Will you customize your Patriot? If so, how?

Not how would you like to... but how will you actually change your Patriot?

I'd like to see a bit of the stock capabilites are before deciding what to do.

Most likely, I'd use the Pat for light trails and build another ZJ for heavy trail duty. So, not really sure how far I'd into modifications for it.

Though, if I found a body in white....SFA, SRA...HEMI...ya know...little stuff! :D

I definitely need to see what it can do before deciding what I can do with it. This will replace my DD and be our family's only trail/camping rig so I need to make the most of it.

First thing to change will be the tires.

Possibly the headlights... in the rainy, overcast Pacific Northwest, switching over to the ultra-bright headlights like the GE Nighthawks (www.ge.com/nighthawk).

You might want to ask this question after you see what kind of aftermarket support the Patriot will see.

The patty would be my DD as well... First thing, tires. Next, SEMA Patriot type front bumper.
