If I plan to change out the bumpers for an after market bumper that can receive a winch I will go with the one on the right... I think..

I like the little added strip down the middle of the doors though.

Did anyone notice the 13.5 gallon fuel capacity? That seems low, right? I think the GC has something like a 20 gallon capacity.

If you can get just over 29 mpg in the patriot than you are in that 400 miles per tanks range.... which seems like what everyone is trying to hit.

I looked at the webpage today and the epa rating for the off road fdII patriot is only 21/23. I am a little disapointed in that. That won't get you 400 miles on 13.5 tank.

400 miles a tank would be nice.

My questions is, can I get a Limited without that fugly silver thing on the bumper? Or can I take it off w/o screwing up the stock bumper under it?

It doesn't really matter either way. I'm going to put aftermarket bumpers on first chance I get. But the question is worth asking.;)

The MPG is comparable to a RAV 4 and a Honda and the Jeep is a more capable vehicle but Yeah,I wish it was better.Is that picture of a Jeep in blue the same shade that was on the Jeep webpage a while back?
