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 conversations sent to you directly, messages that are posted to you on your user profile page, e-mails & 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 include disciplinary action, if deemed necessary by a JeepCommander.com forum staff member.

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.

If you have a website or blog, you MAY list your website hyperlink, or URL, in the block of your profile, that is specifically designated as "Website".

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

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.



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 like the one 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 4WD - which 4WD system you have - QT-I, QT-II or QD-II;
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:

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.
