Yea, I was thinking it was almost a year ago that the Commander was being introduced at the New York Autoshow. When I saw it I knew I was going to own one. I didn't plan on waiting a whole year but hey, I have changed my mine on exactly what I wanted a dozen times since then anyway. I ordered exactly what I wanted, although I gave up the Nav system for the DVD system but I have an eleven year old and he will only be young once and I thought it get him excited about the new Commander and Jeeps in general. My other thought was it would be easier to install a Nav system later than a factory DVD system.
I already have a new chrome grill that's going on it as soon as we get home. I also ordered a pair of chrome tow hooks off a 06 Grand Cherokee Overland that will be installed also. Thats the only chrome that I will be putting on. I like the monotone look on the rest of the base Commander. I think on the dark colored Commanders the body colored grill gets lost. The chrome looks better I believe. The light colors look good with body colored grills as there is more contrast between the black grill inserts and the painted parts.
I will post pictures of my Commander next to my 90 Grand Wagoneer soon. I would like to see photos of the Commander next to some XJ's also.
