    Nice! The more pix I see of these, the more I like them. Those look like some big-ass front brakes!

    A 3.2 V6? I thought the Pentastar came in 3.0 and 3.6 varieties...?

    Best of all it actually has enough towing capacity to pull a light trailer with a miata. It is rated at 4500 lbs.

    Trailhawk is supposed to be a pretty boss package. Congrats.

    Yes, they actually delayed shipping the entire line by 2 months while they developed the new software and flashed all of the already built units. The one in mine is very smooth.

    Sweet ride!

    Went out an played this morning. It performed great on the ice/sleet covered roads (over an inch in my area). I found an empty parking lot and did some emergency manuevers and panic stops. I was not able to get it to slid out or fishtail. The ESC system is very nice. I did not try turning off the ESC system.

    Nice. What is the MPG? I loved my Rubicon but the mileage sucked.

    Awesome! First car was a TJ and now I've got a Commander Overland.

    I saw a Cherokee in the real yesterday on the freeway, but i'd like to see one up close though. Glad you went with the Trailhawk! Like mentioned above, the more I see of it the more I like it.

    Very close. It's the road up to Clear Lake west of Silverton, CO.

    There aren't too many places on earth that look like that. I try and get up there every few years. I'm planning on going next early Summer. Now that I've got a vehicle of my own that can tackle some of those passes, I've got the itch again!
