    Jeep Commander Review, 2 Years in the Making

    on the front you won't get anymore travel out of the bilstien struts. i talked to the company about the struts and he said they are just an OEM replacement. so you can remove the front sway bar and not have any issues other then more body roll. on the rear those look to be OEM length...

    Jeep Commander Review, 2 Years in the Making

    you can remove the links on the rear sway bar and leave it there just fine. its on the axle and won't move any. on the front end you will need to remove the 4 bolts holding the sway bar on the body. its fairly easy to remove.

    Jeep Commander Review, 2 Years in the Making

    you'll have to test to see what happens. how are your rear shocks? if they are only an inch longer then stock you should not need to do anything with the brake lines. but you should still check by driving up a loading dock with one tire on the ramp to check the brake lines. i'm using 12"...

    Jeep Commander Review, 2 Years in the Making

    i guess it depends on your driving habits. i've had mine removed for about a year now and it has not rolled yet. i guess my best suggestion is to use common sense. its a jeep, not a ferrari. if you don't feel safe without them, just leave them alone. i drive mine everywhere and on the...

    FSJ buildup- Tank!

    the tank should be pretty good. 42 gallons should give me a nice range. if i get 17 mpg on the highway i can go 714 miles per fill-up. but it will be a little expensive to fill up. $120 for a full tank.:Wow1:

    new replacement fuel tank for FSJ's

    consider the fact that you can go to a junkyard and pick up a 42 gallon suburban rear tank and it fits behind the rear axle with minor modifications. and it will only cost you about $20 for the fuel tank and $20 for some straps to mount the tank in the back. that price is really steep. but...
