Budget Overland XK Build

[IgniteAdventureDustin]

Good morning everyone!

Quick intro; my name is Dustin and I'm from the lovely state of New Mexico! I currently own a 2008 Jeep Commander Limited equipped with the 5.7L Hemi. It has a few mild modifications as of right now but I plan on building her for cross-country overland trips and weekend getaways! Pictured below is what she looked like when I first got her and where she sits as of today, September 23, 2016.

I hope to meet some of you out there on the trails, cheers!

Absolutely stock with my trusty Overlander by Smittybilt strapped to the roof:


Equipped with 265/70/17 KO2's, AEV Savegre Wheels, RCX Leveling Kit, Bilstein 4600 Shocks/Struts

Nice looking rig man. I'm currently in NM myself and have a commander as well. Not sure what direction I want to take it in as I am still very new to overlanding and off-roading in general, but I really like where your going
