good one:

Imgur

Our community is a wealth of information and we are always happy to help people in their quest to learn about the Commander they have just bought - or the Commander they are looking for.

For Anybody who is Looking to buy a Commander;

You can check to see if all of the factory recalls & campaigns have been completed for the Commander you're looking at (or for the Commander you have already bought) by clicking on the hyperlink below & plugging in the VIN; If you are still looking and have not bought your Commander yet, I strongly recommend you do this BEFORE you buy it;

Official Mopar Site | Service, Parts, Accessories & More

The difference between a safety recall and a campaign is this;

A safety recall pertains to a vehicle problem that is a safety concern; A campaign is a vehicle problem that is not a safety concern, but, pertains to customer satisfaction.

To get the factory build sheet for the Commander you are looking at, or, for the Commander you've already bought, enter your VIN here:

FCA RAM

The factory build sheet will list all of the factory options & optional preferred equipment packages that your vehicle had installed from the factory when it was built.

Additionally if you bought a Commander, and it didn't come with an owner's manual, you can download a .PDF owner's manual to save and/or print, from the website link below; Just click on "Jeep" then select the "Year" and "Model" of your Commander and click on "Select Vehicle"

Next, click on the "Owner's Manual" tab under "QUICK LINKS" then click on the "DOWNLOAD THE MANUAL (PDF)" button.

Official Mopar Site | Service, Parts, Accessories & More

NOTICE: These forum rules may be changed, or amended, without notice. It's every forum members responsibility, to check this thread regularly, for any updates or changes. By registering on JeepCommander.com, it's implied that you agree to these terms and all the other conditions of membership, as stated above.

This forum is a great place for general jeep knowledge, since many of our members have owned (or still own) other makes and models of Jeeps, so, ALL Jeep owners are welcome here.

I'd like to wish you a very warm welcome to JeepCommander.com and we hope you enjoy the forum.

Hi, new here.

What is the designated number of posts I have to have in order to post the actual question to a problem I have! Sure seems like a waste of time if someone needs a quick reply to a problem many here know the answers to.

Curious

Stupid question alert?

I think I have done all the required newb stuff but I still get the alert up top asking me to enter vehicle info so that people can answer questions more efficiently or whatever ...I click on the link it gives but it just takes me to my profile, which I thought I had already filled out properly... Any ideas?

Thanks

@Thefelixrodriguez;

You're good to go; thank you for the effort.

I'm not sure what alert you're talking about, everything with your profile looks fine.

Also there are no "stupid" questions, so, don't hesitate to ask about something if you're having problems.

Thanks I appreciate it!

Attached a screenshot of what I'm talking about

Not sure if that was ok or if I need to upload to a third party first for any pic

Figured that was for like multiple huge pics.

Feel free to delete if needed

You may be seeing that because there are other profile questions you have not answered, when all of your profile questions are answered - you should see what I'm showing you in the pic below; And FYI, uploading screen shots on the forum is not a problem.

Big Blue,
I think I've completed the requirements. Looking forward to being part of the forum.
Thanks
@B12hooligan;

Yes you have, thank you very much for the effort; I look forward to reading your new member introduction post.

How do i delete or remove my account? I can’t personally message admins, I’m not familiar with the format so I’m having trouble just navigating the site, apparently it’s a crime to ask questions. I was hoping to have found something less toxic but here we are.
@NyahhWilliams; Your profile looks fine now - I can restore your thread if you like; Or I can contact an @Administrator and have your account deleted - the decision is yours.

It's not a crime to ask questions & it's certainly not "toxic" here; However, just to be perfectly clear:

We absolutely expect our new members to read the New Member Required Reading sticky thread, before they start posting; We expect you to follow simple instructions when they're given to you - And you should always - at the very least - acknowledge & respond to any communications that are sent to you by Forum Moderators or Forum Administrators;

I don't think that's asking too much.

Also, all forum members - including new members, have the ability to PM (Private Message) an Administrator, which you will see when you click on the link below;

https://www.jeepcommander.com/forums/members/8782-administrator.html

EDIT: Your Thread in the Electronics / NAV Discussion sub-forum has been restored. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask and welcome to the forum.

