Commander - Accidental Classic?

I've been getting a lot of positive comments over the last year about my truck. Looking at prices for low mileage specimens, they have gone way up (I've seen several north of $15k USD).

The Commander with QDII is great offroad compared to other SUVs in its size class, can tow easily especially with the Hemi, has a ton of space for gear, has a really good comfort/luxury level and is cheap to maintain as long as you keep on top of things. It also has a unique look so you stand out from the crowd.

I think even though it didn't have a long run in the market its becoming an accidental classic. Thoughts?

I couldn't agree more. Personally (and I know many will not like hearing this), I'm done with mine. I still have Bilstein shocks and rear JBA springs to waiting to be mounted (was going to replace the 2 puck lift along with adding some coilover kit to the front), and a host of other things and parts.. but after replacing the tcase 3 years ago, the motor 2 years ago, the RF axle a few months ago, the radiator 3x recently, and a hundred+ other things... I'm done. Especially now that it needs more front suspension work, and the rear heater core lines now leak. Why? Because of course they do. Couple that with an unfindable AC leak that's been driving me nuts for 3 years now, and I'm ready to part ways with it. It's a damn shame too because it really does have the best 4wd system on the market... but the rest of the vehicle is the downfall. Not hating, just tired and not rich enough to afford it anymore.
