It's just a photo chop. I probably wouldn't do it.

Looks cool enough I could see it being done.
Not by me... but someone.

imo, it certainly makes a better looking low rider than a CRV or RAV4 would... or a Suburban which there are actually quite a few of.

You could always install an airbag suspension, then pick whatever ride height you want.

the muffler would almost drag on the ground.....not a fan!

love your black rims though - think it would look good on a steel blue Pat?

Why would anyone want to even think about doing this to a Jeep? They either have way too much time on their hands, too much money, or a combination of the two.

Thing better have towing points if it's anywhere near snow this winter.

interesting.....cost?

I have the darker navy blue but even the lighter looks pretty good.

You could have them powdercoated for around $30 per wheel, or you could spend $10 on a couple cans of spray paint and DIY like me. :D

I would almost consider doing this but I know that it would cost way too much to integrate air suspension on a pat, especially a 4x4. Maybe I will if I win the lottery, lol. Then I could just buy another Jeep to off-road in:banana:

I think it's wonderfully function, especially for the off-road version, but it needs rock sliders.

It's for the person who wants to get a lot of use out of skids and sliders but doesn't get much chance to go off-road. Here, every parking lot speed bump would be an adventure. Daily driving would become ever so much more interesting.

Wow!

I'm not sure where ya'll live, but I live in Houston Texas. In Houston, it never snows, and if it does, it's the snow that melts before it hits the ground. Also it's very flat here, not allot of hills. It's also very urban, so there are no dirt roads or anything over here. It's pretty pointless to even have 4x4 vehicles in Houston (even though my Pat is). So what I'm saying is, it's a totally different culture over here, me personally I like when trucks are slammed to the floor with 24's or something, will I do it? Probably not cause I'm a broke ass college student. But I think it's pointless to Jack your vehicle up, and put big ass tires on it. But if thats your style, all the power to you.

I don't plan to take mine off road either. I got it for the looks, cargo room and fuel efficiency. :)

I lifted my Pat and am not a fan of the dropped look. NO THANKS. Jeeps are not meant to be dropped.