I cannot fill in the about me section nor can I access any thing to finish my registration
@Michael Rhoads;

You need to log-in from a desk-top or laptop computer and follow the instructions in the first post of this thread. You will not be allowed to post on the forum until your user profile is properly completed.

To get the factory build sheet for the Commander you are looking at, or for the Commander you've already bought, enter your VIN here:

https://fcacommunity.force.com/RAM/s/equipment-listing

Secondary link: https://jeep.custhelp.com/app/jeep/eqlisting_detail/

The factory build sheet will list all of the factory options & optional preferred equipment packages that your vehicle had installed from the factory when it was built.

The difference between a safety recall and a campaign is this; a safety recall pertains to a vehicle problem that is a safety concern; a campaign is a vehicle problem that is not a safety concern, but, pertains to customer satisfaction.
Thanks for the link to Recalls. It works fine.

I am trying to get the Factory Build Sheet from the links above.
First link shows "Nothing Found" after entering VIN.
Second link times out before loading. I tried on two devices.
Is there another link that works?
Thanks,
Spyder

@Spyder; Welcome to the forum. This link is working fine for me when I enter my VIN, my build sheet pops right up;

To get the factory build sheet for the Commander you are looking at, or, for the Commander you've already bought, enter your VIN here:

https://fcacommunity.force.com/RAM/s/equipment-listing

2 things I'd double check;

Make sure that you don't have a pop-up blocker enabled, that could be blocking the Build sheet document/.PDF from opening up;

Make sure you're entering the correct VIN.

This also applies to posts in any thread, from a Moderator or Administrator, that are specifically addressed to you. Failure to do so will adversely affect your forum membership, which includes the possibility of being banned from the forum for violation of forum rules.

Each member is allowed one user profile and one user profile only; Any member caught creating multiple user profiles will immediately be permanently banned from the forum for Violation of forum rules.

Profile User Names
; Please use some common sense & discretion while registering & choosing a user name. This is a public forum; Anyone who selects a username that could be construed as offensive to others and/or inappropriate, by Forum Moderators/Staff members, will be banned from the forum without warning. So again, please exercise good morale character & sound judgement, when selecting your user name.

If you are a new member and registering to create your user profile - YOU SHOULD LOG-IN FROM A DESKTOP OR LAPTOP COMPUTER. There are New Member Profile Questions that must be answered with profile fields that must be filled out; They are easily accessed & viewed if you are logged in from a desktop or laptop computer - IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO VIEW ALL OF THE PROFILE QUESTIONS / FIELDS IF YOU ARE LOGGED IN ON A SMART PHONE USING THE MOBILE VIEW APP.

These Profile Questions / Fields are a mandatory requirement and must be answered & filled in completely by ALL FORUM MEMBERS .

If you post your 1st post/New Member Introduction thread without completing your user profile as directed here - your thread will be deleted and you will be issued a forum warning, or a forum infraction, depending on if it's a repeat offense or not. Failure to complete your user profile as directed, will result in progressive discipline, up to & including, potentially, being banned from the forum for violation of forum rules. The length of the ban will be determined by the Forum Moderators, based on the circumstances, as well as the member's response - or lack thereof.


To answer your profile questions and complete your profile fields, Click on your username and select the "View Public Profile" tab and click on "About Me" and you will see the questions that need to be answered to update your user profile information.

Once again, completing your user profile is mandatory - Failure to comply will result in progressive disciplinary action, up to & including the possibility of being banned from the forum, for violation of forum rules.

If you don't own a Commander just answer "No" to the "Own a Commander?" question and you don't need to answer any more of the Commander specific questions. If you do own a Commander, obviously, you'll answer "Yes" and then answer the rest of the questions pertaining to your Commander.

When your user profile questions are properly completed, your Commander's information will be displayed beneath your username/avatar like this;

Own a Commander?: Yes
Model year: 2008
Trim Package: Sport
Power-Train: 4.7L V-8
2WD or 4WD: 4WD
