In this episode of Hoovies Garage, we delve into the rugged world of the Jeep Commander, a machine that was once deemed "unfit for human consumption" by none other than the Stalantis CEO himself. Despite its rocky past, this forgotten gem presents a unique opportunity for automotive enthusiasts looking to conquer the off-road without breaking the bank. With a Hemi engine, low-range transfer case, and limited slip differentials, the Commander packs a punch at a bargain price of $3,000. However, its lackluster design, impractical third-row seating, and poor fuel economy have left it overlooked in the world of capable off-roaders.
But fear not, as the team at Hoovies Garage sees beyond the Commander's shortcomings and envisions a transformation that will turn this underappreciated SUV into a true legend. By addressing its design flaws with a lift kit, bigger tires, and suspension upgrades, the Commander is poised to reclaim its spot as a formidable off-road machine. Partnering with a Mopar expert, the host sets out on a mission to breathe new life into the Commander and unleash its full potential.
As the inspection reveals various issues like warning lights and front suspension leaks, the team remains undeterred in their quest to revitalize this neglected off-roader. With plans to tackle repairs and enhancements, the Commander is on track to undergo a remarkable metamorphosis. Stay tuned as Hoovies Garage embarks on a thrilling journey to transform the Jeep Commander into a rugged beast that will reignite the passion for affordable off-roading adventures.
